Skudge present Balancing Point. When the duo Skudge started out in late 2009 with their first release on Alphahouse, followed by a string of underground hits on their own label Skudge Records, little did they know that they would be in the forefront of the Stockholm sound of the dawning 2010s. Complex rhythmic textures, combined with an echoing audial lightness, sub intense quick basslines and swirling percussion is considered their trademark. This updated take on the techno and house crossover was soon appreciated and caught the attention of a full spectrum of artists. 2010 alone saw six releases from the Skudge hub; Culminating in 2011 with the release of Phantom (SKUDGE 001CD/LP), the full length album release on the home imprint, followed by the sub labels that releases other artists as well. Five years from that era, Skudge has reshaped into the solo work from one of the original artists. This change of production and artistry launches into the crates with the release of Balancing Point. Skudge's sound has shifted into a new territory. The entire A-side of Balancing Point acts as the beginning of this grooving whirlpool of a record: quick and immense. The UK influences that were formed in the '90s are infused through the B-side, ending off in an almost orchestral piece. The delicate subtleness of Balancing Point showcases a familiar coming-of-light type of style that leave the listener sure of the future. "Polar" features Samo DJ. Edition of 500.
