User Reviews:
N_TANNAM, Sep 05, 2004

Mark "Manix" Mac is one half of the infamous 4 Hero ! Together with partner in crime Dego McFarline they dominated the early releases on the mighty Reinforced Record label ! Mark produced "Manik" piano/hardcore tunes under the name Manix, and I think Dego produced more intelligent/experimental hardcore(dare I say Drum n Bass) tunes under the name Tek-9 and the two brought both different elements together under the name 4 Hero. Funnily enough not many of their tunes feature on any of the rave compilations from back in the day ! Their most famous namely "Head in the Clouds" and "Feel Real Good" ! Tunes like "Alright Wid Me", "Let Your Mind Be Free", "Try To Love Me", "Hardcore Junglism" and "I Cant Stand It" were massively overlooked ! Respect Due !!!
