markus suckut: figure spc s

Markus Suckut always delivers with his trademark reduced style, designed for heavyweight soundsystems and heavyweight DJs. This new four-tracker from the central Figure artist finds him in deep exploratory mode, working subtle, hypnotic hooks with a fresh and robust sound palette. "District" introduces the EP, with its bold bass rumble and minimalist attitude. The haunting electrostatic of "Rays" sets the geiger-counter off in an ultra-reduced tool for bass line-loving DJs. A rolling synth attack follows with "Mutation" -- inspired and controlled peak energy for the deeper techno crew. Finally, the hypnosis of "Decontamination" winds up this excellent EP with its technoid soul and killer bass-end.
