For all the wonderfully subtle shell-breaking he did on his full-length, Mark E falls back on old, slow habits for his new single, “The Day.” And welcomely, we might add. Pitching things down to a basement lounge floor crawl, the Midlands DJ/producer wraps his always chugging kicks and snares in serpentine synth-bass, jazzy, tripleted hi-hats, and moaning, wordless soul vocals. Its grasp is tantric—hinting coyly at ecstatic release, but never fully delivering. For the vinyl junkies that bought STONE BREAKER and missed out on it the first time around (it was absent from that version), this release should be a no brainer.

And the oft imitated, never replicated Prins Thomas shows up on the flip for a (naturally) eleven-minute revamp of “The Day,” livening up the bass and drum patterns, adding in strings, piano, guitar, organ, and ending up with something that totally could have emanated from a Camaro at some point in the early seventies. (Albeit, one owned by someone with interest in eleven-minute instrumentals.) It even has a fade out!

Mark E - The Day (Prins Thomas Remix)

Glasgow born David Harkness, aka DaVOLD, has been spinning tunes since the acid house explosion of ‘88 and the smiley face influence still lives on throughout his audio selection. Covering various styles ranging from ambient eclectic melodies through soulful vocal house to deeper funkier dirty breaks, beats and groovy techno, DaVOLD’s years of experience seep through his sounds which will pull your mind, body and soul on to that dancefloor!!!

Coming from a background of being part of the infamous Quanta parties in Glasgow from the early 2000’s, DaVOLD has made regular appearances in Spain’s Andalucia region at the successful Colores, La Linea 54 & Tutti Frutti nights.

Now based in Malta, you can catch DaVOLD at various events around the beautiful mediterranean island including Pure Love and Sonido Sessions along with his own brand new venture BLISS which incorporates a tantalising blend of DJ’s and musicians bringing live strings and percussion into the mix.
