Martyn pays tribute to Marcus Intalex on new track ‘Manchester’
It's taken from his next album, 'Voids', out on Ostgut Ton
Dutch DJ and producer Martyn has paid tribute to Marcus Intalex on the first anniversary of the musician’s death with a track dedicated to him and his hometown of Manchester.
Out on June 22 on Berghain’s in-house label Ostgut Ton, 'Manchester' is taken from Martyn’s 'Voids', his first LP for the label. Dark, brooding, and bass-driven, the release brings Martyn’s pedigree in post-dubstep and UK garage to bear around a haunting vocal sample that goes ‘Deep, deep talent, and we’ve lost a big one’.
The Panorama Bar resident posted: “I met Marcus sometime around 1998 and our musical lives have been intertwined ever since. After his passing, I once again realized the importance of putting more effort into friendships and not let the people you love turn into Facebook contacts”.
There's a launch party for 'Voids' on June 21 at Berlin club Säule, featuring Doc Scott and Head High.
