Mark Jenkyns returns to the Crosstown Rebels family with his latest release on their sister label Rebellion. Complete with a remix from label newcomer James Dexter, 4.1 is an array of tribal beats, exploratory percussion and mesmerising vocals.

Taking a divergent approach to his production, evocative vocals envelope a naggingly effective bassline and melody in title track 4.1. Jenkyns explains that ‘the track is something different, it’s a little groover with a hypnotic vocal perfect for outside parties’. On the flip, James Dexter has curated an ‘almost entirely different track on the remix, bringing his signature bassline to the space-age electronic samples.

Formerly a steel engineer, Jenkyns discovered his passion for djing and production after his first season on the White Isle. Earning his stripes through numerous gigs and a residency for Paradise at DC10, Jenkyns has had several releases on Hot Creations as well as; Suara, Of Unsound Mind, Lost and Viva.

A reputable figure within house music, James Dexter boasts an impressive array of previous releases on the likes of Poker Flat Recordings, Dessous Recordings and Holid Trax. These productions have earned James regular features and chart success on download sites, Beatport and Traxsource.
