Mark Errington Brydon (born 22 December 1960) is an English bassist, guitarist, composer, arranger, recording engineer, remix artist and producer best known as a member of the group Moloko.
He comes from Sunderland, England, but established himself in the Sheffield music scene, most notably with the funk band Chakk whose advance from MCA Records financed the building of FON Studios. Before its bankruptcy, Brydon had divested himself of his interests in legendary FON Studios, for which he did everything from designing the studio architecture to hand-choosing equipment.
Brydon made significant contributions to the 1987 British pop hit "House Arrest" by Krush. He furthered his career with contributions to records and remixes such as "The Funky Worm" (whose single "Hustle! (To the Music...)" would become a number one hit on Billboard's Dance Club Songs Chart in 1988) and efforts by The Human League,Psychic TV, Boy George, Art of Noise, Sly and Robbie, Cabaret Voltaire and other groups. As a bass player / producer, he was a member of Chakk and Cloud Nine.
