Mark Pritchard

Mark Pritchard's oeuvre runs the gamut from evocative atmospheres to intensely physical club tracks that traverse many points along and outside the hardcore continuum. In the early '90s, he was among a wave of upstart producers that crashed the U.K. pop chart. Over the years, Pritchard was behind over 20 guises, most significantly Global Communication with Tom Middleton. During the 2000s, he moved into radiophonic sounds as one-half of Harmonic 33, and fused Latin jazz and broken beat as Troubleman. His Harmonic 313 alias combined hip-hop with dancehall and acid house, and his Africa Hitech project with Steve Spacek mixed garage, grime, and footwork. Since the early 2010s, Pritchard has operated under his birth name on Warp, authoring dancefloor-aimed EPs and the wide-scoped listening adventures Under the Sun (2016) and The Four Worlds (2018). The first of those LPs featured Thom Yorke, with whom Pritchard made Tall Tales (2025).
