Editorial Reviews

Mark Rae has been at the forefront of the UK music scene for over a decade. DJ, producer, remixer, record company owner and artist, he has a passion for music, which has taken him to his latest destination.

Into The Depths is Mark’s second solo album (his first, Rae Road was released in 2002) and represents a maturity of song writing and production skills.

There are bold musical references to Mark’s hip-hop roots with his choice of beats and rhythms on the new material. However, the emphasis is now firmly with the creation of a vibe with live musicians which has been the driving force behind the recording of this new album.

The album’s performances were mainly recorded with the use of ‘vintage’ equipment. This attention to detail really shows through in the sonic quality of the record. Other key contributions include singer Pete Simpson (J-Walk, Sunburst Band) and the production techniques of Rhys Adams and Lance Thomas.

Into The Depths is a soulful and organic statement. Lyrically it’s the most personal work Mark Rae has recorded. Musically it’s a sophisticated and mature album from one of the leading lights of the UK music scene.
