Mark Jenkyns – OFUNSOUNDMIND029

2 techno slammers from Mark Jenkyns!!! Pounding drumbeats and synths are the oh so perfect ingresients for ‘Transmission’ while ‘Kiss It’ on the flip side gets trippy and acidic, we love this!!

Dave Gerrard‘s earliest attempts at mixing was way back in 1980 with a setup of three tape decks. He got his first proper decks in 1990, started Djing and has never looked back. The natural progression took place and Dave soon found himself sitting down to produce his own music. He’s a huge lover of Disco and as well as making his own shiny gems, he, like many others in his field, just loves to add his own twist to some of his personnel favourites from times gone by, so that they slip right in to the feel of today’s dance floors.

For his latest release he’s put his spin on Empire‘s ‘Freakman’, a tune that had the movers and groovers doing their thing in 1981 and now, in the present day, it’s our turn to put our Disco shapes to good use from the extra funk and fatness that’s now been added to the original. If you’re feeling this, which I’m sure you are, hit the Soundcloud link below and find a stack of quality music,
