Marks - Endgame (2020)

“You’d be hard pushed to find music more reflective of lonely, contemporary city life.”
– DJ Mag

Florida beat-maker Marks returns to Coyote Records this March with new 10-track beat tape, ‘End Game’ - his first material since acclaimed 2018 record, ‘Crush’.

Comprised of 10 lush and bewitching new tracks, ‘End Game’ melds together the looping, grainy textures of Marks’ signature sound palette with widescreen, open-ended scope and sharp flashes of cinematic flair. Heavily inspired by anime worlds and a love of video game aesthetics – a natural extension of the sound he first pushed on 2017 debut EP, ‘Drain’ – Marks taps grime, drill, dub techno (!) and the East Coast rap flavours of his home state right across ‘End Game’, carving out a sound that now feels explicitly his.

From the ruff-and-tuff, 4x4 kick of ‘Danse’ to skittish, sample-heavy grime (‘Double G-Rim’) and the booming, melodic rush of trap burner ‘New Ting’, ‘End Game’ draws the curtain on a trilogy of releases that have helped established him as one of the most inventive young producers in the game right now.
