Mark decided to take us back to the days when searching out loops in dusty basements and secondhand record stores lifting kicks & snare, bassloops & Hooks bits of vocals from films etc… this was seen as part of the creative process, finding a 4 bar loop that would inspire a whole track, mark has made it slighter easier for you by allowing you to get a taste of what can be achieved and how far you can diversify with his loops by his demo that moves effortlessly through the techy genres, still maintaining a moody and an overall feel, the very same feel has gained him a reputation as being a unique and influential Artist, very hard to pin down but the words ‘Tech-Funk’ just ooze out of this pack.
