Mark Rankin (born 13 August 1974) is a Grammy winning British recording and mix engineer.

He began his recording career as house engineer at The Exchange studios in 2004. Primarily a mastering facility, Mark created a high end vintage recording studio based upon the same principles of the mastering rooms - point to point signal paths, direct connections and hifi results all in one room with no separate control room.

By learning his craft in such an unforgiving environment, Mark became an accomplished recording engineer in a relatively short space of time as his client list is testament to. He is not only well versed in traditional methods of recording and the use of vintage analogue equipment, but is highly proficient in cutting edge techniques.

Mark won the 2010 Music Producers Guild ‘Breakthrough Engineer’ Award and Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year Awards at the 2012 54th Grammy Awards.

He has worked alongside Paul Epworth on many projects, most notably, the Grammy winning album 21 from Adele, Grammy nominated album ‘Torches’ by Foster The People and the Grammy nominated album Ceremonials by Florence and The Machine

Mark has recently mixed debut albums for Willy Moon and Aluna George and has just completed recording and mixing the much anticipated sixth studio album from Queens Of The Stone Age, ...Like Clockwork
