Mako Biography
Written by Lorna Clarkson
Starting out as a Canberra-based collector of jazz, soul, funk and breaks, Mako mastered
his decks at an early age, able to cut up his collection into pastiches of beat-funk
menace, capturing the ear of the most attention deficit dancefloor.
He quickly made a name for himself in hip hop circles and, when the brighter lights of
Sydney beckoned, Mako packed his headphones and soon found a place as a resident at The
Globe nightclub. His acute scratching technique coupled with his broad reference
collection of music saw him being booked for trick sets, hooking up with Nick Toth under
the name Dharma Bums and touring with Ninja Tune on, not one, but two of their Australian
tours.
Mako’s obsession with beats was never restricted to breaks and he was soon seduced by the
sounds of house music - a dirty word in hip hop speak. But purism is for the narrow minded
and Mako was never one to limit himself in his relentless quest for musical growth and
challenge.
Between ’99 and ’01 he co-promoted Vinyl, Third Bass, seminal breaks night Blueprint @ The
Globe and, the pioneer in deep house nights, The Deep End @ Frontier. He has played at the
most cutting edge nights all over Australia and has a very loyal following from his
Sydney-based radio show Top Shelf which he co-hosts with Lorna.
Now Mako has taken the next logical step, starting to write and produce his own material.
Signed to Floating Point Music, he is currently working on his debut album which is
expected to be as eclectic as his Djing influences. He has had an amazing response to his
recent remix of the Multiball single ‘Newbie’ and he is also branching out into theatre
work, invited to put together the sound and music for the upcoming Sydney Theatre Company
production of ‘Mr Kolpert’ written by David Gieselmann, directed by Benedict Andrews
(Fireface) and starring Sophie Lee.
