"Born in the sleepy surroundings of deepest Devonshire, Mark Yardley picked up his first Fender Strat aged eleven. He then spent the next eight years forgetting to wash his hair, dropping in and out of bands and generally getting familiar with as many different instruments as he could lay his hands on - just as his lifelong idol Prince would have wanted.
After a move to Manchester to study sound engineering at Salford College, Mark spent his evenings at the Hacienda, soaking up the best that the likes of Park and Pickering had to offer, before returning to the Big Smoke to start from the ground up at a studio complex. Two years of solid graft later, Yardley went freelance, and promptly picked up his first gig engineering for UK garage pioneers Tuff Jam and producing for 51st Recordings, their label stable at the time.
Engineering a slew of seminal 2-step cuts both underground and overground (including DaClick's top 20 hit 'Good Rhymes'), Mark also found the time to start a production project alongside the then head of A&R at 51st Recordings, Dom B. That project was, of course, Stanton Warriors, and the boys' first release under the moniker saw them score an underground genre-skipping smash with Sasha favourite 'Da Virus', and all this while Yardley was simultaneously lighting up the house scene with 'Back & Forth' as Supakings (on Pete Tong's FFRR label), with his friend and long term collaborator, David James. The two also co-wrote 'Always (A Permanent State)' , which was released on Hooj Tunes in 2001.
As Stanton Warriors' stock grew and grew, Mark shifted his focus to the project full-time, resulting in the rapturously-received, multi award-winning 'Stanton Sessions' compilation (released by essential imprint XL, home to The White Stripes and Dizzee Rascal), a top ten-charting remix of hip-hop legend Busta Rhymes and countless sell-out tours of the world's biggest clubs and festivals.
Recently, Mark has found time to link up with good friend and house supremo, Martijn ten Velden, as Splittr (a project that has seen him turn in several stunning vocal performances, notably on signature track 'All Alone'). He has also been producing plenty of solo material (including a hook-up with Prince muse Rosie Gaines) and, of course, continues to maintain the broken beat behemoth that is the Stanton Warriors, with whom he has just released the third installment of their now-legendary 'Stanton Sessions' series."
Mark's been working with friend and Beats recording artist Son Of Kick (aka D.A.T.A.) on an as yet untitled project, the fruits of which are on the player above..."Sweat".
The ever-so-hipster and upfront blogsters Palm Out Sounds also recently featured another of Mark's spin off projects IllSelf, when they included his mix of Bloc Party 'The Prayer' in their Remix Sunday trenche.
