Now and again a track emerges that is effortlessly cool as well as being an out and out show stopper. It happened this year in Ibiza with Intruder “Amame”, each time it was played there was a constant enquiry of “What’s this tune” and “how can I get hold of it?”
“Amame” has been floating around a very select DJ circle on limited vinyl pressing for some months. This is a Murk production from Oscar G and Ralph Falcon under the guise of Intruder, a guise that has re-emerged after some 20 years after it was first conceived.
Any Murk production is a rare thing, and a record of this quality and breadth of appeal is perhaps even rarer. Straddling the often tricky to navigate border between house and techno without difficulty, it features one of the most hypnotically memorable vocals of the year courtesy of Miami vocalist Jei.
It was early tracks like “Reach for Me”, “Liberty City’, “Some Lovin’” and “If You Really Love Someone”, that gave Murk their first major lift upon release in 1993. Later came “Fired Up!” (‘96) with its powerful signature vocal under their Funky Green Dogs guise which became their biggest hit and turned them into big stars of the early 90′s.
Now 20 years down the line Intruder “Amame” is being championed by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers and even Ricardo Villalobos, ensuring that all those loitering around the booths of DC10’s closing party and Fabric’s birthday were enquiring of its story. Now the story can begin to be told…
Once again Defected TV takes you live and direct to the ultimate partying destinations on the planet with this new special 18 min clubbing episode, bringing you exclusive interviews and news from 2011 Ibiza closings and beyond. Here you can experience the outdoor vibe from most talked about venue of the year Ushuaia, plus All Gone Pete Tong, the Space Closing Fiesta with Carl Cox and of course get a taste of the amazing vibe and feeling of the ultimate Defected In the House closing party at Pacha.
We do not stop there, almost instantly after Ibiza came the madness of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). This episode delves into what’s happening with the most important movers and shakers in the Dam including footage of Defected’s road blocked In The House Party at Air with Inner City, MK, Frankie Knuckles and many more.
We take time out to bring you exclusive interviews with the most significant names in Dance including Jamie Jones waxing lyrical about Hot Natured, Yousef on his highlights of the summer, Maya Jane Coles her prospective new album, Clive Henry on Balearic House, Carl Cox on his 10 year space residency, Laidback Luke on Super You And Me and Pete Tong on the changing underground sound of Ibiza.
This episode features: Carl Cox, Fedde le Grand, Jamie Jones, Yousef, Armin Van Buuren, Maya Jane Coles, Mr Dorris, Mo’Funk, Ryan Marciano, Sunnery James, Nic Fanciulli, Steve Lawler, Robert Dietz, Luciano, Pete Tong, Nervo, Laidback Luke, Shovell, Sam Divine, Simon Dunmore, Junior Jack, Kid Creme, Barbara Tucker, Shingai, Bob Sinclar, Franky Rizar Frankie Knuckles, Kevin Saunderson, Inner City, The Shapeshifters, Chocolate Puma, MK, Rae.
We have waited for this one for like 6 months, when we heard it first time in April @ Smederevo Castle [Serbia]. Below you can see how it looks live with Shovell on percussions!
Totally wicked tune that will be released on 16th of November 2011! And that’s not all – expect 2 more tunes in collaboration ATFC & David Penn for Defected!
Incredible progressive-vocal tune by Steve Westover has been featured in the ADE 2011 Buzzchart as the tracks to watch in 2012! For those who love SHM sound this is true delight since this uplifting bomb has incredible voice and those massive bigroom breakdowns that will for sure make your hands up in the air. Not to mention that tune is currently unsigned.
It was during the halcyon period of House music in the early 90s that MK (Marc Kinchen) established his reputation as one of House music’s finest producers and today he’s certainly regarded as one of its most influential. It’s not surprising given his set of credentials; he started out in Detroit making his own tracks and as a protégé of Techno god Kevin Saunderson where he developed his craft engineering Inner City records. A major label album deal saw him move to New York where he also became a prolific remixer for underground acts as well as the remix producer of choice for R&B or credible pop acts (including Jodeci, Bobby Brown, Pet Shop Boys and Moby) that sought his unique dance floor flavour. His successes led to the even headier heights working with Quincy Jones and later as a songwriter and producer with Will Smith, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg and Rihanna amongst others but it also meant a period away from the dance underground.
Now, MK has returned to House and he is the latest artist to be featured in Defected’s House Masters series with a new unmixed retrospective of his finest works which brings together a package of his original productions and remixes including some classics that previously existed only on vinyl.
MK’s unique sound found fans across house music but also way beyond. He was the producer behind THE mix of The Nightcrawlers “Push The feeling On” that crossed over to sell over 3 million copies worldwide and he produced a range of seminal house tracks from Chez Daimier “Can You Feel It” to Byron Stingily “Love You The Right Way” (MK Dub), tracks that still get played and checked today.
But it was two works specifically that have really brought him back into focus; especially his production under the guise of 4th Measure Men, “4 You” which was recently remixed by Maya Jane Coles and then there was “Burning” another staunch house classic that has religious spins from luminaries across the board from Pete Tong to Tiefschwarz, Visonquest to Spencer Parker.
His musical legacy that has also influenced big pop artists of today who unashamedly emulate MK’s distinct vibe, recently American artists Dev and Pitbull both borrowed his sound to much success for major releases.
The diversity of his sound (and talent) allowed MK to effortlessly straddle both commercial and underground worlds. His tracks are played by both long-established DJs like Kerri Chandler, Todd Terry and both Masters At Work but importantly have influenced the new breed of contemporary producers. Ask Soul Clap, Round Table Knights, Maya Jane Coles or Jamie Jones and they will all acknowledge his influence on their own very current sound. It’s that special blend of melodic Korg M1 basslines and perfect chopped up vocals that created his signature New York-style that many seek to replicate.
There is no question that MK’s sound is unique, so here in your chance to get access to 20 of his most influential recordings. They have all been made available completely unedited, unmixed and DJ friendly for the very first time. Listen out for the 9 previously unreleased and rare classics only available on vinyl up until now including 4th Measure Men “Given” (MK Dub) and MK re-rub of Captain Hollywood “Rhythm Of Life” (MK 12” Mix). This is an album that will never leave your DJ wallet.
What other artists say about Marc Kinchen aka MK:
Jamie Jones “I remember hearing Burning back when I was about 14 living in Wales, listening to Pete Tongs essential selection, Its one of the records that helped convert me from drum n bass and hardcore to house music.” Eli from Soul Clap – “Push The Feeling” is the most obvious MK remix to mention, but that’s why it’s had such an impact on my DJ life. MK’s “The Dub of Doom” always works on any dance floor… probably anywhere in the universe” Frankie Knuckles – “MK, A giant Inspiration in House Music” Kevin Saunderson - “his records have hooks and they are very catchy in the clubs. They simply work, he knows what to do, he is still around and he still has it” Louie Vega from Masters At Work – “MK will always be one of my favorite producer / remixers. He was ahead of his time with his music and to this day continues to inspire us all” Felix (Basement Jaxx) – “MK-A true innovator and originator, a pioneer of true deep house” Ryan Crosson (Visionquest) – “The original of 4th Measure Men “4 You” is a real classic” Kerri Chandler – “I don’t think I ever DJed a set without at least playing 1 MK track” Pitbull – “I think what makes Marc special is that he is someone that has always been ahead of his time with music which is genius in his own right”

In advance of the release of his Nikki Beach In The House compilation, ATFC has put together an hour mix comprising no less than 23 records that have inspired him over the course of his life. Ranging from Herbie Hancock to Public Enemy, this is a highly eclectic journey through the musical mind of ATFC. Absolutely beautiful mix that we fully support!!!
1. Funkadelic – Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow
This seemed the perfect sentiment with which to kick off the mix and comes from a totally ‘out there’ album, apparently recorded within 24hrs while the band were completely off their nut. Not an unusual occurrence in those days but ‘Free Your Mind…’ took funk into another, heavier dimension.
2. Frankie Valli – Grease
From 1978 and one of my first musical memories. It’s been so overplayed and hijacked by the tacky Saturday night Karaoke brigade one forgets how good the music actually is. Fantastically warm production which conjures up many good memories and a few desperate ones of my futile search for a fly leather jacket and Yale cardigan.
3. Michael Jackson – PYT
I recently dug this out to play at Cafe Mambo Ibiza and felt the atmosphere lift immediately as soon as it dropped. The groove is sooo tight and clean with Michael nailing the vocal to within an inch of its life and it’s an often overlooked cut from the album. Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones….what’s there not to be inspired by?
4. Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince – Live @ Union Square
I listened to this over and over with my head in my hands thinking ‘how the hell did Jazzy Jeff do that?’ From then on I collected all the Ultimate Breaks & Beats albums and began practicing…hard. I got some way with scratching and early turntablism and this set a benchmark (which I never reached I’m sorry to say!)
5. Herbie Hancock – Rockit
Before the scratching came the body-popping and breakdancing. I was fairly useless and this record was the soundtrack to many lost battles in my ‘hood’.
6. Colonel Abrahms – Trapped
I once DJ’d at a gig where Colonel Abrahms was singing. My girlfriend at the time decided to keep him company while I was playing and at the end of the night she told me what a nice guy Colin was. I still ended up marrying her.
7. Aleem – Get Loose
Along with Release Yourself this is an absolute standout cut from Aleem who apparently shared an apartment with Jimi Hendrix. With Leroy Burgess on vocals it combined electro production with soulful overtones perfectly and was another excuse to buss’ out the lino.
8. Bob James – Nautilus + Linda Clifford – Ride The Storm
A lot of Bob James’ stuff can sound a little hotel lobbyish for me but this deep, dark jazz-funk groove is so atmospheric and menacing, if you close your eyes you’ll literally feel 20,000 leagues under the sea.
9. Stevie Wonder – Living For The City
‘New York, just like I pictured it. Skyscrapers and evrythang!’ I waited many years to be able to say that but when I did, I blew an air kiss to Stevie on Madison Avenue. If I had to pick, he’s probably my artist of all time.
10. Roy Ayers & Ubiquity – Life Is Just A Moment Pt. 2
This man is responsible for many of my £’s spent on records and entrances to Ronnie Scotts. I once interviewed him at the back of his tour bus and remember being speechlessly star-struck. A disastrous 10 minutes that ended my career in journalism. This is one of my favourite lesser known tracks and while Part 1 is pretty decent, I imagine this came after a step out of the studio, a quick fag and back in to lay down this heavy alternative take.
11. James Brown & The JB’s – Mind Power
What inspirations list wouldn’t include a bit of JB? Whenever I think of James Brown, for some reason I think of this…
12. The Fatback Band – I Found Lovin’
One of those tunes that got a roar as soon as the first bar cut through the system. So recognisable, and one that re-united the guys and the girls on the dance floor after the breakdance competition had climaxed. Brought back into blokey territory on a re-release by Steve Walsh and his ‘You What? You What?’ call to arms – I never understood that version….
13. Public Enemy – Bring The Noise
These guys were my ‘Sex Pistols’ I suppose, and as a white kid from the suburbs they should have meant nothing to me, but their angry, rebellious rawness appealed during my teenage years. Perhaps I was angry I had nothing to be angry about??
14. A Tribe Called Quest – Oh My God
Probably my favourite Hip Hop act and I was truly sad when they split. Q Tips flow and the simple but untouchable, lazy MPC beats of Ali Shaheed together with Phife’s childlike pitch took The Native Tongues to another level. Although De La Soul and The Jungle Brothers were close contenders, Tribe win it for me in this inspirations mix.
15. Soul II Soul – Fairplay
When these guys arrived their sound was totally fresh and very much ‘a London Thing’. I was lucky to see them at their club nights at The Africa Centre and The Fridge and bought the T-Shirt too. There has never been a more appropriately named album than ‘Club Classics’.
16. John Coltrane – Acknowledgement
The album ‘A Love Supreme’ is made up of only 3 parts, is fairly heavy going in some parts but very spiritual and was on constant rotation in my room during my studies at University – a coming of age, ‘grown-up’ record.
17. MARRS – Pump Up The Volume
This had the same effect on me as ‘Live @ Union Square’, except in a production context. Years before I stepped into a recording studio I’d begun to wonder how these sounds were made and think it was possible I could do the same. In 1987 I would never have believed that 20 years later I’d be sat next to CJ Mackintosh, 37000 ft in the air, talking about how the record influenced me.
18. Jaydee – Plastic Dreams
It’s a little difficult to classify this record and the proof of which is that it was my house hating friends that first put me onto it. At the very least, I don’t think there are many DJs of any kind of dance genre who haven’t played this record.
19. Barbara Tucker – Beautiful People
Although I’d bought a few ‘House’ records previously, this one helped change the way I saw it. One night I found myself standing on a speaker stack, pumping my arms in the air to the sound played by a dj from New York. I woke up the next day, threw a mix tape I’d been given the previous night into the cassette player and on came ‘Beautiful People’. The ‘feeling’ came flooding back and I can honestly say that’s the day ‘House’ music truly made sense to me. I got on the next train to London, straight to Release The Groove Records, and spent my student allowance on the latest shipload of US House and Garage.
20. Constipated Monkeys – Cro-Magnon
One of the last times I can say I was truly inspired on a production level was when Eric Morillo launched Subliminal records. It spawned a new era of funky but main-room House Music that I’ve tried to adhere to in the studio since then. Bridging the gaps between prog, tech, funky and deep house, Subliminal fired out a number of classics in their first 2 years and was a no questions asked must buy label. Cro-Magnon had me and Warren Clarke looking up at Harry & Jose as Deities for a long time after that.
21. Lil Louis – French Kiss
Another record that you’d hear all over the club scene regardless of style. One that on paper should be restricted to specialist techno dark rooms but thanks to its provoking breakdown and innovative ‘slow-down’ gained fans right out to the holiday resorts of Turkey and beyond, where I first heard it. I stupidly sold my original copy to the local dj in return for free drinks the next night…..
22. Nuyorican Soul – I Am The Black Gold Of The Sun (4 Hero Mix)
A major influence and possibly my favourite Dance producers were Masters At Work. I could have included a number of their productions in this mix but I chose, instead, to feature them as artists being remixed. The original by Rotary Connection is a desert island record for me and Nuyorican Soul covered it impeccably. This genius bit of A&Ring by Gilles Peterson gave rise to a Drum & Bass gem (a genre I’ve not been a huge fan of) and possibly one of my all-time choice remixes.
23. The James Gang – Ashes, Rain & I
I end with a track that contains the string sample (wait till the very end!!) upon which my professional career is hugely indebted to. I can’t take the credit for unearthing it but when researching Norman Cook’s inspiration brought me to this, it proved to me that there is an absolute validity in sampling as an art. Inspiration can come at any time and from anything and while this list could have included music and songs that are more worthy and would, indeed, be higher in my iTunes ranking, these are the ones that came at a certain time and a certain place, and the ones which, like it or not, inspired me.
Outstanding Killer EP by John Deere is released with whole variety of ruff techy basslines and eclectic synths that will for sure do some damage on the dancefloor.
Whole pack include remixes by talented and proven talents like Liberty Klaud, Senores Funkees, Pion, Sasha Agressor, Vid Marjanovic, Plan-E, Filip Stanic and Roeth & Grey.
All tunes are tested on the dancefloor! No neighbors were harmed in any way!
Supported by: Erick Morillo, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten, Maor Levi aka 123XYZ, Max Freegrant, Duca, Carlos Jimenez, Yves Eaux, Mark Denken, Carlos Jimenez, Noisedock, Vazik, Gui Milani, Monica Soldan, Youri Donatz and many more!
ATFC – apart from being a legend – is one of the world’s hardest working DJ and uber producers. It is true he has been rocking dance floors since many of you were knee high to a dj booth but that has just improved his skills. He is versatile and innovative, he constantly reinvents his sound and he simply rocks every time. His recent productions have smashed it at Beatport, look him up he has a discography as long as your arm from his historic chart topping releases like “Bad Habit” and “Sleep Talk” to download store No.1’s like “The Conversation” and “Dazzle EP” to his brand new “Shots from The Hips EP”. Here he returns once again to mix Nikki Beach In The House, an album that represents one of the most glamorous beach clubbing brands in the world. This is where he tells us all about it…
But first, before you read be sure to play Nikki Beach In The House Mixed by ATFC & Roman Rosati – Album Sampler and to support it by buying it on 31st of October! Sip some drink, play it and enjoy reading!
^1 Hey ATFC. How are you doing? Are you somewhere sunny today?
I am most days as I live in Spain on the Costa Blanca. We’ve had a very long hot summer this year and it’s still in the 30′s even in late October.
^2 Our ears have missed you…where have you been??
Ah bless you. Working and playing hard. Do you think these masterpieces are created overnight?? They take months of honing, sculpting and musical massaging to refine them into the faultless gems that they are. Seriously though, there have been a few tracks in progress which all seem to have taken shape recently and none have been quite ready until now. I’ve been travelling, djing, producing, entertaining…the usual stuff. It’s been a busy summer all round. I’ve gained more passport stamps from Asia, America, Canada and Europe since my last release and national stocks of Spanish Vino Rosado have depleted somewhat.
^3 How has your year in beach clubbing been? Can you tell us about any places with a special vibe…?
It’s been very “beachy” this summer actually and it looks to be more of a trend as time goes on. Montenegro has a small but very beautiful coastline and an afternoon gig I played there was really cool. Ushuaia Ibiza is, of course, on another level with its festival sized stage and multi-million euro surroundings. Some of the most enjoyable times, however, were spent playing soul, funk, jazz and disco on the beach in my home town Javea. Friends, family, mojitos and a warm sea breeze all added to the perfect atmosphere.
^4 What would you like to hear if you were lounging by a pool?
It’s funny you should ask…. check my pool-side set from Vocal Booth Weekender 2011 out!
^5 Why do you think Nikki Beach have been awarded the prestige of “Sexiest Place on Earth”?
Maybe I wasn’t there the day the judges turned up?
^6 You are about to release a new mix with them, tell us about any the vibe you went for and the tracks you included.
I tried to audibly represent the warm orange sunset glow that slowly dims into a mocha brown and ends with the fizzing darkness of midnight. I wanted to make the 74 minutes a perfect launch-pad to take you from pool to dance-floor and basically send you off into the night not wanting to stop until daylight. It’s a little more chilled than a straight up club set from me but not noodly either. There are a couple of new tracks from ATFC, some current hotties like Ame’s remix of Osunlade ‘Envision’ and ‘The Tide’ by Mark Fanciulli and oldies like Tropical Soundclash and Belo Horizonte.
^7 How did you turn “When The Needle Drops” into a Nikki Beach anthem?
To me, the track just screams “pool party”. It’s a little disco, a little Hip Hop, a little R’N'B and totally feel-good so it seemed to sum up the ethos of Nikki Beach perfectly. I was a little presumptuous calling it an anthem ahead of time (and without them knowing about it!) but I hope come next summer it would have earned the title.
^8 Another future release on the compilation is Geetah (exclusive to the comp I believe), can you tell us a bit about it?
It’s just a good guitar led groove so I thought I’d be really clever, change a couple of letters and call it “Geetah”. It’ll be released as one half of the next Shots From The Hip instalment next year and I rather like it, it has a Harry ‘Choo Choo’ feel about it.
^9. Is it a struggle to keep producing original material, or do you find it easier the more experienced you become?
Yes, with House Music you do feel like you’re trying to re-invent the wheel sometimes but then something will snap into place and you feel as excited as you did when you made your first record. There’s very little that’s truly original nowadays but I find keeping one foot in the past and the other edging forward keeps me hobbling on the right track. What I am learning with experience is balance. Not to throw myself for too long into one direction and not be scared of making tracks that aren’t meant to tear the roof off. These days I try to shake things up constantly with tracky EP’s, quality songs and big room cuts.
^10. From someone who was there the first time around, what do you make of the current trend of backward-looking productions, with old records from MK, Kerri Chandler etc.. currently representing the in-vogue sound?
It’s great because I don’t have to buy them again and I even have the B-sides to play! I’ve spent the past week recording and archiving old vinyl (something I’ve done many times before) and it’s amazing how I can still find something that catches my ear afresh. There were, of course, other producers who were hot back then so it’s nice to dig out something equally as good as “Burnin” or “Hallelujah” that can surprise people even more. Quality always prevails. These productions and their producers weren’t popular by accident first time around and essentially the hooks and musical elements work just as well today as they did 20 years ago. All that sometimes needs a little update is the power and punchiness of the drums. That said the current trend even does away with that need as guys like Jamie Jones, Tensnake and others champion the retro in its entirety.
^11. Which artist above all others has impressed you this year?
What recently made me “wow” was the announcement of The Swedish House Mafia selling out Madison Square Garden and Milton Keynes Bowl. That’s a pretty big deal for any artist, let alone three DJs who not long ago were fairly happy reaching the Dj Top 100. Whether you’re into their music or not it’s hard not to be impressed by the machine that achieved that. Musically, however, David Herrero has a good groove as have UK young blood Grant Nalder and Roul & Doors.
12. Are you looking to collaborate with anyone on future projects?
I have a collaboration with David Penn set to drop soon titled La Verdad (Sentimiento) and I’d like to work on some more stuff with him. Also, The Shapeshifters and I have an idea we’re working on which we’re pretty excited about. There are others but nothing confirmed yet so I can’t say more.
Big thanks to ATFC for this lovely intreview and Toni T from Defected for giving us all the proper info! Enjoy in top house quality!
