Pick of the Week: ‘Sink In’ by Amber Mark

Let me tell you, this week’s pick is nothing short of a revelation. Amber Mark, the bold and unapologetic artist who first commanded our attention with her 2022 debut, Three Dimensions Deep, has returned. Her latest single, “Sink In,” is not just a track — it’s a communion of sound and spirit, an invitation to experience the visceral pulse of after-hours grooves and an all-encompassing vibe.

Mark penned and produced this track herself, and it shows in every intricate layer. She’s crafted a rhythm that doesn’t just catch your ear; it ensnares your entire being, compelling you to, quite literally, sink in. The beat is anchored in a hypnotic, groove-laden bassline reminiscent of Giorgio Moroder’s disco mastery, yet transformed — shaped with jungle undertones and a 21st-century heartbeat.

And those piano flourishes? They swirl in the background, creating a landscape rich with emotion, suspense and the promise of dancefloor liberation. There’s a mystical quality here, wrapped in 808 beats that echo and reverberate, expanding the track’s sonic reach to feel like an immersive journey and a superb listening experience.

“Sink In” doesn’t just ask you to listen; it demands that you give in, that you allow the rhythm to take hold of you, to lead you to that place where time is irrelevant, and only the beat remains. Mark is giving us a taste of what’s to come with her upcoming EP, and if this single is any indication, we’re in for something truly exceptional.

If you’re as captivated by electronic dance fusion as I am, join us on The Progressive Underground every Saturday at 6 p.m. Here, we journey across genres — future soul, nu-jazz, deep house, B-sides, and those rare grooves you won’t find anywhere else.
