Skudge

Although not as anonymous as they were in late 2009 when their first releases began to appear, Skudge still aim to keep a low profile. They like to let their music – and the connoisseur fans of it from Berghain DJs to Resident Advisor critics – do the talking. The duality of their music is what marks them out: it's built on simple, solid loops but is alive with a devilish attention to detail. Rather than breaking any given rules, they instead re-interpret those with which we are all familiar into something new and engaging that fits nicely onto the shelves of tastemaker record stores like Hardwax. April 2011 marks their biggest step to date – the release of a debut full length, Phantom. It's an album of bold, dancefloor optimised forms that deal in dusty warehouse vibes and cavernous chambers of grainy sounds. Often there are traces of trippy sonic colour; firm and infectious grooves or cloaks of filter, echo and reverb, but always is it imbued with exactly the richness you'd expect of analogue produced sounds. With support pouring in from peers and punters alike, Skudge are a duo only likely to attract more and more attention once their Phantom is out in the open: though they wouldn't have it that way, the music is just too good to ignore.
