MK next up to mix Defected's In The House series

Marc Kinchen has mixed the latest instalment in Defected's In The House series.

Known more for his original productions and remixes than his DJing—in fact, he rarely DJ'd at all in his early years—the release will be Kinchen's first commercial mix.Defected presents MK In The House is heavily focused on the producer's own remixes and dubs under the name MK. It contains a number of classic tracks, such as 1993's "Love Changes" featuring Alana and the MK dub of Jodeci's "Freek'n You," first released in '95. There's some brand new material, too, most notably Kinchen's own remixes of The Pet Shop Boys' "Can You Forgive Her" and FCL's "It's You."

A press release states that the two-disc mix was recorded in one long session. "A lot of my DJ friends, I thought they did their mixes and podcasts live, but a lot of them use Ableton," Kinchen says. "This was the first time I did it that way and it was pretty cool for me." Defected also revealed that Kinchen is working on a live band project with Hot Natured member Lee Foss and vocalist Anabel (the three of them have already teamed up on "Electricty," disc two's closing track.) The digital version of the mix comes with a bonus 10-track release featuring MK remixes and original productions.

Marc ‘MK’ Kinchen shows FACT TV how to make an MK Dub (part 1)

Marc 'MK' Kinchen has been one of house music's most distinctive and celebrated remixers since the early 1990s.

A hero to generations of house and garage producers -- most notably Todd 'The God' Edwards, who's claimed in the past that without MK there'd be no Todd -- the way MK chops up vocals, syllable by syllable, to say entirely new things, has contributed to countless classics, and is a trick that's been used by everyone from Burial to Mount Kimbie since.

One of the modern producers most inspired by MK is Hot City's DJ Haus. The biggest Kinchen expert we know, we put Haus in the studio with MK last week, with two aims: to come out with an MK remix of Haus's 'Needing U', and to produce a video where MK shows FACT TV how he makes his remixes. For fans of Kinchen and garage, and budding producers in general, this should be an education and a half. Here's part one.
