Release Notes :
SOMA 20 YEARS [1991 2011] Since 2004 Mark Henning has been releasing music on a
variety of labels including Soma, Clink, Cityfox and Frankie, fuelled by the
acclaim of his debut album, Jupiter Jive (2008, Soma). Recent releases such as
the stomping Cupcakes has cemented his place as one of the electronic music
scenes most creative talents. For this release Mark collaborates with Den, a
Soma first, having previously worked together on the track such as La Galaxia
Llorona on Trapez in 2010. Typically blurring the lines between house and
techno, Cosmic Marmalade opens with a energetic and relentless percussive
attack, and a deep, aggressive, bass groove on top of which spectral synth stabs
weave together. Second track Sin City sees the pair reigned in, a more
restrained antidote to the anarchic opener, while still retaining the deep bass
funk. Further tracks Canis Major and Driving Andromeda leave none of the offbeat
production behind, with the undulating tom patterns and crunchy snares providing
a backdrop for further effect laden stabs and swirling arpeggiated synth lines.
Cosmic Marmalade showcases two of the scenes brightest, pushing boundaries and
challenging the audience with a twisted and bombastic sound.
