This weeks episode of the CityWestPodcast comes from Shindig resident Mark Lowry.

Monikers - Mardel, Airgroove, S-Low, Damaged People, Black Atlantic, Solaris Heights.

Easily surpassing over a decade and a half of active service as one of the North East’s most successful and notably humble DJ’s and producers of electronic music, Mark's dedication towards production values has landed him gigs and invites up and down the UK at some of the countries best clubs including Turnmills, The End and Global Gathering Festival. Mention the word “Resident” though, amongst Newcastle's proud cobbled alleys of clubbing and Mark's reputation will most certainly come up in conversation. Not one to simply fade into the background as part of the furniture only to reappear on a Saturday night on cue, Marks versatility to deliver to Shindig’s fiercely loyal crowd with quality house music at night is backed up by the exceptional standard of production coming out of his studio by day.

Mark has dabbled in deep house, progressive and techno along the way and in the process built up a impressive CV; Past and present studio work covering all angles and including non-dance related teaching projects are a welcome escape and development platform for Mark's sound, which ranges from club oriented sounds, to soul infected grooves; all seemingly operating on a common notion of melody. In 2008, Mark took his Shindig relationship even further collaborating with Lexicon Avenue's Scott Bradford and Mark Armstrong under the alias S-Low & Damaged People.

Collaborations and accompanied remix projects, on labels such as UrbanTorque, Saw (Mardel), Movim (Airgroove) and Positiva, have not only gained plenty of support from underground DJ's, but represent another chapter and slice of Mark's output, whilst subsequently raising his profile as a name always on the rise. In particular re-workings of Pete Moss and Scope giving a outlook and passion for music, not tethered by style but of consistently layered deep house, never forgetting the important and often overlooked drench of musicality. With no shortage or ideas or goals, Mark now co-runs the Urban Music Training academy in Newcastle (that our very own CityWestRecords are also in partnership with) and is still heavily involved in the Shindig Warehouse Parties at W34.
