MEAT KATIE
Thursday Sept 7th

Meat Katie is the alias of south Londoner Mark Pember, the producer and DJ that borrowed the name from a video in a porn store and went on to produce music with a unique blend of breakbeat, house and techno.

Meat Katie name has established himself as a pioneer in a style of music that we can loosely term as breakbeat. Having started amid the upsurge of 90s big beat with Ceasefire and Kingsize Records, Meat Katie cut his first album called “Off The Bone” in 1998. Since then a steady progression has been witnessed; Mark’s big beats became funky breaks and funky breaks slowly mutated into elements of house, breaks and techno. This dancefloor orientated brand of “tech-breaks” has been forged while the majority of other successful breaks producers from the same generation have moved onto making “nu school” and “intelligent breaks”, which have seduced a largely armchair based audience.

This recent transformation in breaks hasn’t swayed Mark from confidently continuing along his path in music production, “I’m comfortable with it. But like they say, you can’t please everyone. I’m more pleased that people like Seb Fontaine, Steve Lawler and Lee Burridge are playing my music regularly now, whereas before they never did. I’ve been making records that I can use in a set and they’ve all been really well received, and that’s kinda nice”.

Mark's many collaborations with other artists have also consistently stood on the cutting edge of conventional breaks production. The Meat Katie name has been spotted scattered across scores of album covers alongside people such as Arthur Baker, Dylan Rhymes, Lee Coombs, Elite Force, B.L.I.M. and Rennie Pilgrem.
