MK in The Lab: Home Sessions #StayHome
There's a specific, joyful panic that sets in when MK drops a track you haven't heard since 1998. This Home Sessions set, recorded for The Lab during lockdown, is a masterful tour through house music's feel-good archives. The vibe is pure living room euphoria—improvised and personal, a direct line to the dancefloor in our minds. Technically, it's a warm, rolling house session locked at an average of 126.2 BPM, harmonically centered on 12A with soulful detours into 7A and 6A.
The energy profile is overwhelmingly low-end focused (0.80), which tells you everything: this is about the bounce, the bassline, the undeniable groove that makes you move without thinking. The mixing is crisp and classic, using long, smooth blends that let the piano stabs and vocal hooks shine. The tracklist is a celebration of house in all its forms. The opener, Rnbstylerz's 'Like Wooh Wooh', is a seven-minute lesson in loop-based hypnosis.
He digs deep for gems like Macromism's 'The Walk' and Paolo Rocco's 'Not Scared'. The inclusion of The Shapeshifters' 'Lola's Theme' is a guaranteed smile-inducer, while the rework of Amine Edge & DANCE's 'Lovelee Dae' nods to the classics. His collaboration with Will Clarke, 'My Church', and Eli Brown's 'Escape' keep the tech-house engine running. The journey is a perfectly paced party: it starts with the hypnotic groove of 'Like Wooh Wooh', reaches a peak of unadulterated house joy with 'Lola's Theme', and winds down with the percussive, global vibe of HUGEL, BLOND:ISH & Nfasis's 'Tra Tra'.
