Over the past few years we have seen a surge of artists, music and labels coming out of Romania and, whilst not seen as a traditional hotbed of House Music, this new wave of movers and shakers are working together to create their own lasting musical legacy. The latest in the busy line of producers is 22 year old Bacau born, Marcman. Behind the decks at 14 and studying his art from 18 the young man with a love for angry kicks and heavy baselines has already graced the likes of Quanticman, Plant 74 and Esperanza with his music. Now he's set to join the Bass Culture family as he presents his debut release for the label the "In Trecere" ep. "I was actually sent some Marcman tracks about a year ago by Franco Cinelli" says Bass Culture label chief D'Julz. "I instantly loved his beats and groove and i played them immediately on the Circoloco terrace. I got in touch and asked him to work on an ep for Bass Culture. I specifically wanted it for this summer because his beats are exactly what i love to play in Ibiza." Marcman's 4 track "In Trecere" ep sees him sandwiching the deep dubby sounds of "Rutina" and the percussive guitar licked "Dansand", with the Chicago'esque numbers "Levier" and "In Trecere."

Adult Only Shape is back with an intriguing collaboration, between the mysterious Frenchie Monsieur Georget and young Parisian talent Le Loup. A combination of the old skool with the new skool, the sounds are just that. Each take a pounding bass and a solid minimal-tech stance and layer their character on top. A1 is scattered with futuristic bleeps and computerised murmurs, interspersed with reminiscing vocals, while A2 is the most raw in nature, with a tough techno feel until the smooth overtones set in and a feeling of euphoria takes over. But some may say B1 is say arguably the standout track, for its intoxicating vocal and irresistible underlying swing and groove.
