Mark E has been famous for his disco edits and swinging house sounds, but has yet to release his first full length album. That’s where Stone Breaker comes in. Although it’s a bit moodier than what I had anticipated, there is still plenty of warm, well-produced house grooves to keep your show going. Expect sounds similar to Erdbeerschnitzel, Tensnake, and DJ Harvey. FCC: Clean Try: 7, 9, 8, 6, 2 1) 7:17 Crunchy drums, fragments of a synth line. Pounding staccato keys and chopped-up vocals. 2) 5:00 * Slow, swinging. Simple walking bassline, atmospheric synths towards the end. 3) 7:22 Booming, robotic. Bass rolling along just fine, hi-hats pick up the pace. Mumbling vocoders. Outro is somewhat acidy. 4) 4:28 Softer, more mellow. Retro ambient synth lines. 5) 10:28 Slowly builds up a percussion and vocoder-driven house groove. Deep, longing synth surfaces. 6) 4:59 * Organic sound. Subtle keys flail back and forth. 7) 8:12 ** Darker, more mysterious sound. Simple two-note synth line, builds intensity. 8) 8:23 * Dark, techy. Synth pads loosen things up a bit, and a clonky synth line helps, too. 9) 7:29 * Soft, discoish. Groaning female vocal samples and a cool bass line. | ||
