An E.P. Of two tales, the first beginning in Berlin during the winter of 2005, the
second from the wilds of the English countryside.
Mark Hawkins should need no introduction here. His music career which spans the past
ten years has brought numerous releases, and performances around the world, including
legendary clubs like Stammheim, Tresor and U60311 in Germany, Doornroosje in the
Netherlands, Le Batofar in Paris, France and the Tunnel Club in St Petersburg, Russia.
JE:5 is one of the UK's most unsung talents. Resident Live-act at Uglyfunk from it's
inception in 1997, he was always pushing the boundaries, quite often, writing his live
sets on the night of the performances.
Usine a Gaz and Pitagora Suicci were recorded after Mark and JE:5 had too many late nights
in the clubs of Mitte, restaurants of Boxhagnerplatz and bars of Ostkreuz. Sucking
influence from Hardwax where during that week many records by Audion, James T Cotton and
Hieroglyphic Being were purchased, this is the sound of Latte Machiatto, Bionade, Sternberger,
and Kiefen, finally captured on wax.
Uscine A Gaz is an Illinois inspired ode to Jack, merging mid 90s techno flavours with 21st
century tempo and groove.
The destruction of an allnighter at the Panzerwerk becomes apparent in
Pitagora Suicci. You can hear the dehydrated remains of two people who's only way of communicating
with the outside world is through the machines.
Welt Machine and Il Tempo Gigante were recorded by Mark alone in the bedroom of a small market town
in suffolk early in 2009.
Weltmachine gives a nod and a wink to Maurizio, and reminisces of old times in the German capital.
Anthemic is probably the only word to describe “Il Tempo Gigante”, it's where LFO, Mathew Jonson
and DJ Dag all meet in a Berlin Keller, with only a bottle of Jagermeister for company. I'm sure they
will still be working the floor at 10am monday morning!
