After being originally brought into the Ghostly/Spectral fold for his excellent remix of Matthew Dear’s “Little People,” the UK-based producer Mark E is set to release his first proper artist album via Spectral Sound on May 16. Although his forthcoming LP, Stone Breaker, will be the producer’s first full-length to date, he has been crafting his brand of deliberate, infectious house music for years now with a host of releases to boot for the likes of Running Back, Jiscomusic, Endless Flight, and his own Merc imprint. Said to have happened upon some liberating free time about midway through last year, Mark E hit a creative stride and crafted what was originally planned to be a variety of 12″s, but eventually became the album’s nine tracks intriguingly described as “darkroom house that owes as much to Chicago as it does to the cosmos.” You’ll find Stone Breaker‘s artwork and tracklist below as well as a stream of the track “Nobody Else” from his 2010 12″ of the same title.
