Following the success of Om´s first Sound Design album mixed by Los Angeles´ house legend Marques Wyatt, comes the perfect counterpart to further the soulful house tradition. Receiving national attention in the late nineties as Cajual Record´s top gun producer, Mark Grant has enjoyed mass appeal with "Dancin´" as Chicago Connection and the Braxton Holmes EP, as well as remixes for Holmes, Glenn Underground, Andre Harris and Green Velvet. Building off his stardom, Mark has also recorded material for Guidance, whose "Spirit of the Black Ghost" and "Fly with me" remixes remain popular with house heads around the globe. Coverage of Mark´s career has landed him features in such heralded publications as Mixmag, DMA and URB.
Djing has been a major factor in Mark´s rise to international stardom. Using a mixing style that emphasizes tension and release, Mark lets tracks work together to create movements in the mix that take it through different moods seamlessly. His skills behind the decks have garnered him top spots from Paris to Los Angeles and all places in–between, influencing a worldwide following of partygoers. When home in Chicago, Mark still rocks his longstanding (6 years) residency at Boom Boom Room (Red Dog/ Mondays) as well as frequent guest appearances.
Mark Grant has come with his masterpiece work in Sound Design 2. "I´m sound designing me or as much of me that can fit into 74 minutes. Instead of focusing on one particular feelin´ of what I know as house, I decided to incorporate some of my depth and experience I´ve gathered over the years." says Mark. After intense thought and preparation, this album is designed to be the "perfect mix." The resulting 74 minutes is a continuously blended tour de´ force (on three turntables) of hard to find gems and underground house cuts that create a must have CD like no other.
