{ "ok" : true, "artist" : { "name" : "Mark Southeron", "page" : "mark_southeron", "description" : "Led Zeppelin meets Underworld", "location" : "Sydney, Australia", "bio" : "Sydney born producer, songwriter and musician Mark Southeron brings an eclectic mix of styles to the fore. Mark worked with his friends Brett Lee and Hayden Turner as guitarist, songwriter and programmer in Aussie bands The Story and Field of Mars in the late 80's and early 90's.\n\nHis love for producing music began as a teenager listening to Yello records and writing and recording tunes with his school friend Todd Emslie on a Boss D110 drum machine, Korg Poly 800 and a guitar. His sound would best be described as Dance / Electronic but scratching under the surface however you'll find he's more than adept at traversing the Industrial, House, Drum and Bass and Rock flavours in sound. A theme that is being used more on recent productions is the use of heavy guitar sounds over electronic dance beats.\n\nAs well as film tracks and a huge list of remixes for established artists and labels, including Ted Mulry, The Atlantics, Atlas, Stella One Eleven, Gilli Moon and great labels such as Kult Records, Mark's most recent project has been a collection of very well received lounge tracks recorded with his long time friend Hayden Turner and released under the moniker of Tokyo507.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/mark_southeron_new_small.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/mark_southeron/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "msoutheron-symonsarcade", "name" : "Symon's Arcade", "artist" : { "name" : "Mark Southeron", "page" : "mark_southeron" }, "release_date" : "2016-05-11", "genres" : ["Electro Rock","Darkwave"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["dreamy","nostalgic","melancholic","reflective","sensual"], "uses" : ["podcast background","cafe or restaurant","lounge or bar","study or focus","emotional storytelling","travel"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["live guitar","vintage synthesisers","samplers","funky disco guitar","jazz-inflected elements"], "sounds_like" : ["Led Zeppelin","Underworld"], "summary" : "A chillout album blending lounge, trip-hop, and disco with live guitar, vintage synths, and soulful vocals—ideal for relaxed, reflective, or stylish background use.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Mark%20Southeron/Symon's%20Arcade/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/msoutheron-symonsarcade/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/msoutheron-symonsarcade", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=msoutheron-symonsarcade" },{ "sku" : "msoutheron-msoutheron", "name" : "Mark Southeron", "artist" : { "name" : "Mark Southeron", "page" : "mark_southeron" }, "release_date" : "2011-03-30", "genres" : ["Electro Rock","Electronica"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["energetic","driving","aggressive","groovy","mysterious","dramatic"], "uses" : ["sports or action","gaming","trailer","podcast intro or outro","advertising","tech or product demo"], "energy" : 5, "instrumentation" : ["hard edged guitar","synths","electronica beats","male vocals","psychedelic rock textures"], "sounds_like" : ["Led Zeppelin","Underworld","Pink Floyd"], "summary" : "A high-energy electro-rock album blending hard-edged guitar, electronica, and psychedelic rock, ideal for dynamic video intros, trailers, and action-oriented content.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Mark%20Southeron/Mark%20Southeron/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/msoutheron-msoutheron/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/msoutheron-msoutheron", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=msoutheron-msoutheron" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
