Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.
UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.
COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.
Marc Smith is a Scottish hardcore/freeform DJ and producer from Glasgow. He owned the Notorious Vinyl label and the Notorious Records shop on Union St. in Glasgow with Tony Montgomery and was prominent in the Happy Hardcore scene, where he also worked with other DJ's including Sharkey, Scott Brown and many others.
Peel didn't play much of Marc Smith's material in the 90's, but in 2002 he obtained a single of Marc's collaboration with Safe n' Sound called Identify The Beat, which got played regularly by the DJ, including one time where he played the track twice in one show. The song later reached number 9 in the 2002 Festive Fifty. It was also included in Peel's FabricLive.07 mix CD.
