Back To Mine With Markee Ledge

Markee Ledge, a true pioneer in the Bristol drum and bass scene, has made a lasting impact on the city’s musical evolution. He founded the legendary club night Ruffneck Ting, a cornerstone of the DnB community that championed boundary-pushing artists and sound system culture. As founder of Breakbeat Culture, he helped launch key names like DJ Fresh and D*Minds, while his collaborations with Decoder as Decoder & Substance graced many of the scene’s top labels. As the core writer and producer behind the internationally acclaimed act Kosheen, Markee brought his deep songwriting and production skills to a global audience. His 2024 album Laws of Emotion was a critically acclaimed work of emotional depth and praise for its powerful narrative and sonic scope. As his brilliant new collaborative ‘Soul EP’ with Megatron MC lands on Zonal Recordings, DMCWorld goes Back To Mine with Markee Ledge.
