Blakkat (aka Mark Bell) is an artist we have been fans of for some time - As head of one of the UKs Premier labels, Shaboom Records, Mark's Studio Safe Productions were resposible for a string of classics. All of the labels early releases were produced by Mark and his team - collaborators included House music icons Marshall Jefferson, Felix Da Housecat, DJ Sneak, Farley Jackmaster Funk and anyone else visiting the UK from Chicago in the early 90s. For Variance, Mark has truly delivered. Faux was written specifically for the label and is a fine example of house, music at it's brilliant best. Faux manages to be both fresh and nostalgic, tracky yet mellodic and unmistakably Blakkat. Swirling Synths and trippy vox snippets blend with subtle stabs and an acidic bassline to relentlessley drive the track, this is the track that will be heard out this summer from London to Miami, this weekend in Berlin and all summer in Ibiza. The original is backed with remixes from two of the most exciting producers of the moment - Agnes & Kink. Whether you go for the original or the remixes 'Faux' is a track that will unify a whole range of DJs again and possibly give us one of the highlights of summer.
