“Wonderfully functional techno.
“I am not trying to reach perfection,” Markus Suckut says below. As a listener, you might think otherwise. Over the past five years, Suckut has become a master of powerful, precision-tooled club tracks. The German techno producer makes the sort of music that elicits almost existential questions—”How am I so excited by a kick drum and some hi-hats?” His best tracks come from the Robert Hood school of minimalism, where groove is king and arrangements progress through something as small as a cymbal line. Take his track “Hunt” from 2012. Basically, it’s just a monumental kick drum, a Basic Channel-style synth and some hats, yet it’s a potentially earth-shattering piece of music. Suckut has been exploring these sorts of moods on respected labels like Stroboscopic Aretfacts, Frozen Border, Horizontal Ground, Figure, Repitch and Mosaic, and he has a couple imprints of his own: Exile, which he runs with Johannes Heil, and SCKT, which he revived this month. On Heat On Feet, a recent release for Rekids, Suckut showed that his hand can be effectively turned to broken beats and lighter moods. But, as Will Lynch concluded in his review of the record, Suckut’s appeal is less about diversity and more about doing one thing extremely well.
On Suckut’s RA podcast he shows how this sound is best deployed in the mix, making subtle gestures with intense techno.”
