From there the thumping beats swing until the end of the album – sometimes accompanied by a little trippy sonic colour, sometimes devoid of anything but filters, echo and decay, and sometimes paired with cavernous claps, but always with a solid, ground shaking resonance and, more importantly, a noticeable analogue vitality. Although the bold forms Skudge produce are optimised for maximum dancefloor impact, there’s also a deftness to their designs: sounds and vocal snippets are subtly, selectively employed to imbue each loop with an extra infectious sense of swing; or to underline a groove or accentuate an emotion. Once you enter into Phantom, then, you’ll be in no hurry to get out the other side. This set was recorded live from 04.00 - 05.00 am in the morning ! [/i]
