Alec Chizhik & Markus Mehta - Monolith

Great Stuff

Release: 19.11.12

Alec and I were asked to be part of another exclusive Great Stuff compilation. This time it was for their more underground oriented Great Stuff Groove Series. The track we sent in is named "Monolith" and is a deep, trippy and forward moving early morning techno adventure.

Here's the full press release for the Great Stuff Grooves Winter Edition compilation:

Great Stuff Grooves returns to bring some electronic warmth into your winter, with a dozen hot tracks from producers across the world, both established and upcoming.

David Penn kicks off with a fusion of filtered fun and chunky techno intent on I get High. From there, Spanish trio David Amo, Julio Navas & Marc Maya whip up a sizeable tribal groove on La Policia, passing the baton on to Filthy Rich and his nu skool speed garage romp Rave In A Cave. Ridney keeps it on a UK tip with the euphoric pianos and arpeggios of 13:37, before Boris’ druggy Funky Bells shows that this compilation offers up deeper shades of techno too.

Need more funk? Mike Newman & Hoxton Whores’ Every Sound has it by the bucketload, as does Tom Wax’s rolling, refreshingly different acid-bassed Let’s Groove On. Roy Rosenfeld’s Knock Knock is just bugged-out as hell, resplendent of quirky grooves and messed-up vocals, leading us towards the measured big room pumping of Paul Strive’s The Chance. Raul Mezcolanza’s A Reality treads a similarly bubbly path, before Townston & Delgado take a more playful approach with the deft stabs of Groovesolution. It’s left to Alec Chizhik & Markus Mehta to give the compilation a more demure finale, with the subtle machinations of Monolith.

As ever, it’s a no-nonsense selection that’s aimed squarely at the dancefloor. It’s the sound of winter; only a little hotter...
