This is his third album on the label, and his second solo endeavour, which serves as a seamless continuation of his earlier work. His 2020 album, \u003ci\u003eOeuvre\u003c\/i\u003e, represented years of dedication and refined production, solidifying Mako's esteemed place within the Metalheadz family. Now, four years later, comes \u003ci\u003eOeuvre – Part 2\u003c\/i\u003e. This 12-track album is a celebration of Mako's deep passion for music, while also reflecting his sometimes disillusioned views on a modern era that often seems to pass us by. In a world where individuality can struggle to shine amidst an overwhelming flood of content, Mako's superior production stands out as a beacon, demanding not just recognition, but active listening. Mako's commitment to his musical community is evident throughout the album, with contributions from long-time collaborators Fields, Hydro, Villem, and Mikal, each bringing their unique expertise to the project. The album also features a special collaboration with the late Marcus Intalex, a friendship that blossomed in the years before Marcus' untimely passing and one that continues to bear fruit. Diving into the heart of the album reveals Mako's charm as a producer: from the captivating vocals in 'Feed You', the sleek homage to techstep in \"Suspension', to the pure dancefloor energy of 'Direct Source', a track long favoured by Goldie. As expected, Mako also delivers deeper, more contemplative pieces like the album's opener 'True Expression' and the graceful melodies of 'Overshare'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1.

There wasn't even the excuse of a pandemic this time!  True, but Mako \u0026amp; Mr Bristow think you'll agree this one has been worth the wait with its double A-side payload of two soul-drenched sister-funk edits.  \n\nFirst up is  One Sweet Bomb  – which subtly tweaks the source material's arrangement and applies extra bass and additional drum leverage so it can go head-to-head with the best of the golden age of soul.  \n\nOn the flip, Why Do You Bass Me Up?  is an uptempo funk dancer that was released in its original form with no bassline whatsoever!  If only it had had one though - what might that have sounded like?  If only Mako knew a bassist who knew sixties-style soul basslines.  Wait a minute...of course!  Former Big Boss Man bassist and Mako's sparring partner before Mr Bristow - The Hawk - a man steeped in the playing and creation of sixties-style basslines!  A quick phone call later and Hawk was sent a tweaked arrangement of the source material to 'sit in' with on his bass and see what he could come up with.  The results are conclusive – it's another banger!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Breakbeat Paradise","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\"","offer_id":50903647879499,"sku":"2234632","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_8e4967a7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732808615"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/mako.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
