MAKCIM Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Amsterdam's Apollonio-affiliates Makcim & Levi Verspeek collide to create a three-piece of sultry, slinked-out deep house. The finesse is real: "Bass Storage" sasses with a sense of dreaminess that's anchored by some (as the title hints) serious low end grunts, "CDV" is a special dedication to the most roboticised of souls with its angular but sexy drum funk while the brilliantly-titled "Blorpflap" closes the show on a freaked out 23rd century P-funk odyssey. Stupidly hot.

Review: Having notched up releases on the likes of Raum...musik and Apollonia, Makcim & Levi make the move to Lazare Hoche to deliver another shedload of hard-grooving house bombs for the deepest part of the night. The 1055ml EP is a mixed bag that leads with the title track, which encapsulates everything that's great about the stripped down house sound that Lazare Hoche is committed to. "Sandwiches" meanwhile is a quirky, bugging jam that wriggles under the skin in the most subtle of ways before "Sowhaa" brings a much more hypnotic, pad-laden blend to the table for a soft landing from this feisty 12" of forward-thinking 4/4.

Review: Funky smokin' trax hit the wax on Amsterdam's finest Remote Area imprint with Makcim and Managemend's 'Lithe'.
Makcim has been on the scene for more than 10 years. Makcim's style is a mixture of deep, rhythmic, sexy, chunky music.
