Mark Chadwick (born 28 November 1969), 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] The track was based around a horn sample from Marva Whitney's 1969 single "Unwind Yourself" and also sampled the 1973 song " For the Love of Money" recorded by The O'Jays. However, his second single "Freedom to Party (Construction Mix)" failed to chart. He then made a remix of " I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra along with DJ Luca. It was released on Juno Records in 2011.

He has also performed under the pseudonym 'Drumscape'.
