the still fresh label foul & sunk is about to release their fifth ep, and still not an year old! this time ist is the debut single from oldschool-house affictionado borrowed identity. though still young, you could easily believe that he was there since the beginning, producing a fusion of detroit- and chicago- style house with his own up-to-date flavour. and he got the fantastic mark e to finish the aside of this 4-track record with a remix

the last of public releases single-digit records is the first from the british west midlands most famous dj and producer, mark e. this shouldnt come as a surprise. if anything, the fact it didnt happen earlier should, mark appeared as a remixer on jeffrey brodskys 2014 public release ep, which has earned him the status of esteemed member of the outfits inner circle and prime candidate for an extended play of his own.

mark e last delivered on futureboogie back in november 2014, so it’s a welcome return to the label for the birmingham based dj & producer. with his merc imprint running on full steam, and previous releases on revered labels like spectral sound and running back, mark is becoming an ever dependent exponent of the real and raw house music vibe, and no more so than on the basement trax ep. basement trax 1, distorted synths wander over a low-slung beat, the marching hi-hats and filter work are tweaked to perfection. it’s a track of basic elements, but done so well, the arrangement building steadily and bags of warmth and soul deep at the heart of this track. the gnarly bass and classic string sounds of basement trax 2 make an ideal companion piece to the a side. delivered in the finest wild-pitch tradition, the raw sounding production packs a punch as the stomping drums and repetitive keys ramp up the heat for a real blazer of an underground club cut.

mark e s incredible re-edit of janet jacksons r & b junkie track was around in super limited quantities last year and never made it out on export from the us & uk as all copies sold out instantly. marks acclaimed releases on the jisco music & running backlabels have had everyone from giles peterson to moodymann going nuts for his trademark extended and dubbed out takes on classic disco and dancefloor cuts. a seriously in demand record & another all ears sureshot ! repress 2015

mark e has a vivid imagination and everybody knows it. this is his first offering for the esp institute.

mark e presents a late-year surprise with avion ep. featuring two new tracks from the producer plus remixes.

as the autumnal nights draw in, futureboogie show off a slightly darker edge to their ever expanding roster of artists, welcoming re-edit king mark e to the fold. the birmingham based dj and producer has risen steadily through the musical ranks over the last few years, cropping up on a multitude of top drawer labels like sonar kollectiv, running back, golf channel, his own merc imprint, and most recently a brace of albums for the us label spectral sound (home to matthew dear, osborne et al). title track, *activity* chugs at a house music pace but with plenty of techno swagger, bridging the gap between the two genres with ease. a simple and minimal beat is doused in a pacey acid bassline riff that is constantly morphing and transposing, layers of synths join in the infectious melody whilst soaring pads rise up with all the familiarity of a detroit techno classic.

two more unreleased edits emerge from mark es merc label e-versions series. magazine turns a classic madge moment into an expertly extended, peak-time banger - cleverly weaving an altogether more psychedelic workout from those familiar ingredients. while xam on the flip is a monumental & melodic dancer of the highest calibre. merc to the future!

southern california producer jeffrey brodskys *i ll be strong* is the latest ep to appear on san francisco based label public release. its comprised of four tracks, with brodskys original joined by three wide ranging remixes, which complement its energetic feeling with deeper material aimed at late nights and early mornings.

location 141? location unknown? although one would hazard a guess at somewhere in the ether between chicago and detroit (that is, of course, if we didnt know any better). this mysterious créature de la nuit sits comfortably between the two places of influence and bends them into his own style to herald rogue cat sounds first emergence of 2014 and, in doing so, unfurls two killer, bumpin and weighty jams for the discernable discoid freaks in all of us.

producer mark e hails from the west midlands, an area of the uk that was at the heart of the industrial revolution and was also hit hardest by the decline of uk industry in the 1970s, and again by the economic crisis of our own time. its an area with a distinct sound and atmosphere, one that manifests in the music of artists as diverse as black sabbath and the specials, and one that plays into many of the ideas behind mark es new record product of industry.

ma spaventi, a roman, now based in amsterdam, has been around for a minute, his trio r-a-g (with aroy dee and gijs poortman, a.k.a. gstring) has been recording refined, classicist house and techno on an all-analog kit since 2010. marked by tough drums, swirling pads, and a willingness to veer into pure, beatless ambient territory, their records are formally purist without scrimping on a sense of mystery. spaventis solo work so far has suggested that he may be the tough guy of the bunch.

running back veteran mark e returns with a tribute to the uks black country and an ode to the industrial revolution. the images and histories of coal mines, steel mills and iron foundries north and west of birmingham and south and east of wolverhampton lay the foundation of the three track ep (including a work break siren). being a product of his environment, mark e delivers lots of sooty particle house music with a glimpse of sunshine. bostin!

mark e is back with a vengeance with a couple of absolute crackers and artwork this time comes from the consistently witty and surreal mind of our pal mr. ian stevenson.

the debut ep from sonns (la based producer alexandre mouracade of split secs) is a soulful vocal dance track with hypnotic vocals and funky bass. mark e does a deep steel drum driven interpretation. b/w the party track starts tonight (vocal & dub mixes) sure to get the floor moving.

bokhari records is a vinyl only label. bokhari has been inspired by mo wax of old, and firecracker of present where care was/is also taken on packaging and design. each release will feature a different illustrator / artist for the design. musically we will aim to stick loosely within the realms of house and techno, but often with our own slant on it, and as the first release shows, in this case will include some afro percussion and a touch of acid. bokhari 001 only 300 copies will be pressed. artwork for release 001 is by the excellent illustrator andy potts (former head of design at abbey road studios), and every single vinyl will be signed and numbered. remix comes from the ever consistent mark e, who has taken the shrunken head bassline and made a 10 minute druggy, chuggy, loopy, creepy monster (and anything else you want with a ‘y’ at the end!)

merc 009 sees another mark e 2 tracker with snow walker & environment. snow walker combines an uptempo relentless percussive hard nosed rolling drum rhythm, running parallel with shimmering disco lights, synth blobs and a messed up yeti vocal nag, nestling comfortably somewhere between the black country and the black forest. environment however pushes itself all deepness and glory with electronic female vox, looping sub bass boogie and a slow sasquatch techno sensibility.

the magic of classic house music has always lain in the way it finds a soul in the machine, eking warm organic sounds from cold circuitry. and tracks dont come much warmer or more organic than >oranges<, a glorious eight-minute slow-burner thats the second single from wolverhampton producer mark es 2011 release stone breaker. >oranges< is a track that demonstrates how the simplest of ingredients — a quietly insistent four-to-the-floor rhythm, an understated bassline, synth pads that sound like the first intimations of a balearic sunrise — can combine to create something remarkable. anyone who has got the cd/digital release of stone breaker, of course, will know this already — but this release is the first chance to own this track on vinyl, as it was absent from the albums lp release. on the flipside is a remix of >oranges< by mark e himself: the appropriately-named space dub, a lindstrøm-esque reworking that transports the track from the dance floor to some distant orbit, drifting through space on a wash of lambent fuzz-toned synths. as different as they are, both tracks share a sense of both space and intimacy, a mellow charm that is evocative and inclusive. a soul in the machine.

next seven music by volta cab incl. amazing mark e remix. ric mcclelland & sean grieves seven music imprint is back once again. hot on the heels of their last release with robotalco and cottam. this time seven music presents an all together different flavour courtesy of russias volta cab and englands mark e. with previous releases on labels such as solar disco, apersonal and serenades, volta cab is a new and exciting breed of >dance< music producer. pulling inspiration in equal amounts from the past aswell as the future he is one of the few producers now that effortlessly traverses the sub-genres of house, dubstep, disco and downtempo. on remix duties we are extremely proud to bring you merc main man, mark e! your continued love & support is always appreciated!

psych-y, droning disco aces from birminghams free school duo, backed with mark e and nutaike remixes. coming from a similar angle as caribou or four tet, >unravelling after the lottery< layers droning, almost noisy synths over bass-loaded kicks in a trippy cosmic disco miasmah sure to shock the dance.
mark es remix tames the drones for a more heads-down, molasses jacker arranged with his hypnotic evolutions.

there is hardly any other track so closely connected to sven väths twelfth ibiza season, like adonis by alex ridha aka boys noize. with his fusion of energy disco with massive percussions and chicago memories, adonis fitted just perfectly to the intensive late summer we had. but theres still more to come, and so cocoon recordings are offering no less than five congenial versions: on the vinyl edition we find, besides the original version, the first remix of stone breaker mark e, dj and producer from birmingham who recently had the honour to do an album on the well-respected us label spectral sound. he skilfully transfers adonis into a hypnotic house opus with a recognisable detroit pinch.

great mark e mixes of a new track by brazilian fusion/ jazz deities azymuth. side a is the west-midlands dj producer mark e’s full length mix that stretches out over 10 and a half gloriously produced chill-wave minutes. mark e brings this natural progression mix to late-night dance floor life drawing upon his wide-ranging influences – rave, early chicago house, industrial house & disco – to produce his quintessential steady-beat rolling loops. the free groove of azymuth combines perfectly with the steady-beat darkness of its re-creator as the hypnotic synths layer upon heavy percussive beats & interspersing breathless mengo vocals. side b is for the clubs, the djs and the heads. two mixes that bring the beats to the fore as the pounding bass surges faster and harder on these dub and beat journeys. limited to 500 copies!

mark es >call me< finally gets released via merc this september. ever since its appearance on the mark e beats in space mix nearly a year ago it has remained a must have track and appeared in faiths top 10 tracks of 2010 without seeing the light of day. staying true to an original >house< aesthetic, call me merges a relentless bass line with soaring strings and an organ build de lacey would be proud of, combined with a spoken female vocal this is destined to be a future classic. dixon and tensnake appear for remix duties, dixon turns out a sublime re-work, tightening the feel in true innervisions fashion, whilst tensnake creates a genre defining remix that turns the track on its head and introduces 2 step garage attitude. mark e + dixon + tensnake = huge 12inch !
