Producer
London, UK
Mark “Flood” Ellis has been one of the world’s most celebrated music producers for more than forty years. Sounds have come and gone, tastes have changed, but the London-born Ellis has proven endlessly adaptable over the years. He made his pseudo-name splashing around the fertile waters after punk, working with some of the leading industrial and post-punk bands of the 1980’s. The years since have seen Flood moving between styles and genres working with New Order, U2, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Sneaker Pimps, Ministry, The Charlatans, Erasure, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Foals, Sigur Rós, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Smashing Pumpkins, The Killers and loads more.
His co-production collaborations have included projects with Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, and longtime collaborator Alan Moulder, with whom he co-founded the Assault & Battery Studios Complex. In 2006, his work with U2 led to his sharing the Grammy Award for Album of the Year for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
