He's more than that though as he has been active on the UK music scene for more than a decade and has is a DJ, producer, remixer, artist and owner of the label Grand Central. Mark Rae now has two solo artist albums with the release of ‘Into The Depths’ as a follow up from his first album, ‘Rae Road’ which was released in 2002. The new album has musical reference’s to Mark’s hip hop roots with his choice of beats and rhythms on the new material, however, the emphasis is firmly on the creation of a vibe with live musicians, proving to be a driving force of this new album.
