Hello people, I am Mark, more commonly known as HB, the alias under which I spin hardcore and old skool. I used to co-promote Elation up until recently and have played at a plethora of hardcore and old skool events countrywide playing for just about every major rave organisation including Slammin Vinyl, Hardcore Heaven, HTID, Uproar, Best of British, Ravenation, United Dance, Raindance, Tasty alongside the cream of the smaller events including Elation, Total Bedlam, Flabbergast, Resonance alongside partner in crime, DJ Ponder! Production-wise I have had several releases on the Elation record label and have featured on many compilations over the last 5 years with tracks such as the massive White Widow, PH2, On My Mind, Let Go, Elated alongside Ponder as well as several ongoing solo projects such as Lips and (life of a) Stag. Our MC of choice is the legendary MC Elmo, the best there is in my own opinion and someone that can show the big boys a thing or two including his cross-dressing antics!!
If anyone wants to book me for classic hardcore (1994-2007) and old skool sets then get in touch. I am no longer available for up front hardcore bookings after Dec2007 unless you require myself and Ponder. Book Ponder anyway!!
As a raver I can be found selling a variety of shelled goods like limpits, swollen mussels and am usually slumped somewhere looking slightly wonky towards the end of the night.
I throw a firm "Up yours" at the ridiculous politics present within the dance music scene although I must admit enjoying adding to them;-)
Big shouts out to:
Ponder, U4EA, Elmo, Rizladizla, Sharkey, Luna-C, Uplift, Sc@r, Cris E Manic, Lukozade, Wizbit, Brisk, Ham, Sy, Unknown, Jon Doe (CLSM), Wotsee, Kev Energy, Robbie Long, Kurt, Stormtrooper, Al Storm, Rush Dee, Colin Trixta, All @ Raindance, Tony & Dick @ Resonance, Slimjim, all the USH H8Rs, all the KFA crew, my DSI plurry chums, Mitzi, Caine, Sedders & Rude @ Uproar,
In my spare time I work on several conservation projects including work for the Heacham Crab trust in Norfolk and The Bat Foundation in Bedfordshire. Bats and crabs are my life!!
Catch me at decent events such as Elation, Raindance, Riverdance, Freeformation and probably several DnB events in the future! I can then tell you stories about Ponders amazing random horse whipping machine!
I will write more guff when I can be arsed!
