“Style is the answer to everything,” booms the gravelled American drawl over Mash’s bass-house groove. The Bukowski monologue continues, “To do a dangerous thing with style, is what I call art”, and develops into one of the finest examples of spoken word house up there with Sagat’s “Fuk Dat” or DJ Duke’s “12 Minutes of Dreams”. Early supporters include; Francois K, Seth Troxler, Agoria, Marc E, Round Table Knights, Pezzner, Tom Flynn and Untold. Radio support comes from Rob Da Bank, Andi Durrant & Mash himself.
Mash (real name Martyn Henderson), broadcasts on Capital FM every Friday from 2am to 5am. His show is known for playing the best in underground house, bass & techno.

He has released on labels such as Dirt Crew and Blue Black as well as on his own Tracktion and CompactDisco Dot Net labels. His single ‘Somebody’s Property’ (featured in i-F’s classic mixed up in Dublin ’06) has recently been re-released with new mixes from Sei A, Ooft!, Kevin McKay & Rob Etherson.
