Resident Advisor 112 - Mark E

Re-edit king Mark E pulls together a hypnotic downtempo mix on this week's RA podcast.

Hypnotic is a word used often when describing dance music, but there's really no other way to describe what Mark E sounds like. It's pretty much his calling card, in fact. Whether it be in his celebrated re-edits of tracks like Womack and Womack's 'Baby I'm Scared of You', Janet Jackson's 'R&B Junkie' or this year's original production 'Slave 1,' E locks into a throbbing groove and doesn't let go.

So when he starts his RA podcast by plying the same beat by STL for nearly four minutes, don't worry about a thing. This is standard operating procedure. Once things get going, it's pretty much slow motion disco down the line, taking in spots of soulfulness from Grace Jones, Marvin Gaye and Amp Fiddler along the way. It's a mix that doesn't do much more than bump, but it's one that doesn't have to. After all, you don't hypnotize someone by shocking them...[read more]
