Biography

T Power (real name: Mark Royal) is a drum and bass producer, who comes from Bow in (east) London, UK. Originally starting his production career in the UK hardcore scene, he moved into jungle as it was spawned out of hardcore rave. Wanting to avoid the increasing politics within the scene, he began to produce experimental drum and bass, culminating in the seminal Self Evident Truth Of An Intuitive Mind. Following from this, came the next album Waveform. Less accessible, it carried his experimental tracks further into the leftfield. He himself proclaimed it as “self-indulgent”.

Partnering with Shy FX, he began to producer “happier”, more party-oriented, jazzy drum and bass - Shake Ur Body, being the clear example. Long Time Dead was released, cementing the return to dancefloor-oriented drum and bass and breaks.
