Review: Mike Agent X Clark – In The House Club EP (Shadow Pressings)

If you were trendy 20 years ago, you'd beatin' down in the house club to names like Alton Miller, Theo Parrish, Norm Talley and Mike 'Agent X' Clark; and here is Mike doing it today 'In The House Club' on a new EP just out on Shadow Pressings.

By coincidence, I was chatting to this DJ is the car park before We Out Here festival this year and he was telling me how he and his mate had a club at the world famous Cavern and they booked headliners like Ron Trent (who was playing at WOH) and Theo Passish.  I thought I'd out-trump him as I'd met Mike 'Agent X Clark' in Bournemouth (apparently there was a connection with his management at the time) and yep, they'd had Norm Talley and Agent X too!

Already picked up by Marco Weibel (Darker Than Wax) on this Love Injection Takeover on Worldwide FM (see HERE) and if you were a fan of the Beatdown, you'll love this with it's life affirming spoken word rap of the joys of house from Detroitian Dr. Tinglefingers.

Three tracks plus a Jimpster remix (quite a bit different to his last appearance on YATM - see review HERE) and whilst you won't be disppointed with 'Get Up' and 'Fresh Air', it is the two versions of 'In The House Club' that's going to get the dancefloor going.

Big times in Detroit as the moment as there's 10 years of Rocksteady Disco (see review HERE) and the Tigers and Lions are winning!

Oh yeah, and it turns out there was a ground breaking club at the Cavern called T-funkshun with Scott McGill & Dan Bell - who knew - but, if further proof was needed, the EP is that proof that house is worldwide and still going strong: Detroit beatdown forever!
