Mark Barrott

Mark Barrott returns to Anjunachill with his latest EP ‘I Am The Sun, You Are The Moon’ featuring revered jazz singer Norma Winstone and drummer Leo Taylor.

A constant innovator across nearly four decades, Barrott’s career has spanned breakbeat futurism ('Time and Bass', 1996), downtempo introspection ('Memories From A Fading Room', 2007), and the balearic-leaning ‘Sketches From An Island' series following the launch of his International Feel label in Uruguay. Alongside his own work, he has produced for artists including South African DJ Themba and the late Virgil Abloh, and in 2022 debuted on Anjunachill with ‘Johatsu’, which was followed up in 2024 with ‘Everything Changes, Nothing Ends’. Barrott’s music has received widespread critical acclaim and radio support from BBC Radio 6 (Mary Anne Hobbs, Zakia, Nemone), BBC Radio 3 (Night Tracks, Hannah Peel), and KEXP, as well as features in Pitchfork, MOJO, Uncut, and Resident Advisor. Most recently in 2025, Mark was celebrated by Pitchfork as the ‘master of sunset music,’ with The Guardian praising him for ‘flying the flag for the original Ibizan chillout spirit, cementing his place as one of the defining artists in contemporary chillout and downtempo music.

Now, with his forthcoming EP I Am The Sun, You Are The Moon, Barrott embarks on a new chapter - one that bridges his Balearic sensibilities with jazz’s timeless expressiveness. For this release, he joins forces with Leo Taylor (drummer for the likes of Hot Chip, Joy Crookes, Floating Points, Jai Paul and more) and acclaimed jazz singer Norma Winstone, whose vocals were recently sampled in Drake’s 2023 chart-topping single IDGAF (feat. Yeat). Together, they create a sound that feels both timeless and transcendent - where rhythm meets reverie.

Speaking on the EP, Mark says: “At the end of the summer, on a clear bright starry night I climbed to the top of a mountain in Ibiza with a pair of headphones and listened to these tracks and lost myself in the vastness of the night sky and the endlessness of Norma’s voice. At that moment everything made sense in my world for the first time in a long while and it just felt right”.

Norma Winstone also says: “I was surprised and delighted to be asked to participate in this very musical project and to be given such a free hand. Trying to integrate the voice into what were already beautifully formed pieces was creatively very interesting”.

‘I Am The Sun, You Are The Moon’ EP is out now on Anjunachill.
