Horse and Groom Carnival w/ Mark E (Spectral) & Michael Cook (Lowlife)


special guest Mark E (Spectral/ Merc) and Michael Cook resident of the Lowlife parties
join the party crews Musica Noche and High Society Soul over 2 floors and a fun fuelled 10 hour bank holiday special. The venue will be decorated, the carnival cocktals flowing and the BBQ firing. So bring your maracas for the this one folks. Tickets are sale for a crazy £4 + b/f which is got to be the one of best bargains of the bank holiday period/

The music of Mark E is overwhelmingly deliberate, and in that sense it's quintessential house-unswerving, mechanistic, intoxicatingly simple. And life imitates art: the Wolverhampton-reared, Birmingham-based DJ/producer has had a slow, steady ascension to his status as one of the genre’s most natural talents.

Mark E's love affair with electronic dance music began began early, as an adolescent, when Manchester was Madchester and the irreverent attitude of rave culture swept through England. His first record? Bizarre Inc's exuberant, piano-loaded "Playing With Knives," a fortuitous introduction to the hypnotizing powers of house.

Mark's first forays into production were, naturally, edits—warm, understated, and interestingly mellow, with tempos hovering somewhere between 105 and 115 BPM. (Or thereabouts.) Once "Scared," a ten-minute rework of Womack & Womack's "Baby, I'm Scared Of You," found the ears of influential selector (and, more importantly, BBC radio DJ) Giles Peterson, it was on, and a solid string of memorable, vinyl-only releases introduced the world at large to this humble, devoted househead. Slowly (again), Mark went beyond edits and into original production, starting his own label, MERC, and honing a sound that was uniquely blue collar and utilitarian—classic, almost industrial house, with a tinge of disco warmth.
A stellar remix for Matthew Dear's "Little People (Black City)" introduced him to the Ghostly/Spectral fold, who are now releasing his first artist album, Stone Breaker.
