Subsonik

FORMATION RECORDS | WORLD OF DRUM&BASS OKLAHOMA, USA Not only is Mark Subsonik dominating the ‘Trance ‘n’ Bass’ sound that John B has made so popular, but he also enjoys wearing shorts, has over 1000 friends on Facebook and once came third in a national lemon eating contest (alright… we made that last ‘fact’ up). Subsonik fell in love with Drum & Bass in 1996 but has in fact been involved with music for much longer, having played the drums for over 20 years! He began DJing and in 1997 played his first event alongside Wally ‘Pish Posh’.

It took seven more years for Mark to get bitten by the production bug, but once he had there was no looking back. Combining his love of both Trance and Drum & Bass, his musical output mixes the epic melodies and atmospherics of the former and the punchy breakbeats and weighty bass of the latter to devastating effect. It’s his love of rhythm and musicality that is setting his sound apart from the crowd and winning him the support of DJs up and down the D&B scene, from the aforementioned John B to DJ SS and Drumsound & Bassline Smith.
 
His heavy-hitting melodic tunes have been picked up by Drum & Bass' biggest and brightest imprints: Beta Recordings, System, SOM Music, Project 51, Technique and DJ SS' Formation Recordings. As of 2015 Subsonik has been signed to Formation Records Exclusively as the label jumps into its 26th year of releases, a milestone reached by no other drum&bass label on the planet. Expect huge things from Subsonik in the coming years now working alongside DJSS & the rest of the Formation / World of Drum&Bass Camp.
