Mark Doyle (as well as several other employees and illustrator Jason Brooks) left the house music label Hed Kandi mid-2005 to start a new label - Tokyo Project. Their first CD, Tokyo Project: The Collection, was released in late 2005. However, fees resulting from a legal dispute with Hed Kandi forced Tokyo Project to close.
Mark then set up the Fierce Angel label and released their first CD, Tokyo Disco, in early 2006. Subsequent releases have dropped the Tokyo reference altogether.
Fierce Angel have also begun to set up residencies with some nightclubs in the United Kingdom, as well as some summer presence in Ibiza. Currently Fierce Angel hold events in over 20 clubs in the UK and 10 overseas including the United States, Amsterdam, Portugal, Colombia, Norway, Barcelona, Manila, Ibiza and many more.
[edit] Releases
Similar to Mark's releases when with Hed Kandi, the CD compilations are mostly divided into genres with some crossover. All releases contain 3 discs except Digital Angel 2006, which contains 2 discs of music while not being a physical CD release, and A Little Fierce, which contains 1 disc. Digital Angel 2006, Es Vive and A Little Fierce are mixed, while the other releases are unmixed.
[edit] Tokyo Disco/Fierce Disco
House, electronic and disco tracks. The first release inherited the Tokyo title from the defunct Tokyo Project as a way to "connect the dots" between the two companies.
[edit] Beach Angel
These tracks are often feelgood summery tracks, sometimes latin-based.
[edit] Es Vive Ibiza
Tracks relevant to different times of day in the Ibiza hotel Es Vive: poolside, evening, afterhours. Each CD is similar to the Beach Angel, Fierce Disco and Fierce Angel albums respectively. These albums are mixed.
[edit] Fierce Angel
The first disc is similar to Fierce Disco; disc 2 is similar to Twisted Disco from Hed Kandi, and disc 3 is a collection of house classics.
