MARKANT 002CD
|
"Since more than 5 years, Carsten Endra -- aka Markant has turned his rounds in the electronic music scene. Idealism paired with unique sounds have left tracks. Almost 30 releases and an excursion to the national and international press of electronic music have been paving its way. In the summer 2001, the first CD album Infam was worldwide welcomed and another chapter was opened: The strict limitation was given up, and Markant was able to present itself to a wider audience. Typical Markant -- nevertheless different. While Infam carried an abstract handwriting, you feel the peace and calmness with this new album. Vice Versa is the logical continuation and reflection to CE's older works. An Hommage and reminiscence on a feeling, which he experienced at the beginning of the 90's with electronic music. Analogue warmth surrounds the listener. You feel like a friend in the first row. Dive into Markants emotional sound worlds and enjoy yourself. With Vice Versa, Markant is in the change and in balance."

MARKANT 23
|
"4 very varied tracks, from a dark, slightly industrial sounding escapade to nearly funky dubbed out ones, to an unusual breakbeat track. Limited as usual."

MARKANT 17
|
"#17in the Markant series of LP's, boasting it's own color-code (Yellow!) and slight formal development/innovation (although you'd REALLY need to train your ears to pick it up) from percussive volumes. Epic IDM twitter, well aware of the Warp/Skam/MaS/MASK/CI buy-now smile-later appeal of 'innocent' lazy bedroom micro-press peaks. I'd give the planned obsolescence rule at least few more months to kick in." -- Hrvatski.

MARKANT 14
|
Volume #14, which is the number that follows #13. Which proves that some things are the same, in every known zone of potential human thought. Carsten Endrass (aka "Markant") had produced many hours of music this year, and here's another one. It's got a very vibrant blue sleeve, which you won't have any trouble separating in your mind. But will you ever be able to say the same about the music? This latest release blurs together 5 tracks of aching synth melodies, with Carsten's chittery beat specifications running fast and then flow. I guess I meant to say slow. It's about a million miles away from "Cavity Job" anyway.
