Harmonic 313 is another brainchild of one Mark Pritchard. Mark has been producing quality music for a good 17 years. Recognised for his collaborations with Tom Middleton on projects Reload, Global Communication, Chameleon & The Jedi Knights to name but a few.
Mark continued the rich vein of form with his Troubleman project. An album 'Time out of mind' and a series of 12's were released on the Far Out imprint. Lullaby & Where we stand were released together on a 12 in 2001 and I have to say, this record is now a prized possession, if a bit worn out out now... as is Strike hard. Strike hard still stays in the record box. It's lived in the box for sometime. The sleeve is well and truly fucked, the corners gone proper dog eared, but those beats can still get the limpest and lamest dance floors busy. The get out of jail free card. Thank you Troubleman.
Mark once told me it took him days to write the drums on Strike hard. When you listen to it you can take it for granted how effortless those drums sound. I remember seeing Mark DJ at a night around that time and everyone was waiting for him to drop Strike hard.... he played a Hip-Hop set and when the Promoter asked if he was going to play Strike hard coz all the people there were waiting for it he had to explain he didn't have a copy. One of the resident warm up DJ's had to lend him his copy. I think he reluctantly played it, preferring to play his Hip-Hop records.
This is his latest project, Harmonic 313 and It's fucking great.... as is always.
Harmonic 313's "When Machines Exceed Human Intelligence" is out now on Warp Records.
