Although considered a breakthrough artist in recent times, Rudosa has been a standout talent for a commendable period in underground circles. Since first announcing his arrival on the scene well over a decade ago, he has carved out a definitive sonic palette that has understandably brought its fair share of kudos from both industry specialists and club-goers alike. This wholehearted peer support has led to international tours not only around the UK and Europe, but further afield to India, a domain well-known for its love of robust underground techno music.

During today’s podcast, we sit down with Mark aka Rudosa to gain some perspective on his journey, his approach to producing Techno and a deep dive into his musical world beyond Rudosa which includes his own school ‘Make Me A DJ’. Towards the end of the podcast, Mark also enlightens us to his current perspective on lockdown and the opportunity for the local intimate scene and venues once lockdown begins to open.
