Mark Broom

During the Second Summer of Love in 1989 Broom was travelling to Tenerife, where he first heard music genres like Chicago house and Acid house.^[2] At his return to the UK he bought his first turntables and started his musical career.^[2] He regularly visited the London record store FatCat Records and was introduced to Baby Ford as well as Ed Handley and Andy Turner from Black Dog Productions.^[2] Broom became a DJ in Ford's club Nude.^[3] Together with Handley and Turner he released a few records for General Production Recordings.^[2]

While Broom first was mainly associated with intelligent techno, he later focused on dancefloor oriented productions.^[3] Broom and fellow musician Dave Hill in 1994 founded Pure Plastic Recordings, at which Broom's debut album Angie Is A Shoplifter was released in 1996. Broom, Hill, Handley and Turner also released one album and several singles under the moniker Repeat.^[4]

Hill and Broom also founded the project Rue East and released the albums Summer of Blood (1998) and Indoor Culture (2001). Both continued to release their music as a duo under different project names such as Midnight Funk Association, Sympletic, Visitor, Voyectra, and White Lines.^{[citation needed]}

In general Broom has kept a relatively low media profile.^[4]
