British dance music legend Colin McBean has produced the majority of his solo material under the name Mr. G. Moving from the harder, faster techno and electro sounds of his work with Cisco Ferreira as the Advent during the '90s, McBean split from the duo in 1999 and continued producing tracks in a rugged but soulful tech-house style, focusing on tough but swinging rhythms. Since the late 2000s, he's gained a wider audience through releases on Radio Slave's label Rekids, including the 2013 double-CD Retrospective, and a memorable appearance on popular online broadcaster Boiler Room. He's also released several full-lengths, with albums like State of Flux (2012) and A Part of Me, Vol. 2 (2018) containing his most personal material, and 2023's Pearls Don't Lay on the Shore featuring abstract downtempo pieces. He collaborated with Spooky's Duncan Forbes on the 2023 album All Under One Moon.
