This is Blake L. Markle speaking. I make left-field jungle breakcore type stuff under the names Black Market and Zark Behida...
Also weird breaky house and 2step w/ tortured necro-sex vocal stylings as Blakkar Noir on Panospria
I also have a 12" out on JungleX records under the name Anti-Man which is straight up ragga jungle amen mashup business.
For reals though - my website is www.flatwax.com and that’s where I update show info, and have links to a lot more tunes, and there’s also an hilarious photo blog if you’re into that kind of thing. Check it! Don’t look here for news! There is some of my brilliant artwork there too. Go there now please sir.
Releases:
NEW!
Blake Market - "Northern Wood" on Irish label Acroplane - January 2008
ACP016: Blake Market - Northern Wood
Blake Market (aka Black Market, Zark Behida, Blakkar Noir) re-emerges with an album of utterly up-front, forward-looking hard drum n’bass.
Based on a far-flung concept inspired by the natural grandeur of the Boreal Forests of his homeland, this release is certain to please lovers of both old-school techstep and drill n’ bass alike (to the exclusion of pretty much
everybody else! - ed). Seriously though, it’s well good.
Pounding, splintered odd-meter breakbeats and thoroughly Canadian nature samples are paired with grizzly basslines and suspicious synths in this off-kilter winner.

Here’s a dubstep mix I did, summer 07. All original tunes of course
Zark Behida - Step Sigma split 12" with Subtone on Trotch Records - November 2006
This record represents cutting edge Montreal dnb at its finest.
Black Market - Gluttony on Spunktronics - August 2006
It’s a 3" cd with one 18-minute long track.
Buy it for 3.50 (that’s in british pounds ;-)!

If you don’t have the CD but want to hear a few tunes whilst perusing this epic and aslo very cool story, here are 8 of the songs.
Black Market - Sabres High on G25productions - September 2004
Buy this one too - some actually prefer it to the above one! I must admit, it too is rad.
Black Market - Kilimanjaro - self released - August 2000
A track by track remix of the groundbreaking 1968 Miles Davis proto-fusion album "Filles De Kilimanjaro". Sick in many ways. Download the whole thing here , I don’t give a shit!
