In 1988 an insightful classmate made a tape for Mark that had the US 12 inch Single of Oh L'Amour by Erasure and three tracks by Information Society. Mark (obviously) fell in love with the synth-pop sound and quickly started collecting all the Erasure he could find.
In 1993, a friend lent Mark "Lucky Bastard," Vince's sample CD. Listening to those samples, riffs and loops opened up Mark's imagination to the possibilities of digital remixing.
Sometime around 1994, after dropping over $200 on the "Love vs. hate" vinyl, he realized that he had amassed every sonic product that Erasure had ever officially produced.
Then he started remixing unique versions of Erasure songs. With thelaunch of markymix.com he's shared his remixes with the Erasure community and continues to remix the most sonically perfect duo to date.
By lifting beats and samples from established dance floor hits and meshing them with the tried-and-true pop perfection of Erasure, Mark gives the Erasure listening experience a new dimension.
In 2003, Mark gave a demo of his remixes to Vince and Andy. Two months later he was contacted by Mute Records to produce their first official megamix comprised of Erasure's greatest hits. The Limited Edition Greatest hits featured the work and was released globally.
Mute then asked Mark for a new mix of Erasure's classic, Oh L'Amour. The remix was the first digital single for Mute Records and for Erasure.
Mark uses multi-track mixing software, single-track editing software, hardware and software synths to acheive his sound.
