Rounding off the year Toolroom head honcho, Mark Knight, steps up to deliver the latest instalment of his ‘Bullets’ series, with Vol. 5. Picking up where Vol. 4 left off, the release features new collaborations with two of Mark’s current favourite DJ/producers, Mason & James Hurr.
After the release of debut album ‘Untold Business’ earlier this year, Mark has fully immersed himself back into his roots as both a DJ and a producer, sharing his love for disco, funk, and soul which has influenced his sound.
He kicks things off with the revision of Mason’s ‘Givin’ Up’, which dropped on Animal Language earlier this year. Having loved the original, he takes the vocal melody and completely reworks the original to create an all new, tougher version.
Pushing the record into club territory, it has a groove with a sense of nostalgia, and with its funky guitar chops and vocal hook, it sits between house and disco.
Up next is Mark’s collab, ‘Movin’, with James Hurr, which features vocalist Laura Davie, who steps up to deliver a performance that ties the record together.
