Originally released in 1999 on Kog Transmssions in NZ, and then worldwide via Universal Jazz in 2000, this was MdCL's first major international release. Presenting a new voice on the global crossover jazz scene, Six Degrees showcased Mark's first time integrating sample and beat technology with his keyboards and compositions. The singles Brazilian and UK jazz-dance inspired "El Dia Perfecto" and the Cherie Mathieson featuring "Day by Day" introduced Mark to a whole world of DJs and forward thinking music heads and Six Degrees remains a classic to this day.
