Essentials: “Take My Chance” – MK

MK is reminding everyone that love is worth its risk on “Take My Chance,” out now on Ultra Records. 

Capturing the vibe of euphoria shared on ’90s dance floors isn’t something Marc Kinchen is shy about. He’s been materializing music in this realm over his long-spanning career, revitalizing the sound for a modern era with tracks like his 2017 anthem, “17” or his “Electricity” remix for Silk City & Dua Lipa.

2023 has seen MK reach new heights, with a string of hit singles emphasizing the producer’s artistic legacy. Earlier releases include his trifecta of a collaboration in “Asking” with Sonny Fodera and Clementine Douglas on Solotoko Records, alongside the Dom Dolla-assisted “Rhyme Dust” on Ultra Records, which achieved #1 on Beatport and Triple J Radio and an ARIA nomination.

Fittingly iconic for a legend that reigned on US Billboard’s Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1993 and 1994 with “Asking” and “Love Changes,” MK re-emerges as the solo star on “Take My Chance.”

Soulful piano chords harmonize with vivant vocal work, preaching unison and unyielding hope. Communal chants intertwine with a shoulder-to-lean on friend emphatically expressing that life and love have meaning.

Symbolizing the song’s namesake, a pair of dice appear on its cover art- mirroring the message that even when we are down on luck, we can be empowered to take a chance on ourselves. Especially when we are moving our bodies on the dance floor, together.

MK continues to take a chance on his musical brilliance, whether in the studio or beyond. From humble beginnings in hometown Detroit, a city honored as a mecca in Techno culture, Kinchen continues to elevate rhythm and groove on DJ decks around the world.
