Biography
Caleb Macken
Irish music producer, audio engineer and DJ.
A fan of music growing up, it wasn't until Caleb found hip-hop and DJing that he saw his path into becoming a musician. Immersing himself in the art form, he taught himself how to cut and scratch by listening to DJ Premier cut-up scratch hooks on Gangstarr albums. He soon graduated into production and forged a career as a hip-hop producer under the alias DJ M-1. Releasing numerous albums on labels such as Chopped Herring Records and Tuff Kong Records, his music received airplay from various radio shows, including none other than DJ Premier himself. In 2023, Caleb released his first track under his own name, 'Dub Cut 1', on the vinyl compilation 'MOVE' from Mines Clarence Records. The track, an electronic dub workout, explores Caleb's influences in the electronic music world. His music retains that early influence of analog 90's hip-hop production, giving texture and warmth to his music.
