Release Info:

Detroit native Mark Flash aims to create music that moves – and it does. From New
York to Hong Kong, his “electropic funk” (yes, “electropic”) is the lifeblood of the party, with
rich and full sounds that seep straight to the partygoers’ soul. As one of the few DJ’s who
masters keyboard and percussion, his excellent musicianship and keen intuition is a sight to
see live and an experience to be felt. As a well-respected name in the Detroit techno world
and an influential part of Underground Resistance, he is deeply rooted to the city where it all
began. From a young age he began spinning at small parties, slowly moving up the ladder
through persistence and dedication to his craft. After paying countless dues to get to where
he is today, Mark Flash humbly holds true to the music he creates, continuously harnessing
the fire and passion that has always driven him.

The EP begins
with CORKTOWN GROOVE (5:44), a smooth and lively vibe to accompany you on a drive under
city lights on a Friday night. Bumping up the energy, ELMWOOD PARK (7:34) hits the
crowd with colorful synths and fresh moves. As the definition of high energy, KAIRAD’s
(7:10) powerful base and dynamic sound is the apex of the night. To finish off the EP, the
classic feel of DEQUINDRE CUT (6:25) will leave you feeling good till the next day. This EP is
another fresh cut from the man who stands behind his music, handing you an experience
once you hit play.

Free your mind and float away, you’re now entering the mode of the Growing Bin. Hamburg’s centre for
audio enlightenment is back with another sublime sensory experience, this time from the land of the
rising sun.
Keen to get another stamp on his passport, Basso reached out to Japanese duo Singu, two open minded
cats who just love to jam. Marrying Kiyo’s free drumming with Keta Ra’s melodic mastery of keyboard
and guitar, the two-piece fuse free jazz, post-rock, kosmische and ambient into immersive and esoteric
improvisations. Free from any compositional concerns, the Hiroshima outfit trade in energy, emotion
and expression.
The frenetic percussion and ephemeral melodies of opener ‘Aurora Gate’ instantly transport you to the
breathless churn of a Tokyo crossroads, where thousands of people rush by but you stand still in the eye
of the storm. Though they may be explosive, the drums sit back in the mix, offering a soft intensity behind the shimmering wall of melody. A nimble and nuanced affair, ‘Bop’ brings rapid fire rhythm, slick
syncopation and hypnotic piano refrains. Cool bass rolls along like KDJ’s ‘Rectify’, as Singu update the
acid jazz template like Toshio Matsuura covering Carl Craig. Singu journey from far out to Furthur on Aside closer ‘Nagebu’, strapping in for psychedelic synth wig out which is heavy on the resonance and free
on the filter.
Blooming out of the darkness on the B1, Basso favourite ‘Fazaria’ soothes and moves you with its twinkling keys, nebulous wave forms and delicate guitar, leaving you wide eyed in wonder as the drum fills
burst like fireworks across a star-filled sky. ‘828’ sweeps into abstraction as Kiyo and Keta Ra combine
snapping glitches and aquatic electronics with fractal guitar tones and woozy bass, pushing through a
portal to see what’s beyond. An a-grade wall melter, this trip makes great use of tension as the crisp machine drums stand in sharp contrast to the whirring, blurring guitars. Finally ’44’ carries you home on
a downbeat drift, a flawless fusion of buzzing electronics, misty pads and relentless percussion played
with perfect poise.
Turn on, tune in and trip out, Singu bring you music from the moment that you’ll love for a lifetime.
