Release Text: 
Coming through as a producer in the early 2000s, 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. 
‘100 Percents’ dreamy, delayed vocals and classic House riffs are simply joyous.

Scopic Records - a new UK label which aims to "bring newcomers and artists with backgrounds, regardless of their background or gender" - launches with a single by its founder New Digital Fidelity in collaboration with singer Monet. We get three nicely different mixes of 'Getting Colder' in all. The A-side is taken up by the club mix, a classic New York deep house groove with chunky pianos chords and Monet's confident vocal performance. The flip begins with the original, a slower version but still effortlessly groovy, bringing its soul, jazz, and R&B influences to the fore. US techno's man of the moment Byron the Aquarius completes the set by turning the track inside out with shuffling hats, snapping machinefunk snares and a bubbling bass, making it even more impressive by exposing its moving parts and giving them a neat polish.

Me Me Me label boss Man Power changed the entire release schedule in order to fit in this new EP from Austin Ato. He signed it in the space of a few hours from first hearing it and says, “it’s like a quadruple A Side release, and I personally find it impossible to pick a favourite.” 
 
Ato is Scotsman Colin Bailey, an artist with many different projects and sounds under his belt, from Drums of Death to The Slumberjack. He’s released as Ato on labels like Futureboogie and Phonica White, mixing up afro, dub and jazz elements with his own fresh but well informed disco sound. Gilles Peterson, Laurent Garnier, Artwork and Bonobo have all been fans and he’s sure to have plenty more to come this year after this already essential EP.  
 Terrific opener ‘He Can Ride’ is a tantalising track with bright melodies and a cosmic synth sequence that carries you away into the sky. The drums below make for an inviting groove and the whole thing is finished off with a well treated and twisted vocal sample that the keen eared will know comes from an absolute classic. Just as effective is the brilliant ‘Dah Dah Dah,’ six sizzling minutes of jazz-funk keys, sunny trumpets and loose, organic and live sounding disco drums. It’s perfectly warm and breezy and sure to get the hands of any ‘floor in the air.  
 On the flip, ‘Maelstrom’ is a flurry of jacking drums and squelchy synth stabs. It's got Chicago in its bones and brims and bristles with a raw but charming energy that is designed to make a huge impact. Last but not least, ‘Ben’s Groove’ channels plenty of loopy Moodymann vibes with its funky guitar riffs and heart swelling chords. A true burst of sunshine is packed into this anthem in the making as it rolls and rolls and never lets up, allowing the good times to carry on forever with more smart vocal samples adding fuel to the fire.  
 As Man Power says, this is a super strong EP jam-packed with four slabs of real dance floor heat.
