MARKUS SUCKUT Schallplatten & CDs

Review: German techno mainstay Markus Suckut has been churning out tunes and high profile DJ sets since the 90s, always tweaking his own template while remaining true to seductive and loopy sound. His own SCKT label is now well into its second decade and still, he is finding freshness in the studio. The latest fruits of his labours include 'Observe', a stripped-back, economical and heady techno roller with dubbed-out drums. 'Illusion' has more swing thanks to the rolling kicks and fresh hits underneath icy hi hat ringlets and 'Alteration' then explores more of a dubbed-out deep house sound that is gritty but inviting. 'And Dreams' is dubby again, this time in a minimal style for those 5am sessions.
