Artul Dodger
Originally comprising of producer Mark Hill, the name Artful Dodger is already established as the most commercially successful UK Garage act to have emerged from the scene to date. The original duo produced a slew of chart topping hits including 'Re-Rewind' and 'Woman Trouble' and floor filling remixes that confirmed Artful Dodger's place as a premier production act. Since the return of Mark Hill. Mark Hill & Dave Low are now joined by MC Alistair, and Artful Dodger are now storming the urban music scene once again, with a fresh new sound. As Dave reveals: "It's a whole new Artful Dodger set up so we thought we'd take it back to the roots level. Back to the streets where it all began." The first fruit of the group's return will be the track "Flex" (featuring Vula). This not only marks the first new music from Artful since their debut platinum album "All About The Stranglers" in 2001, but also marks the reunion of the founder member & producer Mark Hill with new member Dave Low. The 2nd single from the new line up which has been keeping the boys busy in the studio is the new single "One More Chance" featuring the vocal talents of 17 year vocalist Mark Aswari & Artful Dodgers very own MC Alistair, which is getting full support from radio & club alike and the UKs leading players including Ras Kwame (Radio 1), EZ, Matt Jam Lamont, Scottie B, Jamie Duggan, Shaun Banger Scott & Nev Wright to name but a few. Their idea now is to present Artful Dodger as a 'showcase' act, rather than a mere production outfit.
