Alkitran / Vary by Jonas Kopp & Markus Suckut - Stroboscopic Artefacts [SA006] FLAC download included with physical items

Alkitran / Vary

A 4 track techno | deep / hypnotic ep (32m 31s) — released October 1st 2010 on Stroboscopic Artefacts

Stroboscopic Artefacts rip into autumn with a masterful split vinyl. SA006 sees Jonas Kopp taking to the A-side with the punishingly good "Alkitran" and the flip side picks up where the Monad Series left off with Markus Suckut's "Vary". "Alkitran" writhes hissing and spitting into existence. Snares lash across the opening, to be replaced by subaqueous grumbles and whirling from above. The title "Alkitran" begs no translation; the track's sticky, black palette and viscous textures effortlessly communicate the notion of tar. Markus Suckut's "Vary" takes the opposite tact; his dark tones are built amid structures that are suffused with light and dappled with the grindingly ecstatic. This is superbly elegant techno that has refused to sacrifice any of its hardness in order to achieve elegance. The digital release contains two tools extracted by label owner Lucy. Striped down, but simultaneously turned up, he takes the tracks in a distinctly IDM direction.
