This summer, Marc Antona introduces a brand new label: Dissonant. Marc turns his efforts to a new platform for solo productions and collaborations. Having honed his talents on records for Mobilee, Highgrade, Micro-Fibres (his former label) and more, Marc uses this first release as an occasion to show what he’s got: tight, percussive, spirit-full music that dives deep, without ever losing techno’s innovative lines and motorik intensity."Rootz” sets the tone with an agile, high-stepping groove full of bells and smooth but very effective drums; the sparkling high end contrasts with an almost overwhelming sub-bass throb. Marc shows his dexterity on the board as he subtly mixes in layer after percussive layer. Teasing in bright chords and a rushing breakbeat, he connects the musical traditions of Berlin, Paris and Chicago into a thrilling, urgent example of 21st century house music. “Enan Poen” is dark and seductive, and it plays a kind of acoustic sleight-of-hand, using just a handful of sounds to conjure expansive atmospheres. Carefully combining warm drums and transformed percussion, it’s a dense, trippy, pulsating sound pushed forward by muted stabs and a bassline that seems almost to moan. It’s a track full of shadows and hollows, of suggestive, almost-there sounds. “Malaga” looks towards sunny southern Spain for its title, and it delivers a similar vibe with springy chords and a bright, skittering high end full of sounds that chatter like palm fronds on a windy day. But there are storms sometimes on the horizon : between powerful low end and the hazy tones in the midrange, plus minor-key chords that flash out and are gone, there’s a more ambiguous, introspective element at work. It’s a wonderfully versatile track, perfect for dancefloor daydreaming and late-night awakenings.
