Behind the music
About Remarc.
Remarc’s recorded history is closely tied to jungle’s rapid changes during the 1990s. His music appeared on Dollar Records, Suburban Base, Kemet, and White House, with the Amen break becoming a central part of his production vocabulary. The Dollar catalogue offers a concentrated view of that early work rather than an indiscriminate list of scene affiliations.
In 2003, Planet Mu released Sound Murderer, collecting recordings and remixes from the 1993–1997 period. Alongside Drum N’ Bass Wise and Sound Murderer, the compilation included his remix of R.I.P. and work with Simpleton. Its purpose was to return increasingly scarce records to circulation, including tracks receiving their first digital issue.
The following year’s Unreleased Dubs ’94–’96 opened another part of the archive. Planet Mu described the collection as documenting jungle’s movement towards drum and bass and jump-up. It placed ragga material such as Bad No Bloodclart beside the hip-hop references of In da Hood / You and Me and the proto-techstep of Darkaworld.
That range complicates a profile built solely around breakbeat intensity. The same collection includes André’s Dream, a 1995 piece written for his son, which Planet Mu describes through piano and strings rather than Amen drums. Later Dollar activity included the Evolution EP, bringing Remarc together on a release with Serum, Bladerunner, and Turno.
