Evan Marc

Following on from 2011’s joyful techno-orientated album UP, System 7 hit the spot with their new Passion EP – showing that in 2012 they remain on top of their game with their unique blend of trance and techno.

The fourth and closing track is a more chilled tech-house remix of “Chihiro 61298” from System 7’s ‘Phoenix’ album – remixed by Evan Marc (aka Bluetech) who has a huge reputation on the chillout scene and with whom Steve has made numerous collaborations. The Evan Marc Remix layers traditional ambient japanese tones over a searing piece of tech funk.

Seattle&rsquo;s Innerflight Music serve up the Miconia EP, another top notch release featuring returning label confidant Evan Marc. Under his well known guise Bluetech, Marc has toured the world over, traveling throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and released material on such labels as Native State and Interchill Records. Intertwining elements from the psychedelic as well as the experimental / IDM communities, Marc&rsquo;s work under his Bluetech pseudonym has been described as both as &lsquo;psytelligent&rsquo; dance music and &lsquo;spacehop.&rsquo; Evan Marc&rsquo;s output under his given name is techier and more dance floor oriented, but still retaining the lush and melodic elements of his more recognized project. The Miconia EP features three original offerings from Marc as well as a superb remix from Canadian-born, Berlin-based tech-house DJ and producer Noah Pred (Thoughtless Music, Cynosure). With this new release Marc takes a straightforward, club-centric approach laying further on the techno end of the spectrum than his previous works. &ldquo;Miconia&rdquo; is a technical, layered production that sets the tone for the rest of the EP with its ominous synths, tinkering percussion, and quick breaks. Much like its predecessor, &ldquo;Spectabilis&rdquo; moves forward at a quick clip. Cantankerous, streamlined clicks and clacks fill the subtle space between a buzzing synth line and eerie chord progressions that add to the minimal techno aesthetic, while &ldquo;Dormant&rdquo; takes on a slower, low-slung house persona with its rugged kicks and eclectic soundscapes. Also contained is an upbeat remix of the title track from Noah Pred, complete with wobbly tribal flurries and rich drum textures reminiscent of masterly fellow Germans M.A.N.D.Y. The Miconia EP features a subtle yet sophisticated range of sounds worth adding to any discerning music collection.
