Osymyso (real name Mark Nicholson) is a musician and DJ from the United Kingdom who specializes in the genres of bastard pop and breakbeat. He has been making music since 1994, but he released his first album, Welcome to the Pailindrome, in 1999. Songs which he has created include "Pat n Peg", which manages to turn an argument between two Eastenders characters into a track through the looping of the shouts You bitch! and You cow! and the addition of a hip hop beat , and "Intro-Inspection", which brought the genre of bastard pop to its logical extreme. In a 2002 front page survey of the genre, The New York Times remarked on "Intro-Inspection" and called Osymyso "one of the most popular bootleg artists".
