Sparkz has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 20 episodes and was first played on 4 January 2014.

UK Hardcore producer. I have been producing for more than 10 years. Over that time I have had a list of releases. It started off with a release on "Ultimate Rush" perhaps 6 years ago. I opened my own label "Lightning Sunset Records" which I decided to give up before its first release. Since then I have had releases on "Cutting Edge Hardcore" and Co-Run the successful "Hardcore Producer Volume 2" free album.

Recently I entered the "Tryed and Tested" remix competition and won which meant my winning remix was released. For a short amount of time I joined "KRush Records" but decided the label wasnt for me.

Now I still have releases on labels but I also offer services such as help and track remixes to up and coming artists. I also work on my midi construction packs for websites such as "Studio Loopz"

Manchester born Sparkz started writing lyrics and producing his own tunes when he was just 15 years old.

In 2009 he won music competition "MCR Superstars" and was awarded the prize of travelling to New York to meet various hip hop artists and have the chance to work in the studio with them. He leaves next month.

Inspired by his win Sparkz began to work harder on music by improving his production skills and getting his hands on the microphone at nights in Manchester.

With hype building and his name appearing alongside the likes of Mouse Outfit, Broke n £nglish and Skittles he's ready to show you his combination of laid back productions and honest real life lyrics with his first free download. Download the "Back To Basics" EP exclusively from his Facebook and get ready to start hearing about him a lot more often.
