Merkage

Whatever happened to the expression 'Merkage Merkage'!? If you dont know what im talking about, it was something that youths used to say alot and it meant many things. If you are interested, the 'Urban Dictionary' has more information. The basic internet translation would be 'pwned' i suppose. You don't hear it so much these days. Not much point 'merking' a person when you can just shoot/stab them.

Corruption of the English language aside, a true talent who markets himself as Merka has released a new album and its fucking wonderful. Its rammed full of proper breakbeats and tangible music. Don't get me wrong, i love techno too, but 'real' instruments will always be special.

For the time being its available only from Chew The Fat's website but i should imagine it will be on beatport/dj download and whatnot soon enough. Its well worth buying it from CTF however, they are a great record label who nuture new talent and are very deserving of your financial support.
