Ten years and twice as many records have come out since Public Release shared its inaugural 12-inch with the world, and it feels ﬁtting to mark the occasion of its twentieth with new work by a steady partner in crime, Mark E. The English Midlander, known as a peddler of classic house laced with the unexpected—sprinklings of frisky Italo and wiggly disco here, splatterings of taut techno and woozy dub there —made his P.R. debut with 2016’s steamy industrial chugger, Sky Horn, and has also been a frequent remixer for the Northern Californian label.

Mark E makes a rapid return after the hugely successful E-Versions series, we now embark E-Work. While E-Versions celebrated the full, dazzling shimmer of the Disco ball lit dancefloor, E-Work turns down the lights, and turns up the system for some pared down sonic sorcery. Emotive, muscular machine jams then, in Vocal and Instrumental versions.

Mark E – Emergency [ESP025]

February 5, 2015September 11, 2018 hipodromedisco, esp institute, house, mark e, mark evettsLeave a comment

Mark E with his first offering for the ESP Institute. ‘Laurentian Abyss’ undoubtedly conjures narrative images from the depths of a man’s soul, trudging through an array of rhythmic pulse, percussion and arpeggiation that resembles the inner workings of a grandfather clock, based on a disorienting 5/4 timing yet culminating in a singular stroke. On the flip side, the title track ‘Emergency’ begins with the formula for which we know Mark E best, the ultimate tease winding us up for the big payoff, yet here we’re forced into a cyclical trance which diverts our attention so effectively that we never actually receive what we’ve been waiting for, Mark’s elusive drop.
