Nark - Carl's K-Hole (Mike Simonetti Remix)

Mike Simonetti’s 2MR imprint welcome a genuine techno tour de force: Seattle’s Nark.

As the man behind some of the city’s most progressive, inclusive and famously fizzy parties such as Dickslap, his selector and party host stripes precede him. His productions will do soon, too. Here’s your proof… A debut eight track behemoth entitled ‘Empty Void’

Four originals, four remixes, Nark reveals his full spectrum right here: from the spatial oddity and calming trippiness of the title track to the alien swamp creatures of ‘Sunrise Climb’, a track created from a collection of nature field recordings, via the poisonous 303 of ‘Acid Night Cap’ and the zoning tubular hypnotiser ‘Carl’s K Hole’, this is the sound of a man who doesn’t just understand dancefloors through years of playing to them… But knows how to push them to the edge and bring them back from the brink, too.

Naturally the remixes are equally forthright and boundary-blurring. Ex-Azari & III’s Ali X and his partner in technoid crime Ximena twist up ‘Empty Void’ into a broken beat rattler, Portland provocateur The Prey has us writhing amid the Roland muck on ‘Acid Night Cap’ while Octo Octa has us all gliding with her precision percussive twist to ‘Sunrise Climb’. Finally the label bossman Simonetti gets involved in the action with a cosmically minded take on ‘Carl’s K-Hole’, bringing Sagan’s sample to outer-planetary new levels.

Welcome to the void… There’s no turning back now.

Nark - Do You See Yourself? EP
Release date : 30th October 2019
Label : Bottom Forty Records 
https://soundcloud.com/bottomforty
https://soundcloud.com/nark

Bottom Forty Records boss Nark returns to his Seattle based label with two tantalizing tracks including remixes from Calypso boss Thomass Jackson and Ali X and Palomo.
Nark, aka Kevin Kauer, has headed up the Bottom Forty imprint since 2017 working with artists such as Doc Sleep, La Fracheur & Léonard de Léonard, Ali X, Ximena, Alisu and Shit whilst maintaining the philosophy oflaying down tripped-out, eccentric productions without conformity. Inspired as a young gamer and fueled by the inspirations of travel and gigs today, Nark has cultivated a set of sounds and ideas that have come together to form his creations today which include releases on labels such as Nein Records, 2MR and Bottom Forty in addition to remixes on Soul Clap, Friends with Benefits and Love Story. ‘Do You See Yourself’ sees Nark invite Mexico’s Thomass Jackson who holds releases on Feines Tier, Gomma and his Calypso Records imprint in addition to Ali X and Palomo.
Title track ‘Do You See Yourself?’ lays the foundations for the EP delivering entrancing modulations, chuggy rhythms and eerie vocals taking small stabs at vanity culture, while ‘The Playing Field’ seethes rattling percussion, acid fueled synths and hypnotic chanting alleviating the senses. The Playing Field’ was inspired by a long night out listening to Optimo DJ in a dark warehouse and it was made later that morning as something to fit into a long, building and cathartic set.
On the flip, Thomass Jackson’s remix of ‘Do You See Yourself?’ maintains the stirring style deploying stabbing bass notes, meandering waves and undulating unearthly atmospheres until Ali X x Palomo round things off with an infectious remix fusing shaky, 808 drums, effervescent grooves and bright 303 flavours throughout.

Do You See Yourself (incl. Thomass Jackson and Ali X and Palomo Remix)

For his latest EP, the label boss returns to his own imprint with the aim to maintain the philosophy of laying down tripped-out, eccentric productions without conformity. The title track “Do you see yourself” carries this philosophy at its core delivering entrancing modulation, with chubby rhythms and vocals that summons us to the darkroom, where this track resides.
