Mark Devlin is a UK-based club and radio DJ and music journalist. In more recent years he has begun speaking about the dark forces that have been manipulating the music industry for decades. This led to the publication of his book 'Musical Truth' in 2016, with Volume 2 following in early 2018.
His debut novel, 'The Cause & The Cure,' arrived early 2020.

Wrapping up the year with the heaviest underground hip-hop and associated genres from the last three months - another oasis of musical creativity in an ocean of mainstream pap!
So here we go with the latest three-part instalment in the Bangers series - the big dancefloor slammers of the past twelve months.
It's getting harder to label these given the continued blurring of genres, but the first consists of what passes for mainstream "R&B" and "hip-hop" in 2011, and gives a useful indicator of where the music has been at for the past 12 months. I'll say no more on that.
For a more interesting excursion, therefore, hit the Reggae Dancehall mix, while once again, the most musically inspiring one for me is the UK Funky/ Dubstep offering. Plenty of exclusives there that will be of particular interest to anyone outside of the UK, and some speaker-shattering basslines.

In this special podcast, MD relates some of the favourite stories in the book.
