Here it is, special official 2CD modern house music addicted release!
With mixes from Mark Brown (MYNC Project) and DJ
AXL (director of Star Music).
If you want to know what is rocking the dance
world at any given time then speak to Mark Brown.
His unfaltering talent for recognising a hit and
tenacious approach to getting music signed and
heard has seen him rise through the ranks to
become one of today's most respected figure heads
within the industry.
One of Mark's most prolific roles is as that of
label boss and A&R extraordinaire. He started
Credence - the seminal dance imprint of EMI back
in 2000 and signed massive acts including Eric
Prydz and Brit-boys Dirty Vegas amongst others;
their album subsequently sold over 2 million
copies world wide and was even #7 in the American
charts, while their single 'Days Gone By' went top
ten in the UK. Credence also won Label of the Year
for 2003 in IDJ magazine.
In a time when dance music often played second
fiddle in the charts to pop and guitar bands Mark
garnered commercial success for the dance acts he
signed, so when in 2004 EMI decided to close
Credence (making Mark redundant) it was a
no-brainer that he'd soon be back doing something
on his own. Just one month later Mark set up his
own label - Cr2.
"I wanted Cr2 to be a continuation of Credence but
bigger and without the constraints of being tied
to a major label." says Mark.
Success so far for Cr2 includes the # 1 hits David
Guetta Vs The Egg 'Love (Don't let me go') and
Fedde Le Grande - 'Put your Hand's up for
Detroit', other hits include Danny Howells & Dick
Trevor 'Dusk til Dawn' and many more. The label
has also set up the touring brand 'Live and
Direct' which encompasses tours and albums, the
next release under this banner will be 'Oscar G
live from Miami'. IDJ awarded the same accolade to
Cr2 as they did to Credence 3 years earlier and
voted Cr2 as label the year in 2006.
Aside from the obvious achievements with Credence
and Cr2 Mark is also an accomplished producer and
one half of the DJ outfit M.Y.N.C. Project with
Nick Corelli. They are renowned for their
four-decks/ two-mixer shows and innumerable
effects units, where they take DJing beyond simply
playing other people's music into the realms of
musical creation and live performance, twisting
pre-recorded sounds into new and original dancing
spells. Mark and Nick make up this dynamic duo,
who have created their own brand of quality
underground house and have been playing together
for eight years.
M.Y.N.C. started DJ-ing at Passion in 1999 in the
Redroom, and the influential residency resulted in
the pair being voted 'Future Heroes for 2002' in
M8 Magazine. In 2003, they moved into the Main
Room of Passion, outgrowing the space that shaped
their sound. The act then launched M.Y.N.C.
Sessions at Leicester University in 2004.
Together they have notched up 6 singles including
'Something on your Mind' with Abigail Bailey and
'R U Sure' which was a Beatport top 10. They have
also completed 5 compilations since 2001 including
EMI's 'Dedicated Followers of Passion', 'Credence
Volume 1' and forthcoming is the new Sessions
release on Ministry of Sound (due in September
2007). For this release Nick and Mark decided to
do separate mixes to showcase their individual
tastes. Mark comments "Everyone knows us as a 4
deck-2mixer DJ outfit and so we thought we'd do
something different on this album- we like lots of
different things as individuals so it made sense."
The latest addition to Marks production bow is
'Brighton Belles' co-created with Steve Mac, it is
getting a full release on Cr2 in October 2007. The
track has already confirmed some stellar guest
remixes coming from Manoo of Buzzin' Fly fame and
2001 - a massive talent hailing from Holland.
In the pipeline for Mark as a solo artist is a
remix for Kylie and a rather special track linked
to a well known bank advert - watch this space!
And of course Mark continues his efforts with Cr2,
keeping it one of the biggest independent dance
labels on the planet today.
