About Me


On crime-productions front page now: click here to read in full
“The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There’s also a negative side”
Beginning his career in 1999 with a split EP with Michael Forshaw on the latter’s much loved Chan ’n’ Mike’s label, Hawkins was soon noticed by Saskia Slegers (AKA Miss Djax) for whom he has now recorded 6 eps on her well known Djax Up Beats imprint.
He has also released on, amongst others, Pro-jex, Mosquito and Hoerspielmusik. Mark has also performed regularly over the past 5 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, but fat sound.
In 2003 Mark began his own label, Crime, which is proving to be a credit to his already impressive history, and has featured original and remix work from Si Begg, Bill Youngman, DJ Urban, Michael Forshaw and Rotorik alongside Marks own productions.
