About Me

My name is Mark Forshaw. By day I work as a graphic designer/artwork co-ordinator for a medical company. All the rest of my time I eat, breathe and sleep music; whether it be producing tracks or DJing around my hometown of Liverpool. I've played at many club nights including Voodoo, Aztec, Alcatraz, Disted Twisco, Bommynite, Lost Soul and Dust to name a few but my best memories are of the night that I founded with Scott McGill called T-Funkshun. The night ran from 2001 til 2005 and during this time we, together with friends Nick Hardie and Dave Lawton had the honour of playing with some of the most respected underground DJs and producers on the planet including Derrick May, Larry Heard, Terrence Parker, Dan Bell, Stacey Pullen, Rolando, Mike Grant, Stewart S Walker, DJ Bone, Anthony Shakir, Kenny Larkin, Surgeon/Regis, Freddy Fresh, Luke Solomon, Baby Ford and Thomas Melchior.
Please check out my productions on the player below. Some chicago disoid activity, lo-fi house and detroit influenced techno.
I made this music playlist at MyFlashFetish .com.
