Def Child

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Def Child aka Mark Harmsworth, known for his epic style that combines the perfect mix of dark and heavy with melodic and sublime, he is no stranger to making a dance floor get busy.

Co-founding Halifax collectives ‘Break Beat Elite’ and ‘The Halifield Movement’ his influence will be forever ingrained on the city’s nightlife. He has played all over Eastern Canada and the United States, sharing the stage with such greats as Excision, Bare Noize, Dieselboy, Lorn, Flux Pavilion, XXYYXX, John Wayne, Andy C to name only a few.

In Montreal, he has become one of the most notorious and sought after sound selectas, frequenting the Bass Drive stage at Le Belmont alongside Vilify, co-hosting Le Belmont’s freshest monthly event Heads Up and guest hosting Jaime Le Dubstep radio on Dubstep.fm with Construct.

Now focusing on his new project Def Child, a blend of Purple Dub-Step, spaced out Trap and a verity of smooth Bass Music. Keep and eye out for his break out EP in 2013 and a whole new live production show coming to an event near you.

To call him versatile would be an understatement, you can guarantee he will have even the haters nodding their heads.
