State of Flow: Mark Knight

/in /by

“Flow” is a scientifically recognized state of mind where a person is completely focused and immersed in what they’re doing- All time seems to stop, the whole world seems to disappear, and the person is performing and creating at their peak levels. Top performance athletes, engineers, and especially your favorite music artists all try to do whatever they can to achieve the State of Flow. Although everyone has their own method to achieve “flow”, factors such as creative workspaces, learning beyond their craft, physical/mental well-being, feedback/self-evaluation on work, and resting time- help all artists create their best work.

In this installment U.K house producer star, Mark Knight shares with 6AM how he achieves key factors to get to a State of Flow when it comes to projects like his recent release Daddy Shhh that released on September 23, 2022 on Toolroom alongside Crusy, and his next upcoming single The Music Began to Play alongside Armand Van Helden that will also debut on Toolroom Records on October 7th, 2022. Both singles are available to purchase through Beatport.

Antwerp’s Maxi Meraki Applies Taste to Talent

/in /by

Funky feels from Antwerp’s Maxi Meraki, targeting the Balearic hot spots he’s become accustomed to with deep, focused house composing suave vocals and pianos striding about the place with a splash of salsa to them. While there’s plenty of grooves as standard from the Roger Sanchez, Mark Knight and BLOND:ISH -supported spinner — springy bass, a warm blast of synths on a breakdown of calming motivation — Meraki builds an aura and gives the track time and space to explore itself, as per the knowledge-of-self lyrics.
