Release Notes:
Soul music comes in many different shapes and forms. The variations are
increasing, and with each new generation's interpretations, history is being
rewritten, and forgotten or previously neglected phenomena, styles, and artists
revaluated.
"Everything is possible, nothing is wrong" has been something of a motto for
Markus Enochson since he began working on Night Games. The focus has been on
composing the kind of tunes that help us remember long-forgotten times and
places, and carry us away on a wave of euphoria or melancholia.
Enochson is constantly hunting for new ways of introducing his version of soul.
Today he lets his early rave and techno influences shine through, coupled with
broken beats and flirts with R'n'B. It has not always been like this. There is a
big jump from the classic, New York-inspired house of his first singles to the
freer and more unrestrained compositions of today. It was an awakening for
Markus when he realized he could escape from the pattern he was partly
responsible for putting himself in.
The boundaries within dance music have become increasingly eroded. Styles are
merging with each other and the openness to new impressions is greater than
ever. Night Games is largely a reflection of what is happening today. The Album
is sort of a sampling chart of Markus experiences and influences over the years
and you can sense his childhood adventures when he as a five year old explored
the world of synthesizers at the same time these tracks gives you the
experienced discjockeys feeling for beats and arrangements.
Markus has gathered a wealth of influences on the album. Night Games is house,
techno, and broken beats woven together in a way that only Markus can.
Whatever Markus has produced over the years, it has always been simple and, in
terms of sound, virtually stripped down.
It is a sort of soul-minimalism, distilled from his years of musical experience,
music that he breathed, laughed and cried. On Night Games voices with experience
and history blend with the next generation of stars. Together the unite in a
Markus world of harmony and rhythm.
Night Games clearly shows that he has started a new journey, and nobody -
including himself - knows where it will lead.
