Markham Road Records is back steering steady with atch22, Count, Rizla Ops, and Teqmun in the driver seats. MR003 finds form as a quartet of percussion providing some real bang for your buck. This release was dreamt up for quick stepping activity, and the four tracks assembled provide a wide ranging toolkit to get us all moving. Although each artist provides a unique solution, movement was and remains the underlying idea behind this third release. 

Count’s “Hexagon” opens the project up with a spaced out ‘builder’ that seems to continuously fold in on itself. The track progresses through its 4 minute lifespan with natural and intuitive progression. With its sub heavy cadence “Hexagon” seeps through the speakers, and is sure to remain reliable when used under many circumstances. 

The second track of the release rebounds in as a ricochet rhythm from none other than London based RIZLA OPS. After receiving a demo titled “voo kah” we knew it was love at first sight… and the final iteration aptly named “Cortex” does not disappoint. When asked about the track RIZLA OPS shared “The triplet snare is locked in by a big roomy kick that squares it into that tool-y club space I notice my recent productions are exploring. Cortex finds its name in the buzzy bitcrushed bass that draws from ghosty drill, loose audio jack and ASMR machinery that buries itself in the cranium.” A steady mover with a circular undertone, it doesn’t take much to get moving when this track takes over the system. 

“sexta feira” finds itself on the borders of trance, dembow, and dubstep. Besides these initial patterning queues, atch22 also employs a variety of vocal stabs and modulation to keep the track moving. After a recent move to build a studio in Strahov Stadium (would definitely suggest looking this one up), atch22 has been back behind the monitors, with this track being the first product of his new musical home. The track defines itself in the world of peak time frequencies and fluctuates through a wide range of feelings. Truly something in it for everyone. 

MR003’s concluding track takes sonic blistering to a whole new level. Teqmun’s masterclass in unrelenting percussion continues to capture our hearts, and surge through our speakers. “Stop Scanning the Zebras” is a fast paced tech heavy track centered by vocals from the producer himself. “I imagined being so out of your mind that you can't stop trying to scan zebra's like barcodes with a scanner”. This track is easy to get lost inside of and therefore evokes some sort of free fall -> an exercise in letting go for eager ears in dimly lit spaces.
