Manchester's MRK1 has been causing a stir on the Grime (Dubstep/Sublow/Forward) scene since his first release on his label Contagious over two years ago. He has appeared in a handful of magazines, including Deuce, Mixmag, B&S, Touch to name but a few, and was nominated for BEST GRIME PRODUCER at the 2003 Sidewinder awards. When one of his early tunes was dropped at Forward, things started moving and he became accepted into the wider 'Forward' scene.
