Tonkind 023

Dieses Release ist anders und ein wenig crazy vom Sound. Markey setzt hier auf minimale Sounds, durchsetzt mit Sample Snippets und deepen verspulten Vocals. Bestens für einen langen durchfeierten Sonntag geeignet scheint die ganze EP auf jeden Fall. Sehr verspielt sind die Tracks, es klickert hier und da, verfrickelt sich und löst sich dann doch wieder in Geradlinigkeit.
Fazit:
Anders als die meisten Releases, verspult und toolig.

The “Dawn” EP is the debut release of Markey alias “Sander Markey,” who recently
settled down in Berlin after living and working as a Dj and Producer in Gent, Belgium.
Markey has delivered four intriguing tracks covering the spectrum of dark to funky grooves
and soulful voices. With support from Mz. Sunday Luv, who gave her voice for the sexy,
intermezzo on “Dawn” the EP starts off with alluring rhythmic beats and Mz. Sunday Luvʼs
hot, broken vocals, reminiscent of Kate Simko. Repetitive grooves and the marching 303
bass drum are topped with a dark, demanding voice delivering a mystic message. What
first sounds like a charming dirty string ensemble, is then paired with an odd delayed
snare, morphing to signal the beginning of the stalkerʼs rant.
“Spring Break” brings on a warmer, funkier groove. Speeding up the tempo a bit, with
stellar high hats, warm synths, jungle bongos, nice drops and funky male vocals give this
track wide spread appeal and dance-ability.
“In the Shade” made in cooperation with Yannick Robyns, delivers more warm and funky
grooves. The Bobby McFerrin vocal sample is playful and combined with small bits of
exotic spice which brings a more mellow and soulful vibe to the track.
“Facing the Clouds” closes the EP with a melodic and ethereal journey. Quirky and
snappy uptempo beats layered over slower, sliding atmospheric beats, combine to lay the
perfect foundation for the warm, chilled, eccentric vocals.
