Greg Roberts / Mach 1


Main image

Writer, producer, DJ, drummer, programmer and sample addict. Starting out in a variety of small bands Greg cut his teeth by playing drums in as many sessions and gigs in all styles until joining Big Audio Dynamite in 1984. There he was given a drum machine to use which opened up a whole new world of writing and arranging. After extensive touring and making the first four albums he left BAD to form Screaming Target before finding his spiritual home in Dreadzone in 1992.
