### is a new project from long time UK techno stalwart Mark Hawkins, who has
produced a variety of techno/electronic releases in the past on many different
labels, including Djax Up Beats, Mosquito, Neue Heimat, Hoerspielmusik and Snork
parent label Feinwerk. First featured on Feinwerk in 2007, ### is Mark's return
to his Chicago/Detroit influenced roots, mixed with a new 21st century flavour.
Inspired by the desire for deep, hypnotic techno-house grooves as an antidote to
both the mindless hard techno, mundane minimal pastiches, and "experimental" for
the sake of it music, that is so typical of the current times. ### is stripped
back to basics, in both style and execution, with the music being produced
mainly on old school drum machines and synths, with track and release titles
minimized.
Side A has two original compositions from ###, featuring bleeps, cuts and hidden
bass between clouds of wobbly sounds, with a nod and wink to the original
Detroit minimal legends, as well as current high flyers like M. Dear and
J.T.Cotton.
Side B gives us a deep cut remix by M_nus records boy-wonder Hobo (Joel Boychuk,
who is also one half of Tractile). Following on from the excellent "From A to B"
that was released on M_nus in December 2008 (M_nus 69), he brings us a great
remix of ###┤s 04, showcasing his mind-blowing production skills whilst
displaying definite old school influences. He was so excited by the original
tracks though, that he also made a second remix of ###┤s 03, which will be
released soon on Snork17r, EP01 remixes.
