Boomkat:

Second drop from Mark Fell on the custom Editions Mego sub-label he's been given to explore his favourite house music tropes at length. The first Sensate Focus 12" made explicit the link between the avant programming of SND and the swung dancefloor gear that rules the contemporary clubscape, and Sensate Focus 5 deepens the dialogue. On 'X', sweeping synth-lines and pellucid keys, accented with cut-up vocal pressure, ride irresistible drum patterns that sound like they're being punched-out live on the buttons of a Casio, while 'Y' is on an even slinkier tip, with dainty UKG-style arpeggios hopskotching over steppers' kicks and claps. Skewed genius, recommended to everyone, but especially those of you who've always been attuned to the dancefloor dynamism latent in Fell's outwardly more "serious" work of yore. Limited copies only - so damn fine.


The Wire:

Editions Mego have added a further sub label, Sensate Focus, to their roster. The first release from the label is mysteriously titled Sensate Focus 10, and although there's little in the way of solid information on who Sensate Focus is, Mego head Peter Rehberg says "maybe" it's Mark Fell.

Rehberg describes the label as being for "music that could be played in nightclubs containing nice keyboard sounds and slightly unusual beats", and that Mego "liked the keyboard sounds from early House music, but had got bored of the rhythms. We did not want to throw the baby away with the bathwater, so decided to keep some things. So we kept the water and threw the baby away."
