Various Artists - Defected Presents House Masters: Murk CD

Oscar G and Ralph Falcon, aka Murk, are a highly accomplished production outfit who have enjoyed close to two decades of experience within the house music scene. Formed in Miami (a house music mecca) in 1991, the duo were able to achieve a trademark sound which reflected sounds of their youth with the origins of their respective genre.

The early years proved deeply significant, laying a foundation for the years to come with tracks such as 'Some Lovin’', 'If You Really Love Someone', and 'Reach For Me'. 2011 saw Murk reemerge under the alias of Intruder and release 'Ameme' – a tune which received global recognition and went on to define the sound of that Summer. Defected's latest edition in their 'House Masters' series collates 20 of Murk's best-loved tracks and remixes in a definitive collection of primitive and influential house including ‘Been a Long Time’, 'Dark Beat’, and ‘Falling From Grace’.

As well as being an essential addition to the record collection of vintage house fanatics, this release also comes unmixed, unedited, and 100% deejay friendly. -J.M.
