Mark Chadwick, better known by his stage name Chad Jackson, is an English DJ, remixer and record producer. He is best known for his hit single "Hear the Drummer (Get Wicked)", but he also created member only mixes for the Disco Mix Club (DMC).

Music career

Jackson was born in St Helens, Merseyside, England.

He won the DMC World Championships competition in 1987.[1] His career started in 1990 with his debut single "Hear the Drummer (Get Wicked)", which consisted of samples. It was a hit, peaking at number 1 on the UK Dance Chart and number 3 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]. It was based on "900 Number" by the 45 King, which has also been the theme music for BBC Radio 1's dance music show The Big Beat. However, his second single "Freedom to Party (Construction Mix)" failed to chart. He then made a remix of "Under my Skin" by Frank Sinatra along with DJ Luca. It was released on Juno Records in 2011.

Jackson now teaches music production skills at Academy of Contemporary Music. Since July 2012, he has been co-hosting an electronic music radio show on Kane FM, with his long-time friend and musical accomplice, Professor Stretch.

He has also performed under the pseudonym 'Drumscape'.
