BOND 12067LP
|
Markus Homm unveils his twelve-track debut LP After Dark on German imprint Bondage Music. An artist with a rich history within deeper house spheres and minimal territories, Markus Homm has been a fixture of the scene for over twenty years with a long list of appearances at renowned institutions, including Panorama Bar, Watergate, Kater Blau, and Tresor. Whether releasing stand-out solo material or collaborating with fellow countryman Mihai Popoviciu, Homm's continual evolution and development have seen him become a staple name within sets of the industry's leading talent. A regular on the imprint with a string of releases dating back to his label debut in 2012 as remixer for Miguel Lobo -- Atemporal, the Romanian-born, Nuernberg-based talent returns to Bondage-Music as he presents his first album on the label. Markus Homm: "The album came together over the period of the last few years. I wanted to find the sweet spot of timeless music you can listen to at home or in a club. A few tracks have been completed also during the worldwide lockdown two years ago, such as the track After Dark. Most of us had the feeling of being in a dark place in life, for myself I always knew things would get better and I was looking forward to the moment, that motivated and inspired me to make my first artist album. After these difficult times, After Dark, just look forward again, and feel new joy." After Dark, a rich collection of eight productions on the vinyl, the album is a carefully crafted project. Starting with "The System", Homm delicately introduces the deep and dubby textures he's so well known for and sets the tone for what is to come. "Generator" builds upon this foundation with a selection of deep, aquatic tones, while "Trespasses" and "Grauzone" subtly pick up the pace and energy, guiding listeners down equally hazy and captivating trips. "Blue Mountain" harnesses skipping drums alongside resonant chords, while title track "After Dark" is an exemplary display of the Romanian's ability to fuse delicate layers of misty pads, intricate percussion and resonant stabs. "I Wish" is a spirited and breezy journey through rich soundscapes guided by floaty vocals, while "Who Are You" concludes the physical package with a twisting production crafted for the after-hours. A display of deep textures, After Dark marks showcases Homm's signature sonics while offering new shades to his sound. Four vinyl-only tracks; 180 gram vinyl.

HIGH 061EP
|
This is Markus Homm's first solo EP on Highgrade, who has previously been a part of the successful duo, Homm & Popoviciu. "Channel By Channel" already foreshadows where this journey will end: fleet-footed rhythms meet sweet chords and result in a sunny house groover that immediately kills the blues. "Torn" is also built around an irresistible melody, while "Xpander" gets things moving a little faster and proves how skillfully he can create a deep groove from hand-picked melodic elements.
