Len Faki & Markus Suckut – Skulls [FIGURE051]
Markus Suckut has become one of Figure’s key artists over the last few years. His early work on Figure SPC stood out as some of the young artist’s strongest productions around, while his debut full length LP, ‘DNA’ released on Figure in May 2013, saw a maturing producer proudly sticking to his talents. Those talents clearly lie in deadly, reduced basement techno, sub heavy, rough around the edges, yet highly accurate for the dancefloor. This meeting of minds then, is somewhat of a perfect match. Len Faki’s renowned high-end production and impressive back-catalogue provide the rock-solid foundations for the ‘Skulls’ EP. Over 4 tracks and 2 pieces of vinyl, the pair go deep into their influences and come up with an advanced, designed and suitably seismic sound. From the reduced and spaced cuts like ‘Skulls 1’ & ‘Skulls 3’, the pair offer contrasting textures and rolling percussion amidst a remarkably weighty bass-end. Fizzing hats and tripping technobleeps then complement a snaking, tribalist vibe in ‘Skulls 2’ which also comes with a straight-up Dub version.
Len Faki – Basement Trax Vol. 01 [OSTGUUTT064]
Len Faki is no stranger to Ostgut Ton having mixed the label’s third Berghain CD back in 2009. The Basement Trax Vol 1 12″ signals Faki’s return to Ostgut Ton in impressive and diverse fashion. Lead track “Btx1” is dominated by the heavily processed treatment of some orgasmic sounding female vocals which are submerged deep in the mix and smeared greedily across the channels chased by whip cracking percussion. The flipside accompaniment “Btx2” is a tougher version with the tribalistic percussion gradually consumed by the vastness of Faki’s string arrangements and the final version “Btx3” sees Faki present a swirling mass of ambient calm.
