Following on from the success of “Dirty Old Hip Hop” Marc returns with a
new Visioneers record Hipology. “Hipology is a collage of some of my
personal influences as a DJ/Producer growing up listening to Hip Hop; a
real eclectic mix of Breaks, Beats, Soul, Jazz, and freaky squeaks and
not a sampler in sight. Visioneers is about revisiting my love for Hip
Hop; What is was and what it is; the musical influences and the
culture...”. Features guest spots from John Robinson, TRAC & Baron, Notes to Self, Luke Parkhouse & The Ariya Horns.
Marc Mac is one of a rare breed of producers who moves smoothly between
different genres flitting between pseudonyms while leaving a trail of
quintessential releases. Straight Outta Dollis Hill London Marc Mac is
one half of the legendary outfit 4hero and also founder member of
Reinforced Records a label positioned at the cornerstone of early
electronic music in the UK. In the late 90‘s Marc signed to Gilles
Peterson’s Talking Loud Records with his group 4hero comprising of
himself & Dego (2000Black), they went on to produce 2 great albums
with Talking Loud the Award winning “Two Pages” & “Creating
Patterns”. 4hero then went on to set up their new label where they
released the critically acclaimed “Play With The Changes” and most
recent “Extensions”. Somewhere in this timeline, between producing
music for Jill Scott to Roy Ayers, Phonte to Terry Callier, Marc started
another project called Visioneers releasing a set of limited 7” singles
