MK chunky house set in The Lab
at #smirnoffhouse NEW
We collectively forgive MK for any pop-leaning sins the moment he drops into a set of pure, unadulterated chunk. This Smirnoff House session in The Lab is a reminder that before the anthems, there was just the raw, rolling groove. The setting is all bright lights and branded decor, but the sound is strictly warehouse. Anchored at a steady 127.7 BPM and weaving between the complementary keys of 12A and 5A, this is a lesson in classic, percussive house dynamics.
The energy skews heavily low at 69%, with mids at 24% and highs at 7%, crafting a sound that's physically propulsive without being aggressive. MK's mixing is direct and functional, letting the timeless drum programming and basslines speak for themselves in a seamless, hour-long roll. The tracklist is a history lesson. Armando's '100% Of Disin' You' in its various mixes is a foundational text of Chicago house, dropped here with reverence.
Antoine Clamaran's 'Do the Funk' and Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham's 'Rising The Sun' continue the theme of unshakeable, funky rhythm. Andrea Frisina & Irregular Synth's 'Dub City' is a deeper, atmospheric cut, while Scotti Deep's 'Brooklyn Beats' offers a longer, hypnotic ride. It's a set built on recognizable pillars, mixed for maximum dancefloor impact. He opens with the filtered disco of Gramophonedzie's 'Why Don't You,' builds a relentless groove on those classic Armando stabs, and winds down with the quirky synth work of Igluu's 'Stutter.'.
