After more than three decades of remixes, club records and chart hits, Marc Kinchen has finally put his name on a full length record. MK In The Night Again landed on October 30, 2026 through Ultra Records and Sony Music UK, and it is billed as the Detroit producer’s debut studio album: 16 tracks, 52 minutes, and a running order that doubles as a map of his modern career.
What is on MK In The Night Again
The album works as two records stitched together. One half collects the singles that rebuilt MK as a festival headliner over the last decade. The other half is new material that he has been testing on dancefloors for months before release.
The familiar side is stacked. There is “17”, the 2017 single that peaked at No. 7 in the UK and went triple Platinum. There is “Dior” featuring Chrystal, which reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 2025 and finished the year inside the top 40 of the UK year end chart. “Piece of Me” with Becky Hill, “Rhyme Dust” with Dom Dolla, “Better” with Burns and Teddy Swims, and “Come Find Me” with Clementine Douglas are all here too, alongside “One Night” with Sonny Fodera and Raphaella.
The new side leans on vocalists. Kareen Lomax opens the album on “Choice”, Tristan Henry fronts “Leaving”, Poppy Baskcomb returns on “Zone”, and Ty Dolla $ign shows up on “Obsession”, the most unexpected name on the tracklist.

Why it took 30 years
Kinchen was born in Detroit in 1972 and started remixing other artists in the early nineties. His rework of Nightcrawlers’ “Push the Feeling On” became a UK No. 3 hit, and his MK dubs turned into a blueprint for a whole strand of vocal house. In 2013 his remix of Storm Queen’s “Look Right Through” went to No. 1 in the UK and kicked off the second act of his career.
Speaking to RTÉ on release day, Kinchen explained that songs like “17” and “Piece of Me” were originally meant for a first album. He held back because he was not sure how albums would perform once the industry shifted to singles and streaming. He also called the record “a headphones album”, and described it as a kind of greatest hits wrapped around new music.
The Taylor Swift remix he turned down
The same interview carried the headline detail: MK passed on a chance to remix Taylor Swift. His reasoning says a lot about how he sees his position now. Turning a pop single into a club record worked for him in the nineties, he said, but today it risks alienating the underground fans who keep his records in DJ sets. Remixing the biggest pop names “has been done”, in his words, and it no longer felt like the right move.
Already road tested
None of the new tracks arrived cold. MK has been playing them in his sets for months, including his weekly residency alongside Calvin Harris at Ushuaïa Ibiza and a summer of festival slots that included Creamfields. The crowd footage he shared around the release shows exactly that: full rooms singing along to songs that were not officially out yet.
A worldwide tour is planned for 2027, and the album tracks are expected to anchor the setlist.
The verdict on MK In The Night Again
For a producer who built his reputation on remixes and singles, MK In The Night Again is less a reinvention than a statement of record. It puts the hits that defined his comeback next to new songs with a strong vocal focus, and it finally gives one of house music’s most influential remixers a body of work under his own name.
