Last week I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Dev from Hype Machine Radio. The guys over at Hypem got in contact with me to talk mainly about the Drum and Bass coverage on Fried, which has been... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Since 2005, Birmingham producer Mark Evetts has built a career around looped grooves, a uniquely slow, disco-inflected house sound that's spawned a number of imitators in the process. Many of his productions were largely edit-based, breathing new, warped life into Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey samples to create new cult classics. A diverse range of labels have sought to call his tracks their own, releasing on Golf Channel, Sonar Kollektiv, Running Back, Endless Flight, and Jiscomusic, and compiled them on two compilations for his own MERC imprint. His debut album, Stone Breaker , however, finds that Evett's style has [...]

Encore are stepping into the limelight and are ready to unleash themselves into the UK market. Having toured with Jessie J and now touring with N-Dubz, they have received a great response from the UK crowd! We had a quick chat with them while they were on their way to their next destination of Margate. What’s the story behind Encore? How did you guys come about? Pierre: Well we knew eachother before and used to get together for writing session on a regular basis. It [...]

How good are the Swedish House Mafia hey? But enough silliness, let's get down to business. The most recent Redux release by White Elephant is doing it for me big time at the moment, especially the Mark E remix - although I'd recommend listening to it in the context of the original, it makes it that much more special. A beautiful acoustic foot-tapper with all sorts of gorgeous synths injecting colourful melodies and lofty pads for bedding. There's a cheese element but it's subtle and tasteful, just a little bit of brie [...]
Is there nothing that the all-round creative genius Mark Maggiori can't absolutely smash? Being French is the only thing we can find that works against him.

Am 16. Mai erscheint Mark Es Album "Stone Breaker" auf Detroits Spectral Sounds. Nach zwei CD-Compilations seiner Disco-Edits auf seinem eigenen Label ist es quasi das Debüt-Album des Slow-Motion-Housers aus Birmingham, auch wenn die Tracks auf "Stone Breaker" sich eher ungeplant zu seinem Album geformt haben. Dass Mark E nicht nur ein guter Produzent, sondern vor allem ein verdammt guter DJ ist, beweist sein "Stonebreakin'"-Mix. Anderthalb Stunden pure Deepness. Mark E Stonebreakin' Mix by warmhq

Back in November, Vibrations UK released an EP titled 'Escape', the three track was a bit of a slept on release for me personally. Produced by a man of increasing stature from Wolverhampton, of course I'm talking about Mark E . This track rolls through briskly with an excellent sample selection and a bass smooth enough to melt butter. Keep your ears out for Mark E's upcoming album Stone Breaker coming out on the 16/05/2011 thanks to Spectral Sound . Mark E - Escape [Buy]

If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane, If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane, If we weren't all crazy we would go insane - Jimmy Buffet Take off that hideous jacket, the only thing that's in this season is a state of mental disruption.

We are partial to a bit of the Mac at Love Machine , to put it mildly. Actually that’s probably understating it a bit. We bloody love the Mac - 3 incredibly talented singers, 3 incredibly talented songwriters, a gurning giant on drums and a bass player playing the most simple but brilliant parts whilst wearing a flat cap. Obvs the golden albums of Rumours and Tango in the Night were the best, but we also love the more experimental Tusk, home of possibly their finest moment: [...]

Two artists on heavy rotation for some time, here's Mark E 's exo-cool, stripped remix of Erdbeerschnitzel 's '4 Months', the first release on new deep-house label 3rd Strike , out last March. A real moody affair, chugging arpeggios and dreamy, spaced-out rolls. Erdbeerschnitzel - 4 Months (Mark E Remix) / BUY pic from somewhere i can't remember
This is all I have to say about Sunday - and I'm letting this song say it for me. Esp. the 2:34-2:50 mark. More on the state of T-Sides to come.
