Mark Angelo Lusardi

Mark Angelo Lusardi, brother of the famous glamour model Linda Lusardi, was a pioneer of UK dub who’d honed his skills in London’s Gooseberry Sound Studios recording with the likes of Dennis Bovell, Creation Rebel and Prince Far I in the late 70s. He would later set up his own Mark Angelo Studios which, amongst its other clients, included the leading Reggae label Greensleeves, with Lusardi working, most notably, on Clint Eastwood & General Saint’s ‘Two bad DJ' (1983). His long-time association with maverick British bassist, Jah Wobble, goes right back to his time with Public Image Ltd. Lusardi also worked with P.I.L and Sex Pistols - a good example of the links between punk and reggae at that time. In the mid-90s he developed an outboard EQ / filtering device called “The Mutator”, used by numerous recording artists including Massive Attack, Radiohead, William Orbit, Beck, Leftfield, and Daft Punk.
