Guydee - Svet (Melchior Sultana Remix) [Minor Notes Recordings] [MI4L.com]

Coming through as a producer in the early 2000's, nothing much seemed normal. The whirlwind of 90s dance music innovation had given way to a lack of focus, with increasingly innovative and accessible technology making the sounds heard on dancefloors more eclectic but at the same time the parties had started to feel less inspired, as if it were too hard to keep hold of the magic that had swirled around us for the last 10 years.

Against this backdrop, Mark Hawkins immediately stood out by how grounded he was compared to most of the space cadets floundering with their musical calling. Watching one of his staggeringly raw live sets, ripping up the floor with a combination of jacking Chicago house and bare bones techno was to see a pragmatic idealist carving out a unique space, unashamed to reference his inspirations with humour and bombast.

It was perhaps inevitable that Mark’s boundless spirit would see him push through the barriers of the UK’s more experimental audiences to gain greater presence with his entrance to a more underground House sound. Releases followed on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and Clone before arriving on Houndstooth, blending House and Techno in a way that reached for the sky even while their roots were clearly planted firmly in the ground. Whilst always tough-as-painted-nails, the music progressed from being identifiable through its keen rawness to displaying increasing sophistication.

During a lost year that’s been anything but normal, it’s no surprise that Mark has dug deeper, gathering his influences and ideals into a more experimental, yet relevant and cohesive whole. The Twelve tracks on this new album represent a blossoming of Mark’s creativity; freed from the constraints of immediate dance-floor delivery they explore new territory, rampaging over a landscape of electro-funk, body-rocking house, experimental electronica, euphoric pop, and reflective chill out all underpinned by his accomplished melodic sensibility.

Lead single from the album from the old ways and into the new is ‘Let It Slide’, his second collaboration with Jamie Lidell (following 2018’s “We Should Be Free”) that tears up the rulebook. Beat’s stumble and stutter, resolving in angular B-boy grooves while the bass line sounds like it’s being slapped out by a P Funk-addicted robotic jackhammer. In its sheer disregard for musical conventions, it reprises Lidell’s previous work with Cristian Vogel in their genre-destroying freakbeat combo, Super Collider, and perfectly sums up an album that challenges what ‘normal’ from now on should be.

‘100 Percents’ dreamy, delayed vocals and classic House riffs are simply joyous.

@mark-hawkins is a real favourite producer round the LV offices. With a long background in electronic music you may have come across his work as Black Ops, The Spider or Marquis Hawkes. He is now back using his birthname and is just about to release a rather fantastic album via @houndstoothlbl titled 'The New Normal'. 

Covering everything from deep and throbbing electronica to radio destined deep house alongside classic house groove it's another masterclass of production from Mark.

Mathew Ferness - My Life In Delay EP
GLBDOM - GDEP016
24 Dec 2021

Tracks:
1. Kimchi&Bacon
2. Tomorrows Kids
3. Sunday Rain
4. Sunday Rain (Sune Remix)

GLBDOM’s next release comes from the gifted Canadian producer Mathew Ferness with 'My Life In Delay' EP, which delivers three low-key, melodic, yet highly stimulating, Deep House cuts.
Across the EP, Ferness straddles the line between emotive and cerebral dance music. The result is a deeply rich and gorgeously lush set of tracks, one that seems poured over in its detail, but also highly idiosyncratic and explorative in its execution. 
A remix by the one and only Sune is like the cherry on top here. 


All tracks written and produced by Mathew Ferness @the-ferness
Remix by Sune @emilsunesson
Mastered by Classonix @classonix

Sheffields @momentcinetique and Glasgow's @tiptoesmusic1 have both very much found their way into the heart of Le Vistieur online in 2020. Both label and artist are on a spectacular run of releases. Tiptoes last outings 'Steamboats' and 'Let's Go' on his own Tiptoes Tapes labels have been firm fixtures on the LV HQ decks whilst all five of Moment Cinetique's releases this year have been packed with class. Their previous release Sweet Fruity Brunch's Disco Spider is one of our tracks of the year for sure. 

It's great to see them reunited here as Tiptoes turns in a spectacular remix of @tommyvicarijnr's 'U Move Me' packed with classic house verve.

Mark Hawkins is a studio based musical artist with a career spanning more than 25 years.

Cutting his teeth in the UK underground party scene throughout the 90s, he has built an extensive body of work collaborating with a wide variety of record labels and artists, in numerous styles of electronic music under many different aliases, including his given name.

After two and a half decades of performing both as a live electronic act, and as a DJ, at many events around the world, which had included many of the most well known clubs and festivals, he decided to narrow his focus down to his main passion of writing, producing and engineering music in his Berlin studio, working on both his own material, and as a sonic “gun for hire”, assisting other artists in achieving their own aspirations in the studio environment.

Mark is a reclusive character who is more interested in sculpting sound, and searching for the perfect beat than promoting his own work, and as such declines to participate in the social media world which dominates contemporary culture.

Preferring to immerse himself in the world of audio manipulation, he has become a go-to studio engineer amongst those in the know, who want their own sound to take on a more professional sheen, or even a more retrospective aesthetic that relates to music from days gone by. 

But this has in no way slowed down his own output of material, in fact, without the distraction of unwanted self promotion or touring, he has been able to place an increased emphasis on crafting exactly the kind of music he wants to create for himself.

Looking ahead, Hawkins will continue to forge his own path via his artistry, blending styles and blurring the boundaries between genres, and will inevitably in the process discover and create exciting new works.
