Shred is an Electronic album by Skee Mask, originally released in 2016.
About
Zenker Brothers' Ilian Tape label is known for particularly immersive techno, and the debut album from Munich's Skee Mask is no different. His rhythms run the gamut from breakbeats ("Shred 08," "Shady Jibbin'") to cavernous club stompers ("Backcountry"); the dusky "Autotuned" has the lumbering gait of early dubstep, while cuts like "Melczop 2" and "Panorama" bring to mind early Warp releases. The synths are the unifying factor—richly layered swirls of analog-inspired tone that tip the album back toward ambient territory. It's the perfect album for daydreaming while dancing, and vice versa.
