Serum vinyl

The minimal manner in which Ilian Tape issue their material makes it hard to decipher their exact intentions for the ITX series but it has thrown up some great music so far. Inaugurated last year with some archival material from Dario Zenker, the ITX series has seen Kowton remix Jonas Kopp in ambient mode and ushered in the debut of Italian producer Schiahri. This fourth ITX issue retains the focus on emergent talent with a quite excellent five track 12" from the superbly named Skee Mask called Serum. Described simply as a producer of "Off-road swingin' herbal jams" by Ilian Tape, whoever Skee Mask is they deserve this debut with all five cuts the sort of tripped out techno that will work on any self respecting dancefloor.
