For someone who needs little introduction this compilation sure makes a loud noise. As if it wasn’t enough to help define the sound of House Music in the nineties MK now pushes forward with his excellent selection for Defected’s In The House series. Its taken almost twenty years for some of these sounds to come back into fashion, which just goes to prove it was all good in the first place! and is perhaps best typified by the opening number from MK himself featuring Alana ‘Love Changes’ with its joyous piano and soaring, soulful vocals. Then showcasing MK’s production prowess are his remixes for the Pet Shop Boys, Lana Del Ray etc while also featuring new artists such as Dusky, Amirali and Jamie Jones into the mix. The second CD then reflects more contemporary styles with Catz ‘N Dogz and Eats Everything making notable appearances, although the music always retains those deep, driving soulful aspects which undoubtedly spell out MK.
