Amateur Exotic is a magical Ashram and if you, having combined in the creative interaction of the seeker, sought after, as well as the search itself, have come here, so it was supposed to happen...At this moment you need to stop and look around... 

Here are kept the scriptures that are representing a collection of fire, matter,  and information...That manuscripts narrate about global, out-of-format musical vibrations and at the same time contain the infinite variety of mystical combinations and transcendental elements...With the help of this knowledge, by digital rituals, all participants destroy the evil spirits of the urban with the sharks of the commercial industry and also perform pujas for the benefit of all living beings...

Прием! Amateur Exotic - это волшебный Ашрам и если вы, объединив в творческом взаимодействии ищущего, искомое, а так же само искание попали сюда, то, значит так и должно было случиться...В этот момент нужно остановиться и осмотреться вокруг...

Здесь хранятся писания представляющие собой совокупность огня, материи и информации...Манускрипты повествуют о глобальных, вне форматных музыкальных вибрациях и одновременно с этим содержат в себе безконечное многообразие мистических комбинаций и трансцендентальных элементов...При помощи этих знаний, путём цифровых обрядов все участники уничтожают злые духи урбана вместе с акулами коммерческой индустрии, а так же, совершают пуджи на благо всех живых существ...

In a pinch, if forced to employ adjectives to describe the Mark E. Quark style, one would come up with words like “groovy, laid back and nasty” house music. But putting grammar aside, it’s reasonable to just say that Quark has internalized influences from DJ Harvey, Idjut Boys, Jeno, and Andrew Weatherall, mashed them up, and given life to a signature style and a creature which is totally unique. This creature is currently brought to life for public consumption  at Moonshake in San Diego.
