Mr Q is the one who inspires me on every field of music – keeping his style alive for years, not paying much attention on trends, minding just and only his own business. He is underground as his upcoming tune “Sentiment” is!

German duo Syke’n'Sugarstarr aka Se:Sa did really wicked progressive/bigroom bootleg with well-known instrumental and well-known acapella. This bootleg should be motivational for upcoming DJs and producers since you can do it by yourself. If you ask how, just check Axwell’s tune “Resurrection” and latest Syke’n'Sugarstarr acapella pack and that will be all for you! Just do it your way!

Until then enjoy!

The best clubs the world over are where the musical rules and restrictions go out the window and you know that you are going to have the best time. It’s no secret that Erick Morillo can cause anarchy on the dance floor and he will make sure that when you see him LIVE you will experience exactly what we are talking about.

“This fine selection of tunes varying from serious club stormers like Mark Funk’s ”Together” or Wise D & Kobe ”Groove me baby’‘ to regular bootie shakers from Durubuntu Jackers & MEDO, Copyshop Downtown INC, Angel Anx and myself. This is first time I put out some deeper sounds on Disko Zoo and our pioneers are Hyde & Sick with their ”Botako” track and my personal favorite on this release and general favorite that will stay for long time in my box Dragan’s ”Stab Me”.

ENJOY!”

Since winning our producer competition back in 2010, Chris Jordan and Ben Webb aka KORT have been on quite a ride. Their winning track “Tomorrow” was the first release on the re-launched Copyright Recordings and shot straight to No.1 in the Traxsource start, beginning an extraordinary run of success for the label.

Now, after a sterling performance at their first Defected In The House gig at Ministry of Sound, the duo are about the front a new compilation series from Copyright’s label; Master Output.

Here we catch up with Chris and Ben for a quick chat about their initial flirtations with house music, their studio relationship and their plans for world domination…

^1 When did you first start producing music? Is it your full time career or do you work as anything else other than musicians?

Chris: I was co-writing and engineering with an eclectic independent house label called G-Force Records during the 90s, and did first productions with them, although I had been experimenting with my home set up since 1988. Those were the days of vinyl, tape, Atari’s and MIDI and I put in many studio hours learning the craft with some notable successes and the occasional Radio 1 play.

Ben: I have been experimenting with electronic music since 1998. My first commercial production was in 2001 under the moniker of Knights of the Round Tables, the first release being “Saxed Up” which was DJ Spen’s first remix with the Muthafunkaz.

Music has become our full time career for the last twelve months largely due to our association with Defected Records and Copyright Recordings which has raised our profile and for which we are extremely grateful!

^2 Tell us about how you first hooked up with Copyright?

We entered the Defected Producer Competition last year with our track “Tomorrow” and luckily enough for us it won. Sam Divine then invited us down to one of the “Heads Up” parties in London where she was playing; we met Simon Dunmore (in Chris’ case a re-introduction as they first met when Chris was Assisting Producer for Sarah HB at Kiss FM who used to work with Simon at AM:PM)

And Sam and Gav Copyright. They all loved the track and have have been great in helping us grow as producers. With all their experience and knowledge we are very grateful to them for giving us the opportunity.

^3 Why is house music such a passion for you both?

Ben: I fell in love with house when I was taken by my friends to my first house club in 1995; from then on there was no turning back! For me house is a spiritual thing… it’s a madness that you can’t see or touch, only feel. House is like my mistress; I go home to my wife but I’m still thinking about music.

Chris: Right from the moment I first heard House I knew it was the music I was waiting to be involved with. I got into the early house scene in 1988/9 and went to some unforgettable gatherings and my life was never the same! House gets into your very bones! Through all the twists and turns that house has taken over the years I’ve remained true to the original spirit of four-to-the-floor and am proud to be a part of the continuing story.

^4 Tell us about your first initial introductions to music…what did you both grow up listening to?

Ben: I was brought up on soul and Motown as far back as I can remember, especially Sam Cooke. Prince and Michael Jackson were also massive influences. My dad would make us listen to Billy Joel and Paul Simon and I later realized that lyrically and musically both are genius musicians. In my early teens I was listening to array of different artists such as The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley. …it’s nice to listen to different genres of music. It gives you a slightly different angle on what you are doing

Chris: My musical influences have been very diverse. I grew up in the era of classic songwriting; Lennon/McCartney (hard act to follow!) and Motown then got into the Parliament, the early albums of Stevie Wonder (Innervisions), the disco era (although too young to go to any!) then experimental electronica such as Kraftwerk and Can. I was very influenced in the early 80s by the productions of Brian Eno, especially in collaboration with David Byrne from Talking Heads (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts).

I also listened to dub reggae and used to go to the WOMAD festivals and got into some electro and the original hip-hop; a guy I used to know at an American air force base in Ipswich had masses of LL Cool J demos on cassette! Then I heard early house records around the end of ’87 and became totally hooked.

^5 How did you first meet each other?

Ben: We met when I was DJing at Pacha in London a few years ago. A coach load of our friends was coming up to see me play there and Chris was a friend of one my cousins. We got introduced, found out we had loads in common. Chris told me he was an all-round musician and so he started playing live percussion and keys in my DJ sets. We then hooked up in the studio and things just clicked for us.

^6 Why do you think you work so well together in the studio? What does each of you bring to the table?

Ben: I have an unhealthy obsession with drums. I write and programme most of the tracks whereas Chris engineers, plays and does most of the mixing. His attention detail is second to none. We consider that we both have equal input into all aspects of working on tracks. I also think you have to be honest. You have to feel very comfortable with each other for either of us to say to the other “I don’t like that part” or “that doesn’t work…”

Chris: I think we both have respect for each other’s abilities and strengths and are both able to learn from each other so that our roles do not remain static but are continually evolving. We clicked in the studio right from first working together and both bring a different element to what we do.

^7 You got off to the best possible start for Copyright Recordings with “Tomorrow” why do you think the label’s struck a chord with so many people since its relaunch?

Yeah we were very lucky to get our first Traxsource No.1 with “Tomorrow” on the re-launch of the label. I don’t think any of us was expecting it. Copyright have been putting out top quality releases for many years so when people see their imprint we suppose they’re expecting much of the same. The Afro tribal Latin thing seems to work on so many levels. For us, it kinda gives off a party vibe and Copyright Recordings bring this full-on with quality releases from quality artists. People are seeing and hearing that, and we feel very privileged to be part of it all.

^8 How would you describe the particular style of house music you make?

We have an Afro-tribal Latin vibe to what we do but we just prefer to call it house… one house, one nation and all that!

^10 What are your plans for the rest of the year…?

World domination! No, seriously… new tracks, more gigs worldwide and hopefully Mr Simon Dunmore would be kind enough to invite us to Ibiza!

^11 Anything else you’d like to tell us about…?

Chris: I was classically trained guitarist and was a Junior Exhibitioner at the Royal College of Music!

Ben: I play guitar and used to be singer/songwriter with a funk-rock band!

This record marks a departure from Mowgli’s normal style as he takes things a little deeper with this stunning, simple yet effective house track with a rather large bassline! After hearing Amber Jolene on Timo Garcia’s “Lady Luck” he got in touch and she delivered a stunning vocal. A match made in sonic heaven.

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.

Intruder (A Murk Production) featuring Jei by Defected Records

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…

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.

House Masters MK by Defected Records

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”
