Mark Henning - Stash House EP

  • Share
  • For his new label, Swing, Mark Henning is eschewing DJ promotion and extensive A&R ops in favor of releasing (mainly) his own club bullets. "Stash House," like the rest of this EP, has a bedrock of thick, chewy bass. To that Henning adds a yawning low-end synth and an indecipherable, repetitive vocal sample. The same heavy, propulsive kick also opens up "Exit Acid"—they're so similar that at first you may confuse it as a section of the opener. What sets it apart is an elastic bass, which uncoils then snaps back, arriving on the scene. "James Hughes Blues" locks into a simple, steam-driven groove early on and stays there. As a result, it lacks some of the nuance of the rest of the EP. "The Horror," appropriately enough, echoes with creepy John Carpenter-style synths and threatening strings. It rounds off an EP of unadorned but incendiary dance floor weapons.
