The brainchild of Glaswegian producer and DJ Gary Beck, BEK Audio was established in 2009 as an outlet for his own music, but has since branched out as a platform for a wider range of artists. Industry heavyweights such as such as Speedy J, Mr. G, and Mark Broom are just some that have made contributions over the years. Key releases including Beck’s own “Barefoot Sunday” (featuring a riveting remix by Floorplan) and Ritzi Lee’s hard hitting Intrusive EP, both from 2016, through to Slam’s impressive Harem EP and “She’s Fine” by Chicago legend DJ Rush in 2013 are still typical of the label’s sound. New material from ascendant names artists such as Sosak, Fred Asquith and Antony Dupont maintain its reputation.
Make Me (Mella Dee Raw Traxx Mixx) - (5:13) 132 BPM
Review: Mark Broom is the UK's official tech-house don, and has been for nearly two decades. The amount of music this dude has put out never ceases to amaze us, especially for its continuity and inarguable smoothness. He's up on Gary Bek's Bek Audio, reigning down on us with an absolute blinder in "Make Me", dominating the EP with a fat, fully-locked groove driven by sensational disco vocals. "Fun 18 Mix" feels like 90s era Versatile, or the sort of tune that Gemini would have played, all blasting horns and heavy kicks, while the Mella Dee remix of "Make Me" proceeds to inject the original with yet more percussion, yet more groove and, of course, Dee's natural rawness.
