Press Info:
Once again NovaFuture and Mark Groot will team up to premiere Mark Groot his new work. Mark Groot will release his new EP ‘IC149′ exclusively on NovaFuture. The concept is simple, Mark delivers you one track every Thursday. This time there will not only be original tracks but also remixes by other producers included.

For those who don’t know Mark Groot yet, Mark Groot is a producer and DJ based in Amsterdam. The man released already quite some EP’s, tracks and his first vinyl release will be a fact soon. Besides this Mark already played some gigs and will have his first couple international gigs soon. One to keep in mind.

His track IC149 was made on a long train ride from Berlin to Amsterdam. The sound would be best described as complex, deep and direct hitting.

The first remix of the EP is by Amsterdam-based DJ/producer and founder of the Format label Juan Sanchez. Juan is frequently on studio lockdown, having released numerous cuts on labels such as Stockholm Ltd, Wolfskuil and Drumcode Ltd. amongst many others. Aside from producing Juan performed in a wide variety of venues and festivals including Berghain, Awakenings, HYTE and Time Warp, to name but a few. Juan definitely gave his own twist to its original. Energetic and minimalistic would be the right words for it. This is what makes Juan’s remix a very effective DJ tool.

The last remix is by Deauwd. This talented Amsterdam based DJ and producer has already established some great things. His first released EP on ‘Float Records’ got picked up pretty well, with support of Ben Klock in the Boiler Room at Dekmantel Festival last year, this man is on the right track. The remix of Deauwd shows us his quality. Analog machines forming deep and hypnotizing sequences. With the instrumental influences Deauwd gave great depth to the remix.

Press Info:
After 4 weeks and releasing the track “Organic” Mark Groot’s recent project with Novafuture ends here – his EP “Influence” is complete.

Here’s what Mark has to tell us about the tracks of his EP:

The first track of my EP ‘Influence’ was something new for me to make. A 122 BPM track with a duration of more than 7 minutes. Easy listenable but still very moody If you ask me. I actually always wanted to make a track like this. After releasing the track someone sent me a message on Soundcloud saying: “To me this is the perfect track, the one you can play on repeat and nobody notices it’s been on forever.” This was a huge compliment for me cause this was the exact feeling I wanted to create. I’ll let you guys decide If I succeed. My biggest influence of this track would probably be the tracks of two producers. The first one would be DVS1. He is a master in using very few elements and still make you forget the perception of time. Second influence was a demo of Yogg I heard. This was for me the direct reason to start making my track ‘Directions’. I remember hearing the track while I was at work. For 7 minutes I was fully focused on how he let his track develop, just awesome.

Track two, ‘Centered’ is a track I really enjoyed making. I think in this track I’m strongly influenced by some tracks that all got that nervosity in them, but still are very flowy. Tracks made by Faithless or Ben Klock for example.

The track ‘Man in Jungle’ was really a track of which I had no idea how it would turn out. It was just pure processing. So just starting a project and see where it would end. But still I think you can clearly hear some influences in this one. On the one hand you can hear that beeping sonar ish techno sound but on the other hand there is that African percussion influence.

My last track is called ‘Organic’. Its named liked that cause of the way it was created. Also in this one I used very few elements. Once I got all the elements I pressed record and created the track just with a MIDI tool. Felt very organic and natural to make this one. When the question came what my influences were in this track I had to think for a while. I think its just electronic music in general what influenced me. You can hear the repetitive pattern electronic music can have clearly.

Last of all, very cliché but very needed, I wanna thanks Jürgen, owner of Novafuture, for this great collaboration. Hope to do many more 😉

You can buy the EP via his Bandcamp.
