MARCUS INTALEX
[Soul:R / Metalheadz / 31 Records]
In 2003 the attachment of ‘
MIST’ to the production credits of a record still ensures a stamp of quality, after nearly ten years in the business. Since their early efforts for labels such as Flex and their own Intalex Productions,
Marcus Intalex and
ST Files have provided Drum and Bass with a guarantee of quality over quantity, pushing the envelope at every stage. The word seminal is too often bandied around in dance music but in the case of 1998’s ‘
How You Make Me Feel’ for
Doc Scott’s 31 Records, the description never seemed so fitting. Spawning a legion of admirers and copy cats the unique qualities of
MIST’s landmark production still reverberates in modern Drum and Bass.
Further releases for
Metalheadz and
31 and high profile remixes for the likes of
Un.Cut, MJ Cole, Goldie and Solid State re-affirmed MIST’s position at the top of the jungle tree. In 2001 the page was turned once more with the birth of
Soul:R their critically acclaimed imprint and home to not only their own work but that of
Calibre, High Contrast, DJ Marky, D.Kay and a host of others. After the success of the
Soul:ution EP series, a debut label CD compilation is in the offing, promising cold classics from the back catalogue as well as future bubblers and some very special remixes. This is the year of
Soul:R, as
MIST take their own constantly forward thinking vision of Drum and Bass to the next level. Look out for more collaboration work with Calibre as
MISTICAL, including an exciting vocal project with a Brooklyn based soul singer as well as club favourites ‘
MISTICAL Dub Part 2’ and ‘
Cold Halo’.
As ever Marcus’ DJ-ing has remained uncompromising and hectic of late. Recent visits have been paid to Japan, his residency with
DJ Marky in
Sao Paolo as well as regular trips to Europe and Soul:R’s own residency, Soul:ution in home town Manchester. This is an exciting time for Drum and Bass, as Soul:R’s constant focus on quality, ground breaking music is example of. So here’s to MIST and their continued dedication to pushing things forward.
Marcus is the ORIGINATOR, pioneer of the liquid styles. Don't miss this legend in action..
