Artist of the Month: MK
House |
Friday 17th May 2013 | Cristina
Marc ‘MK’ Kinchen made a name for himself as the producer and DJ behind the hit singles ‘Always’ and ‘Love Changes’ in 1993 and 1994. He then went on to record the underground club classic ‘Burning’. In 2002, Kinchen became the in-house producer for the actor and singer Will Smith, as well as producing for the rest of the Smith family - Willow and Jaden.
As one of the leading house producers of his generation, MK’s mixes can be heard in almost every corner of the global house scene and beyond – even superficial listeners whose furthest knowledge of house is the UK top 40 will recognize his work.
The American house producer is responsible for the iconic remix of Nightcrawler’s ‘Push the Feeling On’ which is known to most as the basis of Pitbull's international hit record, ‘Hotel Room’. This is the tip of the iceberg – MK has remixed and been sampled by artists as diverse as Lana Del Ray, Dev, Enrique Iglesias, Ellie Goulding, Crosstown Rebels, Jamie Jones, Lee Foss and Tricky.
MK’s legacy continues to grow - he’ll be taking over the Ibiza superclubs this summer and you can be sure to catch his classic house sound – wherever you are - spun out at any half-decent club near you.
