played by luciano, lauhaus, kabale & liebe and many more. its about time! with >channel by channel< markus homm presents his first solo ep on highgrade. until now, this cosmopolitan citizen of the world, who shares his time between hong-kong, moscow, london and nuremberg – has been part of the successful collaboration: homm & popoviciu. one vinyl ep and three digital releases have already made a strong impression with the highgrade faithful. with this ep and its four groovey house tracks, markus homm signals the springtime. the title track >channel by channel< already foreshadows where this journey will end: fleet footed rhythms meet sweet chords and result in a sunny house groover that immediately kills the winter blues >torn< on the flipside is also built around an irresistible melody, while >xpander< (b2) gets things moving a little faster towards the end. proving again, how skillfully markus homm can create a deep groove from his handpicked melodic elements. it doesnt need much imagination to understand that these three classy tracks will bring their euphoric impact to every dancefloor they touch. thanks for letting the springtime roll, mr. homm!
