4 Hero is a musical group consisting of Mark Clair & Dennis McFarlane, aka Mark Mac and Dego. They, and their label Reinforced Records, are renowned as pioneers and frontrunners in jungle and drum and bass, and the Mercury Music Prize nomination for their debut album Two Pages.

The main players in 4 Hero first came to prominence in the late 80s when they set up a Pirate radio station, the founding members of the group are Marc Clair, Dego McFarlane, Ian Bardouille and Gus Lawrence. After setting up the radio station the four then set up Reinforced Records to release their own productions as 4 Hero. The group became known in the rave community as early as 1990 for their hit Mr Kirk's Nightmare, and the conception of drum and bass was helped with a series of releases on Reinforced Records.
