Review: Mark E, the underground maestro with an illustrious career spanning nearly two decades, returns to Delusions Of Grandeur with his latest creation, the "Enchantment Under The Sea EP." This release showcases Mark Evetts' unmistakable touch, a sublime vision of US deep house that goes beyond the confines of the dance floor. The EP kicks off with the title track, "Enchantment Under The Sea," a sonic journey that lives up to its name. Born in the Black Country, Mark E weaves fluid, ocean-deep chords and electronic melodies around a backdrop of lo-fi drum machine beats and an undulating bassline. "Zone Tonight" follows suit, offering a similarly deep, melodious, and tactile experience. Atmospheric synth strings, hypnotic drums, starry pads, and a bubbly bassline come together to create a late-night cityscape driving track. "Vertigo" takes a jazzier and sunnier turn, guaranteed to bring smiles to faces. Mark E's masterful production shines through, creating a composition that effortlessly blurs the boundaries between lilting analogue synth-pop and wide-eyed deep house. The EP concludes with the stunning "Bodymap," where the tempo gently descends, featuring minimal yet expressive drum patterns, a touch of melancholic strings, and a pulsating bassline.

Review: After 13 months away, Brummie deep house don Mark Evetts returns with something rather special: a warm and woozy, analogue-rich Delusions of Grandeur label debut that arguably sees him in peak form. He first peppers a squelchy bassline and soft-touch drums with sweet melodic motifs and tactile synthesizer chords on 'Swimming Through a Diamond', before tipping a wink to his own hypnotic productions of old on the immersive and warming 'Compact Object'. There's a slightly jazzier and more organic feel to the sun-speckled deepness of 'Heartaches', while 'Leaning Into The Light' is marked out by gorgeous chords, bubbly electric piano lines and languid solos. Finally, 'Mirrored Cube' is a pleasingly saucer-eyed slab of mid-tempo goodness that sounds like it was tailor-made for sofa-bound listening sessions after a heavy night out.

Review: To celebrate the 12th birthday of their Compost Disco sub-label, Compost Records has offered up two compilations packed to the rafters with previously unheard treats and much-loved gems from the vaults. Volume one (available separately) is excellent and this second instalment is every bit as alluring. It begins with the bubbly, synth-laden nu-disco cheeriness of Moodrama's remix of Ed Lee and vocalist Alison David's 'I Am Someone' and ends with the loose-limbed krautrock/swamp funk/organic house fusion of Kalabrese's rework of 'Go Back' by Thomasz Guiddo and Nirosta Steel. Highlights sandwiched in between include the woozy, analogue-rich haze of Mark E's 'I'm Your Eversion', the late-night disco/proto-house hypnotism of 'Disco (Ah Ha)' by Chocolate Garage Productions and the Balearic boogie sunniness of Clavis's 'Aviaco'.

Review: Mark Evetts is nowhere near as prolific as he once was, but the Birmingham-based producer is still capable of crafting must-have releases. He's at it again here on his first outing for eccentric Swedish label Studio Barnhus. Opener "Nova Blur" sees Evetts' add warm chords and skewed electronic lead lines to his usual hypnotic deep house template, while closing cut "Outdoor Pursuit" is a surprisingly fuzzy, lo-fi and distorted stomp through dense drums and echoing percussion sounds. Perhaps most ear catching of all is the faintly foreboding "Find A Way", where echoing chords, creepy melodies and looped Irish fiddles attempt to smother a sturdy, locked-in groove, though the fuzzy, proto-house influenced "Block Out" is also rather fine.

Review: After some great tracks by the man on top labels Tief, Compost and his own Merc, here's some proper straight up deepness by the British producer Mark E on the 20th release by Public Release. Titled the Shelter EP, the West Midlands-based artist made his debut on the label back in 2016 with the Sky Horn EP, and has since been a frequent remixer for the Northern Californian label. Features the smoky late night dancefloor mystery of "Shake", the Theo Parrish/Three Chairs vibe of soulful slo-mo jam "M-54" and the lo-slung moody boogie-down drama of "Shinkansen".

Review: In recent times, Mark E seems to have been returning to his disco and Balearic roots, albeit whilst retaining the stretched-out deep house vibe with which he's most famous for. It's little surprise, then, to see him blending the sun-ripened goodness of the Mediterranean with his usual attention to groove on this double A-side delight for Lovefingers' formidable ESP Institute imprint. "Laurentian Abyss" is particularly enchanting, with muted steel drums and a touch of accordion offering a focal point for a jaunty, Latin-influenced house groove and dreamy pads. "Emergency" continues the rush-inducing feel of the A, with chiming melodies and starburst chords riding a thickset, synthesizer-heavy deep house rhythm.

Review: Founded by the Roots Unit duo of Piers "Soft Rocks" Harrison and Chris Galloway with the mission statement of formulating another way to lose money alongside their vinyl and alcohol habits, the inaugural Vibrations release will prove very successful in doing anything but that. Formed of two heavily pressurised dancefloor moments from Mark E and an additional remix from Roots Unit themselves, this twelve proves to be an auspicious debut indeed. "Escape" throbs with a compressed menace that the Merc impresario hinted at on his EP for Running Back. Ethereal vocal harmonies are slowly teased through the viscous mist of bassline frequencies before a heavy duty disco sample locks in and rides the groove out towards an shimmering finale. "Midnight Fares" flips the sonic script for a more spinal techno beatdown washed with phased vocal swirls and scattergun percussion that would make Four Tet jealous. Roots Unit end this fine release with their refix of "Escape" which turns the steam down via plenty of Basic Channel style dub technoisms.
