Technical Itch

mark caro

Back in 1991 Mark Caro (aka Technical Itch) was based in Birmingham, UK, DJing at local parties & started out on the production trail with a very limited set up. As his musical production skills and talent developed Mark's unit became more professional and he released tracks as ENTT through the Ibiza label. Mark had by now hooked up with Darren Beale (Decoder – now member of band Kosheen) forming a partnership on the first Plasmic Life EP that appeared on the Brain imprint. Further releases ensued, but Mark had the desire to set up his own label, and so Technical Itch Recordings was launched.

The label successfully took off, especially with the support of DJ Kenny Ken, who played a selection of Technical Itch tracks on the legendary Kiss FM. The rewards began to reap and all of Marks hard work began to pay off. On the back of this exposure the Technical Itch name was signed to 'Moving Shadow' and the label was renamed Tech Itch Recordings. By this time Mark was settled in Bristol and in partnership with Darren, as they say - the rest is history.

With strong links to Moving Shadow over the years Tech Itch Recordings has been playing a major part in the Drum and Bass worldwide scene. Mark's original tracks are widely renowned for their unique style, high level of production and programming. With over 50 releases on the Tech Itch label and over 25 on sister label Penetration, along with countless releases and pseudonyms on many other labels - Mark’s stronghold over the drum and bass community is without question. Easily one of the most sought after and heralded producers in the scene and with knowledge gained from attending many many mastering sessions over the years his knowledge is second to none.
