Musical career

Mark Brydon made a name for himself before Moloko as a member of the English 80s house acts Cloud 9 and Krush and remixed bands as diverse as Eric B. & Rakim and Psychic TV .

Moloko

At a party in Sheffield he was approached by a then unknown singer named Róisín Murphy with the question "Do you like my tight sweater?", Which would later become the title of the Moloko debut album . After that party, the two became a couple both musically and privately.

Before the recording of the fourth studio album Statues , which was released in 2003, Murphy and Brydon ended their love affair and went their separate ways privately. However, as Moloko they continued to work together and toured Europe and Australia almost continuously for 18 months after the release of Statues . Brydon mostly withdrew for promotional purposes.

There has not yet been an official separation of the band.

At the moment (as of 2009) Brydon is working on smaller projects and is building a new studio. He also continues to make music and works as a remix artist DJ Plankton.
