Intruder (A Murk Production) feat Jei ‘Amame’
From Defected:
Now and again a track emerges that is effortlessly cool as well as being an out and out show stopper. It happened this year in Ibiza with Intruder ‘Amame’, each time it was played there was a constant enquiry of ‘What’s this tune’ and ‘how can I get hold of it?’
Amame has been floating around a very select DJ circle on limited vinyl pressing for some months. This is a Murk production from Oscar G and Ralph Falcon under the guise of Intruder, a guise that has re-emerged after some 20 years after it was first conceived.
Any Murk production is a rare thing, and a record of this quality and breadth of appeal is perhaps even rarer. Straddling the often tricky to navigate border between house and techno without difficulty, it features one of the most hypnotically memorable vocals of the year courtesy of Miami vocalist Jei.
It was early tracks like ‘Reach for Me’, ‘Liberty City’, ‘Some Lovin’’ and ‘If You Really Love Someone’, that gave Murk their first major lift upon release in 1993. Later came ‘Fired Up!’(‘96) with its powerful signature vocal under their Funky Green Dogs guise which became their biggest hit and turned them into big stars of the early 90′s.
Now 20 years down the line Intruder ‘Amame’ is being championed by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer, Seth Troxler, The Martinez Brothers and even Ricardo Villalobos, ensuring that all those loitering around the booths of DC10’s closing party and Fabric’s birthday were enquiring of its story. Now the story can begin to be told…
