After an eight-year hiatus, Mark Williams returned in July with Bring You Love on Ben Sims imprint, seeing a flurry of club support from Surgeon, DJ Bone, Alienta, Rodhad, Tasha and many more. Now, the Hardgroove proponent is back with the Hornchurch Hustlers EP to close out the year. Kicking things off, Next 21s is a sledgehammer of a track. Raucous percussion, piercing stabs and a raging vox sample are combined with zealous abandon, making for an unbridled, passionate piece of peak-time techno. The dense percussion and a liquid D&B influence leaking through Sometimes follows before the rave-mania of The Groove Has Begun takes the energy up even further. Closing out with the brilliantly jazz-inflected broken techno of East Side Dub and the imposing but largely beatless modern soul of East Side - Part 2, this is Mark Williams at his most inventive.
