After an eight-year hiatus, Mark Williams returned in July with ‘Bring You Love’ on Ben Sims’ imprint, seeing club support from Surgeon, DJ Bone, Alienta, Rodhad, Tasha and more. Now, the Hardgroove proponent is back with the ‘Hornchurch Hustlers EP’ to close out the year.
Kicking things off, ‘Next 21s’ features percussion, stabs and a vox sample combined, aiming making for a peak-time piece of techno. The percussion and a liquid D&B influence leaking through ‘Sometimes’ follows before the rave-mania of ‘The Groove Has Begun’ takes the energy up even further.
Closing out with the jazz-inflected broken techno of ‘East Side Dub’ and the largely beatless modern soul of ‘East Side - Part 2’, this is possibly Mark Williams at his most inventive.
