Melbourne Deepcast return with a killer Various Artist EP featuring some of their Mates. Another Superb EP from Down Under.
Label boss Andy Hart teams up with new wonder kid Max Graef, Max Graef is one of a new generation of young producers emerging from Berlin at the moment. At age 19, his output is surprisingly mature and well rounded - juggling everything from house, hip-hop & garage to indefinable hybrids of in-between.
His own label 'Box Aus Holz' is fast becoming a hub for upcoming producers focussing on the raw sample based house & disco sound. Besides releasing on his own imprint, Max has close ties to Andy Hart's 'Melbourne Deepcast' with whom he has an ongoing collaboration.
On the flip we have tracks from new artist MK5, as with many artists, Micka's musical endeavours began with DJ'ing, a love for collecting records and crate digging. Music production being the natural progression, with two years of batting practice bashing away at mpc pads and dusty synthesisers, we see his first release out on MDC records, 'Moon Vexed'. A piece of work reminiscent of an established producer.
Rounding off the release is a track from The Tortoise who makes a welcome return to MD after releasing on imprints like 3rd Strike, Dirt Crew and Undertones from Detroit.
