Mark Hawkins

An experimental and forward thinking techno producer with a rich back catalogue of releases and gig history that has taken him to seminal clubs like Tresor in Berlin and U60311 in Frankfurt. Beginning his career in 1999 with a split EP with Michael Forshaw, Hawkins was soon noticed by Saskia Slegers (AKA Miss Djax) for whom he recorded 6 EPs on her well known Djax Up Beats imprint.

He has also released on labels such as Pro-jex, Mosquito and Hoerspielmusik. Mark has also performed regularly over the past 8 years, both live and as a DJ in The UK, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Malta, Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland, Russia and Australia.

His live-act is hardware only, going against the flow of laptop / Ableton sets that have become the standard for so many artists, allowing him to have his own unique, fat sound. By 2004 Hawkins was finding fresh influence from living in Berlin before beginning his debut album in 2006, ‘The Doomsday Clock’, from a new base in Poland. His latest projects are production guis and his own imprint Snork, which has been gaining immense interest with the likes of Richie Hawtin and Magda, ultimately leading to a remix of  EP01 by M-nus artist Hobo in 2009.
