Showtime EP by Mark Broom

Mark Broom's return to Radio Slave's Rekids imprint takes in four tracks that showcase the UK techno legend's sample-twisting style of house and techno. With a slew of EPs, LPs and remixes for Rekids and sister label RSPSX in recent years, Broom is one of the label's core roster and most in-demand artists.

Tough drums meet soulful, recognizable strings in "Klashjamz," a real blast to the past chopped up in creatively funky ways. The title track "Showtime" is next, its groove skipping and stuttering before breaking out into jazzy electro swing done right.

On the flip, broom brings in "HIGHNRG," a percussive, peak-time treat that expertly does what it says on the tin via a pulsating, rolling bassline accompanied by hypnotic vocals and infectious rhythm. "Jazz Ting" then closes Mark Broom's "Showtime EP," a hyped-up number with an earworm, classic & classy melody.

Techno, house, hardgroove, and rave, Mark Broom is one of UK dance music's legends and has a myriad of production credits to his name dating back to 1989. Warp, M-Plant, Hardgroove, and his own Pure Plastic and Beardman imprints are just a handful of the labels he's worked with, while studio collaborations with the likes of Baby Ford and James Ruskin have cemented his reputation as a storied and vital part of electronic music culture.
