Here’s an hour of sounds from experimental Russian producer Suokas, ranging from dissonant classical to free jazz and foggy stoner rock. His recent LP, 'The New Cycle', is something of a masterpiece – knitting groaning strings with clattering percussion in an attempt to create a new brand of acoustic techno. The only thing I can think to compare it to is Hans Abrahamsen’s staggering, snowy opus 'Schnee'.
The New Cycle fits nicely alongside Oliver Coates’ dancefloor cello workouts on 'Upstepping' (both albums are available on PRAH).
