Fairly obsessed with Murk and frequently come across really great remixes and bits which perhaps don’t have classic status like various Funky Green Dogs/Liberty City/ interceptor stuff. Eg I randomly came across this amazing tripped out 11 minute mix they did [DSK-Feel so free (Murkatronic dub) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/iatWusqiHC8) What are your favourites beside those in the Reach For Me category? ---

This is an Oscar solo tune, probably my favourite of the stuff he’s done on his own. Still play this a lot.

I like this one a lot. Not sure if it was big at the time. There’s a dub too.

I’ll be honest, I don’t really rate their remixes at all. I think they did tons of crappy ones. As producers, they’re unmatchable, and I still play a lot of their OG productions. Funny how some studio bods are great remixers but mediocre producers (David Morales perhaps the best example) or good producers but mediocre remixers (see above). I can’t think of many that did both to a degree of competence (Steve Silk Hurley the standout IMO). Having said that, I do still play this.

Yes true that talents seem to weight one way or another. Sometimes people also do too many remixes, and I think that’s probably the case with Murk. That’s Romanthony one is belter. I have no idea if this was big at the time (I was 12 and listening to Green Day) but this one is a favourite.

That was one of the last really good releases on their label, so yeah it’s known and appreciated. I just remembered another great remix(having slated them for their terrible remixes an hour ago!)

Murk definitely had a winning formula of catchy vocal & bottom end.

Hmm, personally I think he’s borderline. Generally speaking, and there are obvious exceptions, his remixes were superior to the productions. The candidate I didn’t mention but should have is MAW, who did both brilliantly. Frankie definitely made some classics, but I’d put them in a generous handful, in comparison to his remixes. ---
