THISISTMRW are very, very proud to be bringing local DJ/Disco Edit/Producer MARK E to The Bulls Head on Saturday 28th May to launch his highly anticipated album, STONEBREAKER on Matthew Dear’s Ghostly International label.
Taking the same kind of sonic liberties with dance music that My Bloody Valentine were making with guitar music in the late 80s, Mark E has been serving up heavy-hearted melodies and hypnotic loops channelled through down-beat-disco funnels since 2005 – Always driving, but always organic in sound, even his deepest, acid-splashed tracks maintain a very humanoid, accessible feel.
Whether he’s remixing the likes of Matthew Dear, Clinic or Shit Robot; working over a classic Grace Jones track, extending the foreplay and holding back the chorus till it’s too late to switch off; or creating his own rumbling, wall-of-sound anthems (See Nobody Else), Mark E/Merc Records is fast becoming Birmingham’s finest export brand, and with his back catalogue being my personal favourite (late) musical discovery of the past year, I can’t wait for you lot to get stuck-in too
DJ Support comes from Fabric London fixture and remix wizard DISCO BLOODBATH and local synth-molesters FREE SCHOOL (TIRK records) – And anyone who buys an advance ticket HERE gets an exclusive mix from the man himself…See you there!
