SERGEY SUOKAS

Suokas – The New Cycle

«The New Cycle is entirely constructed with orchestral instruments. At times, its little rhythmic twitches can feel as otherworldly and micro-processed as Matmos or something on Matthew Herbert’s Accidental label. At others, the broader flow of its structures, and the way chords will rise up from muffled hints to hyper-present domination, seem enormously familiar from dance floor techno. Yet, if you listen closely, there’s nothing in it easily identifiable as digital. Though Suokas has used the studio in the construction of the record, there’s no sound on the entire record that couldn’t, in theory, have been played live by musicians. This ability to sound so recognizably techno, yet simultaneously so very organic, is downright uncanny.»
