Mkst Shmunt

Mike Stevens was a friend of mine from college who was a synthesizer freak and sound perfectionist. He'd take days and days to work out the perfect settings and drum programs for a piece. Eventually he was given an incredible Korg sampling keyboard by his parents as a bribe to stay in school. I collected recordings and sounds and everything I could as source material from him whenever I could. Scores of my tapes feature his intelligent sampling and sound creations. I can do no justice in describing how demanding he was on himself in arriving at the perfect sound and effect. He used his keen awareness of synthetic disco to keep it all away from sterility.

Mkst Shmunt is a mix from the Big Blur with Mkst, Shmuzorft [nl] and "Untitled" by -1348- [dc]. The result is a typically dense and overbearing melange of treatments and terrain.
