Sales Note
Berlin, Funkhaus based electronic record label and music studio Bright Sounds enters their 10th year of business in 2023. And this marks the perfect occasion to team up with another long going techno institution, Skudge. Starting as a record label curated by two Swedish gearheads releasing their own studio jams in the late 00's, Elias Landberg is now recognized as one of the most steady techno producers of modern times.
For Bright Sounds he crafts another batch of his impeccable flawless techno grooves. Stripped down and warm at the same time, it's another masterclass delivered by the inexhaustible Skudge lab of functional techno. More

Who would be better suited for remixing the Skudge classic? It's not a far-fetched idea, as we now see the remix 12" of Convolution featuring Levon Vincent. Classic late 00s Levon Vincent style of rhythm and pace meets Skudge's hallmark sound.

Who would be better suited for remixing the Skudge classic? It's not a far-fetched idea, as we now see the remix 12" of Convolution featuring Levon Vincent.
Classic late 00s Levon Vincent style of rhythm and pace meets Skudge's hallmark sound.

It's been over a decade since Skudge took charge and urged us to "Give it all up". 'Convolution' forged two distinct genres while avoiding the trap of losing the attitude of both.
The track was a strong take on Techno and House simultaneously and brought something new and interesting to the table.

Fast forward a decade since this effort marked the beginning of the Skudge journey, which not only caught the middle ground between Techno and House but also the ears of fellow producer Levon Vincent.
Levon is a prominent name in the oceanic underwater funk, touching strands of Dub, Techno, and House.

Levon delivers two versions, where the Scream Version captures the UK sound of anarchistic basslines similar to 'Basemental' from '95, on the A-side.
Flipping over to the B-side, one can hear the 'Convolution' atmosphere echoing between Levon and Skudge respectively.

INFO

Kicking off with direct, subtle and in-tune basement dust, Skudge has managed to capture two weekend modes.

This is a soundtrack for either those apprehensive moments, where things start to fall into place and the crowd is rest assured that this will be a time to remember.

But Soundworks is also the soundtrack for those areas that turn party-goers into altered silhouettes, captured between strobe light flashes. Those types of situations, where the smoke and sweat meet in between the last dances.

From start to finish, the fourth album carries a sound that is coherent. What Soundworks means, is that all of the nine tracks on the LP are multi-dimensional, without losing traction. There are adrenal spikes but there are also drifters - most significant in the tracks 'Floating', 'Scape' and 'Likemind'.

All-in-all, what we have here is a return to form for Skudge, with a capital S.

Skudge suspectedly looked backwards to that well known label with a capital S, also founded and ran a few blocks away from the Skudge studio. One could presume that the A side, '97' hints of a past remembered, as where side B with 'Svek' delicately concludes the fourtheenth release from Skudge.

There's something about Stockholm...

Strong musical connections are to be found in most parts of the city, from early days inner city creatives, to the current outskirt and suburban nightly events, where past and present intertwine in a mix hard to find elsewhere.

This is a city with rich musical history. Some stories well known and other needed to be sought out. Some commercially successful and others secured in well selected record shelves over the world.

INFO

Skudge's back catalog features some of the finest moments from the 10's. Putting aside the powerful EP's, guest appearances and remixes, the album 'Phantom' initiated a consolidated, and perhaps a more liberated, side of the signature sound of which we are no strangers.

Perhaps the most difficult task in creating something is to follow simple truth's. The adrenaline spiked and dusty tunage from the Stockholm studio, has now been revisited in this new decade and reduced even further.

In this new series from Skudge, the tracks 'Pressure Drop' and 'Realtime' are remodeled and retuned. Not as a reminder of what has been, but more as a result of reaching a different conclusion and expression.

Concentrated on the skeletal parts of the originals. Rebuilt into alternatives that reflect a sifted and interestingly constrained sonic palette. This further shows how Skudge not only inspire the community, but are also inspired by their own history.

Skudge's passion for machine driven music and his artful approach to loops get reflected in this new release for Sungate. "Grain" and "Anyon" are two hypnotic, warm and dubbed out original tracks lying in that undefined area between house and techno. Smooth dub contours and slippery grooves for your enjoyment. Stojche's interpretation of "Grain" completes the release with an excellent dreamy and dancefloor-friendly remix. More

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 a updated, perhaps more refined record. While working hard to pursue a specific set of labels, sound and aesthetic, SKUDGE 011 presents us a welcomed look into the retrospect of their unique sound.

Solid, powerful and eclectic... Skudge has yet again delivered a fine remix 12". Blue Hour's remix is featuring on the A-side, where a pumping and pushing reinterpretation of 'Hunted' takes the lead.For the B-side, Skudge invited Parisian and underground House music purveyor Brawther, who literary beefs up ?Below? with his Steroids Mix. a perfect mixture of both House and Techno, a place where Skudge are coming from.

Fresh of the 'Balancing Point' LP, Skudge levitates into 2017 with tracks from a well-known place... Infectious groove and stabs reflects our most fond warehouse memories. The A-side track has that special Skudge vibe that managed to establish them as a force to reckon with. As proven with the LP from last year, things are sounding and looking as exciting as ever!

Three different takes from two different periods of time meet up in this acid focused 12". The record features two Skudge originals from 2009, optimized into today's standards. And also a classically trained Splice track, where a fierce drum pattern goes in parallel with the acidic bass line. A current take on a very classic machine.
