Mark Instinct was always into the sounds of electronic music, but it wasn’t until his introduction to drum and bass, at the age of seventeen, that he decided it was time to add his own mark on music. With impeccable taste and skill sets, early bookings with Hive, Pendulum, Noisia and Tech Itch started to gain him recognition in bass circles around Western Canada.

At the age of 20 years old, when Mark Instinct started experimenting with music production, he finally found his niche. Beginning with drum and bass, and dabbling in other genres, such as house, it was the grimy stripped down sounds of dubstep that ultimately caught his attention. Creating dark nasty beats, synonymous with the Western Canadian sound, Mark Instinct soon began to chisel out his own distinctive style imprinted on releases “Sketchy Maxx” and “Fword”.

Attention from record labels Rottun, Dubline and Aufect recordingss lead to the release of “Invader” and “Badman Sound” in 2009, tracks which were soon found on the top-ten playlists of many international DJ’s. Forthcoming “Destroyed” and storming “15 Karat EP” are slated for release in early-mid 2010. Additionally, tracks released on Betamorph Recordings “The Humunaoid EP” & Aufect Digital’s “Love me Nots” release were featured in the top ten charts of Juno, Chemical Records, & Digital Tunes.

Dubstep dandy and local bounder, High Rankin is one of the scenes more eccentric artists. His music brims with character and personality that engulfs the listener as well as causing the obvious dance floor riot! He has an excellent moustache and will fight anyone who disagrees. A man of unhindered honesty, it seems, as the above is the first story of business that he utters throughout this short trip around his musical lifetime. But High Rankin’s introduction to the world of music was far more simple than his introduction to the one of business. “It seemed like the easiest way to pull chicks as I couldn’t play the guitar, and I thought it would be cool”. See, simple. But when you get down to the nuts of bolts of what High Rankin is actually about, there’s not only an inimitable personality behind everything that he does, but an unfaltering ethic and politik stemming from the most simple elements of his musical back and foreground.
