Markus Sommer - Mystic EP

  • Share
  • Producers shine when their work channels a variety of influences. The best results come when artists combine eras and sounds in a way that sounds fresh—a focus on one classic style rarely yields anything as good as the real deal. Offenbach youngster Markus Sommer has shown an impressive versatility across his expanding catalogue, laying down deep house for Imprints, hazy electro for Pager and, with a new 10-inch for the Seekers sub-label Twig, an on-point blend of house and 2-step with a classy electro flair. On the surface, "Mystic Blues" might seem like the most straightforward track Sommer has released. It chugs at a brisk 130 BPM, yet feels laid-back. Catchy synth keys are the track's focal point, echoed by a melodic bass pattern. It's a simple but effective trick that gives "Mystic Blues" something to grab onto as drum fills and all kinds of zips and zaps rattle around. "Mystic Funk" is even more low-key, but less melodic. It revolves around skipping 2-step drums, which stop and start while pads come and go. Like "Mystic Blues," it's the sound of a talented producer with broad horizons.
