Here's my Recoreview from April 7th...

. Markant #6 comp 12" (Markant)
A fine album of skam-like and v/vm-esque electronica and  d&b 
from this mysterious German label. Six tracks on this one ranging 
in style from jega-like dark rumbling slow breakbeats tracks to crisp
melodic gescom-esque electronica to smooth yet chaotic breakbeaty 
stuff ala v/vm. There are no artists attributed to his release but it
sounds so strikingly similar to the aforementioned labels, i would
bet my nosehair collection that they're involved. Regardless, it's a 
striking record but supposedly limited to 200 so get them while you 
can. 9/10


Markant #6 is a little more beat-oriented than #7 or 8 with several 
dark crunchy break beat tracks. It has six tracks so it's more of an lp 
than an ep. I would recommend getting it.
