Biography

Some areas of hypnotherapy work on the premise that while your concious mind is focusing on the louder, more obvious sounds, your subconcious is sitting listening to the parts you’re not paying close attention to. Meditation tapes have being using this technique since the 70′s, meaning anyone too busy to go and see a shrink, can learn to quit smoking just by drifting off to sleep with a self-help tape playing. Sounds cute, but it works. Mark Delaney, the UK-based producer behind Out Of My System, thinks this is really cool, and maybe something he can have some fun with.

Beginning his DJ career in the early 90′s, Mark’s love of repetitive beats and the early rave scene steered him towards pirate radio where he hooked up with the North-West’s ZEE 100 station. As part of the burgeoning Liverpool club scene, and the station’s expanding reach, ZEE 100 attracted the attentions of the authorities resulting in several raids, confiscated equipment, and fines all round. It was at this point that Mark shipped out to Greece where he held a 3-year residency at Future, Corfu, before returning to the UK with the intention of doing “a proper job”, albeit, one with less free beers. Quietly maintaining a life on Civvy Street, it was the emergence of Ableton Live that served as the catalyst for Mark’s return to music full-time. Witnessing the backlash that some were receiving for DJ’ing with Ableton on the net, he was quoted as saying at the time, “..if Sasha’s championing this thing as the future of DJ’ing, then it’s got to be worth a look. Who am I going to pay attention to? Some guy on a forum who I wouldn’t know if I fell over in the street, or a DJ I’ve had some of the best times in my life listening to….?”.

In late 2005, Mark set up www.abletonlivedj.com, a site dedicated to, in his words,’the next wave of digital DJ’ing’. Mark’s reasons for putting the site together was to have a home where the focus was DJ’ing with Ableton Live, store all the great info that gets lost from the official forums, and hopefully, make contact with the future digital DJ’s, producers, and labels that we’ll be listening to for years to come.

Out Of My System is a fitting moniker for the sets Mark produces. Partly a tounge-in-cheek reference to his beefed-up, and much-loved studio, but more tellingly, a description that could be applied to a life-long fan of dance music, who is compelled to play his part, and literally, get his music out there.

“My mixes have always used speech samples to complement the music, which is something I’ve done ever since hearing “My Life In the Bush of Ghosts” by David Byrne and Brian Eno. It originally came out in 1981, but I only came across it in 1990. It’s a collection of tracks interspersed with ‘found sounds’. Thats what they called snippets of vocals they’d come across that they used to back this album of fantastic music with. From samples of crazy preachers, to disgraced politicans, and even an exorcism, they produced an album that’s got me baffled how they came up with considering the equipment back in 1981. It’s like the pyramids. This podcast covers some fantastic tracks that are about right now, and one all-time anthem for me, backed with movie samples, self-help therapy tapes, and random weirdness from the internet. Hope you like it.”
