2M 003EP
|
Marco Carola selects 3 distinctive cuts for the third release of his M_nus-backed 2M imprint with heavy-duty rhythm patterns. Earthy and tenacious, "The Tribe" features a chugging bass line and Latin percussion that merges into a liquid groove, occasionally punctuated by tricky drum fills, sampled shouts, and more. "Drumming" contains a complex drum solo at its heart, utilizing real kit sounds in a syncopated, jazz-style breakdown. A clicky kick pattern is joined by regimented percussion and a jacking organ/bass hybrid.

2M 002EP
|
The second release on Marco Carola's 2M imprint is another stone-cold exercise in floor control. These two tracks are essentially high-quality mixing tools with real crossover appeal -- heavy on percussion, punctuated by short, punchy synth stabs and propelled forward by endlessly looping motifs. Compact, linear grooves and taut, sinuous arrangements give this selection a slightly dark edge but Carola's instinctive feel for the groove is still there in abundance as he skillfully manipulates these close-knit sonic structures.

2M 001EP
|
Marco Carola christens his new 2M imprint (strictly limited to 2000 copies per release, hence 2M) with some ultra-cool tracks full of poise, presence and control. Carola is renowned for his smooth, rolling techno sound and finely-honed dancefloor instincts. "Re_Solution" features a quirky repetitive hook, infectious rhythms, ass-shaking bass lines and slamming snares. "Weekend" sculpts a smooth pathway through space and time, with beats that forge lazy, late-night patterns. A worthwhile addition to any record bag.
