Returning after a brief hiatus, Suffused Music sees an Australian collaborative pairing making their debut on the label.
An artist with a considerable pedigree to his name, Rodskeez is a renowned name in the underground dance industry. A DJ from his early 20s, performances across his homeland have seen him perform at high-profile venues including headline slots at Chinese Laundry alongside the likes of Gui Boratto, Guy J and Henry Saiz.
With over a decade’s experience and well over a century of production credits to his name, the Sydney based producer has found his music allied to some of the finest modern labels. A regular on the famous Australian, Vapour Recordings imprint, Mango Alley, Replug and Mesmeric have all played host to Rodskeez’s music, while 2011 saw a Sudbeat Music debut with “The Village EP” and remixes from label-owner, Hernan Cattaneo (alongside SoundExile) plus fellow countryman, Kasey Taylor.
Joining forces with fellow Sydney resident, Mars Monero, himself responsible for a clutch of releases on Sleazy Deep and Yes Yes Records, the duo saw a debut release on Mexican imprint, Sounds of Earth in September 2018 as part of the label’s 100th release, with “Chain and Anchor”. Now debuting on Suffused Music, “Ghost Limb” is a throbbing, soulful offering characterised by strong beat and rolling percussive groove that is enveloped in muted melodic phrasing and gently modulating pads. Evolving elegantly throughout with range of motifs and effects, a loquacious vocal line drenched in reverb and delay meanders impressively across proceedings with ease to add a strong dub vibe to the track.
Partner track, “Rust in Oil, Bones in Soil” continues the strong rhythmic cadence of its predecessor as an offbeat stab adds a touch of class to the head-shaking groove. A series of spot effects add depth and texture while a subtle vocal ping-pongs across the stereo spectrum in dizzying fashion. A dynamic bassline adds further to the dancefloor character in a track that is full of originality, technique and craftsmanship.
Two tracks from Rodskeez and Mars Monero find Australian talent fully represented on Suffused Music.
