The MR10 is an unassuming powerhouse of a rhythm machine. Sounding something like a more tune-able 808 crossed with a CR-78, it feels like an overlooking missing link in the canon of analog drum machines. Familiar yet still in a class of its own, and almost totally untapped by producers.

MR10 From Mars

In the ever-expanding search for good electronic belters, we went into building a bridge between two continents responsible for so many good artists in the last few decades, with some of them being true legends of the house sound. From Detroit to Napoli and Marseille. From Zurich and Bari to Chicago. Ladies and gentlemen, this is 'Bridges: An American - European Dance Connection'

What better way to open the various release than with Chicago's immortal Boo Williams. 'Real Time' is a power tool bearing Boo's known sound signature with dance floor rhythmics and some creamy melodies throughout the track.

Rick The Godson Wilhite's & Jon Easley's A2 'Mental Feelings' brings those irresistible Detroit pads layered over subtle bassline and occasional percussions. Although the track keeps a constant course, it is still multi-layered and emotion-provoking.

Blooming synth pieces played over dry drums and with good momentum is just what you would expect from another of Chicago's finest - Gene Hunt. His B1 'Space Relm' delivers a fast-paced flow with beautiful and crafty breaks in between.

B2 'Escape Two', the '90s sound tour de force. Dan Piu manages to capture the pure ambience of that era in this multi-styled late-night belter. From baseline to synths, the track is constantly progressing
and shifting through dark and moody segments. Good stuff.

If we wouldn't know better, C1 'Tribute To The Sound' would probably be acknowledged as a work of some Detroit head, but no. This beautiful tune is a work of Marseille-based Life Recorder. Truly specific Detroit House vibe in this one. Ironically, perfect puzzle for the Bridges release.

Tribal atmospheric dirtiness on C2 'The Deep(5 am)' signed by Bari's Nu-Cleo sounds pretty simple on the outside, but at its core, it carries a strong bond between bassline, rhythm and pads. Swimming into summer sunset the track is filled with gold deepness and organic hits.

D1 'Surface' by Nemanja Krstic is a perfect warmer for any occasion. Late afternoon or early morning you name it. What gives this track a special vibe is its unfiltered raw sound which forms a beautiful fusion with deep sequences. The beach is calling. 

D2 "P.C.M. (Parthenope City Music)" is a pure definition of a catchy loop segment. The soulful guitar segment is soon joined with a dancefloor bassline and lush hats only to be pushed into playful intermission picking up the speed and once more pulling it back into that sweet segment. Enchanting tune by The Mechanical Man!
