Catching up with Marcus Intalex

In with their fourth instalment of the year, Soul:R are back with a huge 4 track EP and this time it’s from none other than the head honcho himself, Marcus Intalex. Known for being purveyors of the more underground liquid-rolling sound they show no signs of hilting this and Intalex really does provide some intense flavours to quench a thirsty heads ears with the latest offering in the Four:Fit series.

If you consider yourself a drum and bass head and Intalex hasnt been commonplace in your listening itinerary then we`d suggest re-think your strategy!  Anyway, with it being such a wicked release, we thought we`d have a chat with the man himself!

We are loving the new EP, some real stand out sounds on this one! How long has it been in the works?

I haven’t been writing as much drum and bass in the past few years as I have wanted to concentrate on the Trevino project. It felt like it was long overdue for an intalex release, so at the turn of the year I decided I wanted to release an Ep. There’s still a good number of tunes in the coffers that I thought were good enough but I wanted to write something fresh to give myself more choice. So it turns out that
half the Ep has been written in the past 3 months and the other half are projects I started about 3 years ago.

How do you tend to approach your productions, do you aim to display a certain style/mood?or does it just come naturally?

It’s very rare that I go into the studio with a defined idea. I tend to experiment with beat patterns or muck about with the synths until something sticks.

How would a typical day in the Intalex studio go, any rituals at all?

Switch it all on, press stuff, and hey presto. Seriously though, I just really enjoy the creation process. Some days the results are better than others but it’s difficult to remember a session that I didn’t come
out with something useful.

We`ve seen some great stuff coming from Soul:r this year, with Seba, DRS, Adred etc.. Anything else we can watch out for on the label?

Yea, LSB’s coming with an LP before the end of the year, more stuff from Seba, DRS, myself and various other artists

As the weather has been improving somewhat of late it reminds us that we are in festival season, anywhere you are looking forward to playing this year?

Yea there’s quite a lot happening with festivals, Nu Forms in Austria and Percezioni Festival in Rome lined up for July. I’m heading to Outlook which I’m sure will be fun. And there’s always Sun and Bass
which will be the highlight of the calendar year

Is there anyone you are feeling in the scene at the moment that we need to keep an eye on?

Obviously LSB is completely smashing it for me. Got some new tracks off Calibre last week that are next level and I’m loving some of the stuff from TI that’s borderline jump up but have the sickest grooves and
production.

Do you have any plans to get back on your regular radio show? We used to love listening to your RMBA show regularly a few years back.

I did ask Red Bull if they were interested in starting up again, but I got no reply. I think I’ve been sacked for not turning up for 3 years.

We’re a huge fan of your Trevino productions and it really shows your diversity as a producer. How do you balance your time making Drum & Bass & Techno? (And the golf of course  )

I don’t consciously balance it. I make a particular style when I feel like I want to. The break from making drum and bass has been good for me and the recent return to 170 bpm has been all the more fruitful because
of it.

Thanks for taking your time out of your busy schedule. Do you have any final words?

My life needs more golf

  • After a lengthy hiatus, Back of the Stack returns! This edition plays host to a certified legend of the Drum & Bass scene in @architexink who’s dark, dirty beats have been reverberating through London’s club scene since the late 90’s. If you can think of an iconic London club night, Ink has probably had a residency there; Metalheadz at Bule Note, Hardware at The End and Speed at Mars Bar were all on the list of dancefloors being torn up by Giles on a regular basis.

  • It’s difficult for us to introduce anything 2020 related with any sort of positivity, but just for a moment, lets forget about all the struggle and strive of the past year, and take some time to reflect on some of the finest drum and bass music the past 12 months has had to offer. 
.
Speaking on behalf of the entire In-Reach.co.uk crew, we are delighted to share with you our round up of the wonderful tracks released in 2020, that we feel have stuck the middle finger up to this insufferable year!

  • DJ Trace’s first ever release was back in 1991 - 30 years later and he
  • @symmetryrecordings kick things off in 2021 with a 4-track EP from DSP, with his Fake Worlds EP. 
.
To celebrate the release, DSP has recorded a meaty 1 hour mix that showcases his ability behind the decks. With sneaky double drops and tight blends, the mix consists of highlight tracks from the last year or two, forthcoming freshness (including, of course, some tracks from the EP) and some classics thrown in for good measure.

  • @temporec present their new next release from the legendary @source_direct - SPEED is a new Tempo Records sublabel & project released on a limited collectors hand numbered 180gram coloured picture disc vinyl with original & legendary producers who helped shaping the Drum & Bass scene.

Source Direct, along with Goldie, Photek, Peshay and Wax Doctor, one of a handful of stand-out artists who were signed to major labels in the wake of Jungle’s/Drum and Bass
  • This upload is an important one for us here at In-Reach, not only because we’ve got the opportunity to debut music from a label that we collectively respect so greatly, but also because it presents the music of one of the scene’s most talented, and most sorely missed representatives: the late Andy Skopes. This release sees the breakbeat assassin go slightly of course from his usual dark jungle style to team up with the ever-wonderful, and equally prolific Madcap in a luscious, but oh-so dangerous trio of tracks. These tunes are brimming with emotion, which stems both from the posthumous nature of their release, as well as the sheer elegance and tranquility of the music. We send our salutes to both Andy and Elliot on this release, which is a wonderful reminder of how, through their music, an artists soul can live forever ♥️
