[psdtl005] Markojux - Too Little Too Late EP
Pinksilver stalwart and label co-owner Markojux (Mark Baumann) delivers his first full EP on Pinksilver Music’s Digital imprint with the sublime “Too Little Too Late” EP.
Weaving his way through luscious strings, dreamy piano chords and abstract vocals, Markojux stamps his unique style on this multilayered deep house release.
“Tech My Jazz” features the sublime piano keys of Colin Snape (aka Scrambler) alongside Markojux’s intricate drum patterns, delivering true avant-garde house that many electronic producers can only ever imitate.
“Just One Minute” continues the subterranean feel of the release, a track reminiscent of Hamburg’s Dial label & more famously Lawrence’s introspective, heart-felt melodies.
“Walk With Me” delivers another reflective, melancholy piece that sits proudly within the framework of the release, laden with a groovy 4/4 kick amongst wistful keys and pads.
The final track of the EP features Pinksilver favourite Miguel Colmenares with his remix of “Tech My Jazz”. Delivering his own inimitable & funky style to the table, Miguel makes “Tech My Jazz” sound uniquely his own to finely round-off a quality release from one of Australia’s most underrated producers.
For lovers of fine house music.

[psnet016] Markojux - The Cusp EP
Pinksilver stalwart Markojux returns to the label’s Net imprint with ‘The Cusp’ EP, a selection of dark, eminent techno cuts showcasing his versatile production style.
‘Rack Hoon’ is a journey into eerie sonic soundscapes, complete with ominous stabs and twisted hooks that are woven deep into a rumbling bass line.
‘Lysurgic’ continues on the murky ride into the night, sounds that are bare and bordering on the paranormal, full of warped samples and layers of thick, harmonious rhythms.
‘Friction Emo’ is a track full of tension and pressure, resistance and conflict - finding itself bent in sonic stabs and threatening pads. This cut is not for the faint hearted.
Closing out the release is a remix of Friction Emo by London starlet Truss. Known for his moving and more sinister take on techno soundscapes, he does not disappoint with his interpretation of Friction Emo, pointing to the glory days of Detroit but with a fresh and original take in 2010.
Pinksilver Net. Its more than just music, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a state mind.

[Pinksilver Digital 004] V-Sexion & Ntanos - Fault Day EP
Pinksilver welcomes exciting Athens duo V-Sexion & Ntanos with their debt EP on Pinksilver Digital entitled the “Fault Day’ EP.
In the fine tradition of rising deep tech-house producers from Greece such as Kreon & Lemos, V-Sexion & Ntanos deliver sensual, early evening rhythms infused with a touch of teched-up soundscapes.
‘Yarisnight’ is the perfect tool for those interested in the art of “Warm Art” – aquatic vibrations flowing like an effortless current in rhythm.
‘Latte’, as the name suggests, is an invitation for those early evening jam sessions with friends – melody & composition delivered with heart & soul.
Markojux’s remix of ‘Latte’ is simply stunning deep house tinged with swinging, luscious pads – tomorrow’s nostalgia in musical reflection today.
The title track ‘Fault Day’ continues the theme of the EP, showcasing swinging hats intertwined with melodious pads, the track straddling the EP’s left-of-centre avant-garde house roots.
The EP is rounded off by V-Sexion with ‘Raybirth’ – sumptuous rhythms that are straddled with luscious vocals.
Fault Day – a musical deliverance that is truly faultless - more than music, it’s a point of view on Warm Art.
