Post from NY (not from max): Mark E-xtravagagme Parte Tres and Fjórir!
SORRY FOR THE DELAY. MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, INCLUDING MY HD CRASHING AND ME LOSING 90% OF MY MUSIC. HERE IS A POST THAT I WROTE A MONTH AGO WHILE I WAS VISITING MAX IN NEW YORK. NO PICTURES OF MY WEINER WILL BE POSTED, BUT HERE’S A PIC OF MAX I TOOK AT A CARNIVAL WHILE HE WAS VISITING HIS CARNY PARENTS.
Ok so now you’ve been cruisin on an astral dance plane of fog and lasers for several hours and as you begin to tire you look to the back of the warehouse to the folding chairs situated against the wall. You turn to your friends, shout something about taking a break and begin to weave your way through the crowd towards the back. A peace settles across the dance floor as one of Mark’s pressure dubs starts to cook. You collapse in the foldable chair with your friends, but the simple synths progression and the hi-hat start to gain momentum. The snare drops and a high pitched whine begins to rise out of the dark. You begin to move in your seat and before you know it you are itching to get back on the dance floor. It’s unfair really, when DJs pull that, all you want is rest, but they make you dance, they MAKE you dance. But it’s delightfully tortuous and sore feet and achy legs are a small price to pay for a night of escapist debauchery. Enjoy perhaps one of the best Mark E tracks out there from the Juno 10th anniversary series. Simple. Clean. Patient. Perfect.
The Detroit Experiment – Think Twice (Mark E Pressure Dub)
Now the finale. The recently released edit off of Under The Shade (parent label Jiscomusic) that I have played at every party I’ve DJed in the past few months and another epic from Mark E’s RA Podcast. The B-side is a rad housey edit of “Frankenstein,” the artist of which I can’t recall right now. On the A-side is Mark’s edit of Grace Jones “La Vie En Rose” is minimalist, but perfect in it’s simplicity. It ends every night well and I’m not going to say much more about it. Enjoy.

Thanks so much for the Mark E tracks, I first heard his golden touch on the Ghost Note Jungle track this guy is without a doubt one of the most interesting artists/remixers/re-editors floating around the sonicsphere and his stature will only grow in 2010 (as will Ghost Note & the History Clock label).
I am guessing the Frankenstein track is a re-edit of the Edgar Winter Group classic from 1974 or a re-edit of the remixes of said track from 1984 done under just the Edgar Winter name (well worth tracking down all three versions, I have them if you have not and you want me to send them to you). Also check out the video of their live 1974 performance of Frankenstein on the Old Grey Whistle Test (its on Youtube…forget the sax parts and wait till the drums kick in…!!) . Would like to hear the Frankenstein remix you are talking about, will you be putting it up?
