SKUDGE-X02 by Taken

Two reapers of the Swedish underground in Elias Landberg of Skudge and Nihad Tule (NTTA11) unite as Taken for a debut release on Skudge’s own self-titled imprint. Recorded and mastered in just one day, the Terrorfish EP is an exercise in enveloping techno split into two dynamic halves. On the A-side, the title cut draws blood with its tinnitus inducing, acidic stabs backed by a throbbing 909 thud and some misty interference whilst on the other side ‘Halcyon’ draws us deep inside with spongier chords and bristled hi-hats offering a dubbier, more anesthetised feel.

Machines do speak a language understood and appreciated by humans. Measured by the success of Skudge, an artistic duo that has delivered a lot in a very short time. Combining their inspiration and talent through wires and analogue equipment, they seem to always present something new - in a very faithful style.
