Arcon 2, also known Leon Mar (born as Noel Ram) is a musician best known for his alternative jazz, drum and bass and darkcore music. Mar has been producing dance tracks since 1996. He found his beginning in the jungle community (though his roots lay firmly in hardcore). Mar rode a fast track to notoriety through a string of acclaimed releases for 4Hero's noted Reinforced label, recording such tracks as "Liquid Earth," "Silent Running," and "The Beckoning" under his own name and as Arcon 2. Leon was also included on the tough-as-nails Reinforced compilation, Above the Law next to such noted artists as Goldie, L Double, and Dillinja. Although Mar's earlier Reinforced material, as well as a scattering of tracks and remixes for Echo Drop and Selector mined a softer, more fusion-fueled vibe, Leon's work since "The Beckoning" (also Reinforced's first CD-EP) has leaned toward Dark N' Hard, with thick, warbling bass set against snapping breaks and ominous atmospheres.
