Skudge Records presents a remix package from Marcel Dettmann and bubbling talent Answer Code Request.
Bristol’s Elastic Dreams present its third release introducing Sheffield based DJ / producer, Nyra. “Uno 10″ is raw basement techno, shuffling along at a frantic rate and devilish energy. The thunderously low kick drum should bounce around most rave dungeons like a cannonball and the repeating synth shards and sizzling percussion keep you locked right down. Skudge provided a remix for this. Finally Nyra gets back on the controls for “So So Such” which is minimalist k-techno. Stripped back and rattling, with tight wood blocks and a nuclear throb resonating from within. This is a really strong, totally head-turning track for the very late hours and sure to get lots of kids scratching the heads and stumbling up to the decks salivating at the chops.
October’s new EP for Skudge is one for the warehouse: both in nostalgic and progressive terms, October seem to have recorded the timelessness and his soul into the forth installment of Skudge Presents. ‘Push’ accelerates and keeps on going until it ends, where a lot of weight is put on keeping the groove. Sparse vocal repetition, used perfectly as a glue for the beat, brings a lot of promise and delivers—this is one for those hours where everything comes together. A more personal track sees the light on the B side, where ‘Empire of Man’ is even more of a journey. Where a lot of music seem to focus on function, this track combines both function and style into perfection.

Dekmantel’s 5th Anniversary Series has so far been as finely curated and presented as you’d expect from the Dutch label, and this penultimate entry is no different with Skudge and San Proper introducing some dark techno business to proceedings. Swedish duo Skudge are on fine form with “Silent Running” delivering one of their subtly melodic productions that revolves grainily around one repeated and tweaked refrain. Given San Proper’s dedication to the label (he sports a Dekmantel tattoo after all) it’s little surprise the hirsute Amsterdam icon was asked to contribute and “Rattle (Station 2 Station)” is one of the best tracks on the series so far. A grinding, industrial beat mixes with dense vocals, synths, speech samples and plenty more. The end result is a perfect example of the kind of steamy, sweaty haze of late night damage that Mr Proper has made his own.

Skudge announces their new series Skudge Present, featuring their favorite artists. First out is Stephen Brown with two beautiful tracks. ‘Mini Mood’ is a one-of-a-kind type of track, where both inspiration from the past and the developments of the present gets equal space, resulting in something close to perfection. ‘Horizontal’ goes into a immense state, where melody is key, giving way for a floating yet pulsating groove. If the washed out term organic should have a place today, it would be here.

The final hurrah for Ann Aimee’s Inertia compilation sees four modern techno heavyweights add their exclusive sounds to the fold. Skudge are as economical yet efficient as you’d expect with their booming ‘Pollution,’ before Conforce designs yet more lush sounds with his deep technoid cut ‘When It Appeared.’ Restless Romanian Cosmin TRG confounds expectationst again with his rusty, rolling cut ‘Plaisir Interdit’ before Sascha Rydell gets a little spaced out on his kinetic and melancholic effort, ‘Rainy Days’.
Two track EP from unknown source by and The Artists Formerly Known As 19.454.18.5.25.5.18! Fond Of Rae is a crazy monotone techno track as we havent heard before. So freaking hypnotic that you think you hear sounds and changes which are not there… or maybe they actually are!? Relentless and banging with no mercy! Skudge turns it into Speed Bomb and gets it functioning for most techno floors with their effective and classy remix style.

New arrival from the [Naked Lunch] camp indelibly stamped with the production Boddika up against a Skudge refix of some vintage Instra:mental heat. “Grand Prix” arises with a cavernous subby bounce, the track is soon invaded by onrushing hi’s and kicks before swerving into a downward spiral of bass and rave stabs. A former [Naked Lunch] glory in “Vicodin” is revisited by Skudge, transforming the frosted atmospherics of Instra:mental’s original into a constantly brooding 4am wall rattler.

With shades of the joyous melodic soundscapes, ‘ACDise #2’ holds you in a hypnotic malestrom, as the lush, warped strings climb higher and higher, surrounding you with their beauty and intensity, pushing you ever closer to the eye of the storm, before it shatters into the brilliant light of a thousand crystalline pieces. The EP comes with a stripped down acid-cussive version from Swedish Techno machines Skudge and another storming remix from Gatto Fritto and a beautiful ambient track ‘Turn to Light’.
