Biography of Mark Broom

It all started in the summer of 89 when Mark went on holiday to Tenerife and in the clubs they were spinning the now legendary acid house music. On his return to England, Broom went on a search for this music and found it. Then he bought some turntables and the birth of his musical career was born. After a few years of playing at people's parties, Mark decided to try his hand at making music.

Through a friend he was introduced to Ed Handley and Andy Turner from Black Dog Productions [who are both in Plaid now] and together they created Broom's first musical ideas. These ideas went on to be released on general production records. The studio used for these first recordings was called UXB Studios and was run by Dave Hill. After many visits to UXB, Dave asked Mark if he would be into making some tracks together and from that day their musical and later business partnership was born.

In 1994, they started Pure Plastic Recordings which has played host to many of Mark's musical productions ranging from the landmark 'Angie is a Shoplifter' LP through to the recent 'Rave Days' EP. Mark has also recorded on many of the world's best labels including A13, Ferox, Ifach, Speaker Attack, Mosiac, Dark House Music and New Electronica. As a DJ, Mark has spun at some of the world's best clubs ranging from Belgium's Fuse Club to Spain's La Real. As a remixer, Mark has had the pleasure to mix artists like Eddie Fowlkes, Ken Ishi, Ben Sims, Samuel Sessions and The Advent to name a few.
