SKUDGE 013EP
|
Clear/Wasp brings back memories from when Skudge combined and reduced both techno and house in a flawless way. They also utilize samples that in another context would have felt misplaced in a very classy manner. Clear shows from the first note the resemblance of the now-classic Skudge sound optimized for the floors of today. On the flip is an attention-grabbing and tension-inducing track "Wasp" which manages to evolve in a hypnotic and erratic sound. Something that feels fresh in the hands of Skudge. For fans and newcomers alike, this is a faithful Skudge record that will stick around.

SKUDGE 011EP

Summing up 2017, Skudge dug through the archive material from the formative years of 2009 and 2010. For the keen ear and reflective soul, the basis of the much-liked Skudge sound is present here in an updated, perhaps more refined record. While working hard to pursue a specific set of labels, sound, and aesthetic, Static/Memories presents a welcomed look into the retrospect of their unique sound.

SKUDGE 008R-EP
|
Solid, powerful and eclectic... Skudge has yet again delivered a fine remix 12". This time there's a remix from Blue Hour, whose slamming production work on his own, self-titled label has been delivering some of the finest techno in recent times. Blue Hour's remix is a pumping and pushing reinterpretation of "Hunted". Skudge invites Parisian Brawther to lend a remix on side B. He literary beefs up "Below" with his "Steroids Remix". Fine tuning the original's core elements he also adds a mix of modern, rugged and dusty grooves: a perfect mixture of both house and techno.

SKUDGE 002LP
|
Skudge present Balancing Point. When the duo Skudge started out in late 2009 with their first release on Alphahouse, followed by a string of underground hits on their own label Skudge Records, little did they know that they would be in the forefront of the Stockholm sound of the dawning 2010s. Complex rhythmic textures, combined with an echoing audial lightness, sub intense quick basslines and swirling percussion is considered their trademark. This updated take on the techno and house crossover was soon appreciated and caught the attention of a full spectrum of artists. 2010 alone saw six releases from the Skudge hub; Culminating in 2011 with the release of Phantom (SKUDGE 001CD/LP), the full length album release on the home imprint, followed by the sub labels that releases other artists as well. Five years from that era, Skudge has reshaped into the solo work from one of the original artists. This change of production and artistry launches into the crates with the release of Balancing Point. Skudge's sound has shifted into a new territory. The entire A-side of Balancing Point acts as the beginning of this grooving whirlpool of a record: quick and immense. The UK influences that were formed in the '90s are infused through the B-side, ending off in an almost orchestral piece. The delicate subtleness of Balancing Point showcases a familiar coming-of-light type of style that leave the listener sure of the future. "Polar" features Samo DJ. Edition of 500.

SKUDGE 007EP
|
It's been an unusual while since the elusive unit had a new record out, but after an extensive row of live shows and remixes, Skudge surface once again with a double-tracker containing some of their deepest joints yet. With "Irie" finally available on wax after the Nonplus fifth year celebration, the band plays with contrast, crafting a warm and yet sinister mental floor killer, while "Faux" ventures into more abstract melodies with one of their hardest drives ever.

ECHOCOL 016EP

Skudge present some different tracks for Echocord. On quick listen, their atmosphere, which they have been refining over time, is present, but it's delivered and hopefully received as a more calm but tense one. Over all, their First Observation EP is a first step into a second dimension. It also includes a deep and dubby, powerful remix by Conforce.

If you are going to run a remix series of any worth, then you better be coming with the goods. Skudge have done it again, with this beast of a 12". Berlin dub king, Substance fires off a huge side, overturning "Overture" brilliantly. October & Appleblim do it Bristol fashion with a gritty twist-up of the album track "Real Time."

SKUDGE 001CD

Stockholm's biggest sound Skudge drop an immaculate studio mix of their Phantom album for CD format. The result is a dramatic listening experience, demonstrating why their music has been so popular with all kinds of deep-minded deejays the world over. The mix includes the unreleased track, "Breaking Strain." Formed in the summer of 2009, the duo have moved out of near anonymity to become precious favorites of deep, warehouse-styled house and techno fans. Their output to date has molded together classic ideas and modern aesthetics with a keen sense of minimalism: their looped soundscapes are often bare, but never lacking, and the intersection between house and techno seems to be the point at which the duo most often find themselves. As a result, that's the area most explored on their debut album, Phantom, which conjures up exactly the sort of adjectives you should imagine given its title. It kicks off with eerie chambers of grainy sound, synth melancholy and frosty mists that hang in a beatless air for just over three minutes. From there, the thumping beats swing until the end of the album -- sometimes accompanied by a little trippy sonic color, sometimes devoid of anything but filters, echo and decay, and sometimes paired with cavernous claps, but always with a solid, ground-shaking resonance and, more importantly, a noticeable analog vitality. Although the bold forms Skudge produce are optimized for maximum dancefloor impact, there's also a deftness to their designs: sounds and vocal snippets are subtly, selectively employed to imbue each loop with an extra infectious sense of swing or to underline a groove or accentuate an emotion.
