Press Info:
The next instalment on SK_X sees Belgian producer Phara join his Voltage Festival member Border One on the series for a batch of expertly constructed, surefooted rolling techno. His Life Of Krumar EP comes after a string of releases on respected imprints such as CLERGY, Planet Rhythm and Stockholm LTD with a forthcoming EP on legendary Soma. Opening with the driving energy of ‘A1’, blending rampant open hats and surging synth swells to create serious tension. On the flip, B1 maintains the same force albeit with rougher drum-work whilst B2 steam lines it down to an insistent moment of dance floor delirium.

Press Info:
Third transmission of the SK11X series off-shoot helmed by Setaoc Mass comes via rising Belgian protege Border One. A staple figure of the respected Voltage Festival in his own country, Border One’s raw, insistent sound has seen him release on Key Vinyl, Form & Function, and his own self-titled imprint whilst also featuring on DVS1’s revered fabric mix. On the Restless EP however he hits his stride, steadily building intensity through restrained repetition and droning, hypnotic sound design on the opening pairing of “Crude”. On the B-side, “Derail” clashes harsher hi-hats to a looping, angst-riddled groove, whilst “Restless” releases the tension with its bouncier pummel and high-pressure torque.

Press Info:
’53 Degrees North’ marks SK_eleven’s seventh release, as Setaoc Mass continues to add to his flourishing imprint; this time with a two-part EP release. ’53 Degrees North Part One’ focuses its efforts on four-to-thefloor club-centric music the label head is renowned for. All four tracks are emblazoned with his signature, disparate pairing of light and dark sound palettes glued beneath rich, atmospheric textures and hypnotism – all the while keeping its muscular club chassis gleaming beneath.

Part Two of the double release sees Coates revealing more of his experimental side. The second cut pays homage to past influences of the producer as he floats between ambient, IDM and electro cuts with ease, all rife with emotion and passion.
