Redlab
Redlab (Mark Balderston)
While studying music as an undergraduate, Mark’s interest in electronic dance music was first piqued by his introduction to DAWs as a composition tool. In 2005, trips to Buzzlife parties at Nation with his good friend BOB cemented his love for dance music and the seeds of Redlab were planted.
BOB showed Mark the ways of the Technics, and he honed his skills throwing house party after house party for anyone who would show up. After a series of unfortunate and random monikers, Mark had a revelation while riding shotgun to the convenience store–it was the first six letters of his last name. Backwards …
Since then, Redlab has spun everywhere from radio guest spots to club residencies in Charlottesville to the OtakuRave in Baltimore. He’s appeared at some of the DC area’s best parties–events like Transit, Digital Invasion, and Welcome To The Jungle. 2009 saw him join forces with Breakbeat Energy and area crew the Dubstep Legion Of Doom, and this year Redlab will be a resident at the Tribalistix crew’s new weekly party in Virginia, Whomp Whomp.
Redlab’s DJ sets feature an eclectic selection of dark and weighty grooves. Drawing from the best of dubstep, techno, 2-step, breaks and house–he mixes deftly from deep and techy vibes to fat and dirty stompers while always keeping the subs pumping. In the studio, Mark strives to uphold the same high standards for his own heady yet bumping beats. Look for Redlab’s original tuneage to be released on unsuspecting clubgoers and netizens in the near future.
