Review: This is a collaboration that clearly elevates Markus Suckut and Elias to new heights, especially with the standout track, 'Museum.' The opening cut pulsates with a rolling, broken beat rhythm that strikes an irresistible balance between hypnotic and propulsive, a feat reminiscent of Skee Mask's granular, fragmented techno. The track's atmospheric depth is enhanced by subtle dub elements, creating a brooding, immersive experience. 'Dry Signal' follows, with deeper, more dub-heavy undertones, its echoing percussion creating a space that feels both spacious and restrained. 'Sunday Driver' offers a change of pace with a smoother groove, its wide, airy feel providing a contrast to the earlier cuts. 'Flake' closes with a jarring, off-kilter rhythm that leaves a lasting impression, a fragmented, textured finale to a release that maintains intrigue throughout.
Review: The second half of Markus Suckut's Sckt 09 release finally arrives after a standout first volume caught us up with the German techno veteran's latest explorations in the deeper end of the big room spectrum. 'Put Into Effect' is a perfect slice of wormhole immersion thanks to the insistent throb of the low-mid synth and the pneumatic glide of the atmospheric sound design, all the better to close your eyes and lose yourself. 'Contact' is a leaner cut with a focus on skeletal drum machine rhythms and subtle textural work, while 'Push & Pull' creates more daring grooves out of processed sonics for when you want to challenge the dancefloor a touch. Watch out for 'Realm' too, a low-key looper that sounds like an ideal pace-makers in the middle of a marathon set.
