Through his Parkway imprint, crate digging DJ-turned-producer Mark Seven has built up an impressive catalogue of nostalgia-seeped EPs that universally sound like long-lost proto-house, freestyle and early garage-house gems from the 1980s. This three-tracker, the Gothernburg-based Brit's first missive of 2026, continues in this vein, once more foregrounding an authentic sound rooted in the mid 1980. Check first A-side 'Tru Love', a superb hat-tip to the early garage-house productions of proto-house pioneers Paul Simpson, Timmy Regisford and the late Boyd Jarvis - all synth organ stabs, thickset bass, Serious Intention riffs and glassy-eyed female vocal snippets. Over on the flip 'Dum Dum' is a sparser, heavier and more dancefloor dub style proto-house number, while 'Egyptian Groove' is a locked in peak-time thob-job rich in rave-era synth stabs and cut-up vocal snippets.
