PARTIALS / MACH
12 Inch
15.07.15
returning home after the acclaimed holding ep and the highly regarded clap clap remix, lurka continues with his journey into sonic bat country. partials kicks off with lurka’s typical intrigue, pads swell with distant spectres of percussion build into the most saturated kick of the year slapping you in the face like wet rag, while an architecture of syncopated hats and bit crunching snares lock the angles a shower of haunting bells falls. dancehall for witching hour. mach steps in with an equally holo-deck soundscape. drums swing in awkward alliance with dry wooden blocks and woozy binary language. both tracks united in their skewed viewpoint and distinctive awkward funk.
bristol acetate carver and drum major, lurka launches his black acre debut with three unpredictable drum machine battle drills. kicking off with *holding* a technoid inflected dancehall pounder with a relentless low-end theory. the anxious heartbeat littered with schizophrenic percussion and alarm bells bursting into an undead army marching anthem. with *nah so* we are back on slightly more familiar turf, crushing kick drums perform the body blows under intricate hi-hats programming. *kmt* the most meditative of the three with nods to alan howarths bleak synthesiser work while high-fiveing schooly ds drum machine.

FORGOTTEN ONES / REFRESHER (10 INCH)
10 Inch
04.05.12
still riding high after the success of his debut releases on black box sister labels xxx and box clever, the prodigal son returns home with two aurally sturdy, yet adventurous riddems. >forgotten ones< is a distant distress call from a long lost dead deep space vessel, here lurka mangles the half step template into a barely recognizable entity. the abyssal kicks and snares are orbited by skittering percussion, while undead samples drift over the basslines encoded computer language. >refresher< sets out its stall with drums for a post-apocalyptic tribal initiation. as we travel through the desolate soundscape cracked digital artefacts litter the path while half spoken lost voices lead us to a cascade of sinuous low-end theories. ample proof here why lurka is seen as one of the torch-bearers in the bass scenes creative renaissance.
RETURN (10 INCH)
10 Inch
29.03.11
2011 looks set to be a big year for lurka. following the storming success of his debut >tempted< on black box, he has cooked up something rather special for box clever. >return< sees lurka on a deep, tribal tip, building the tune around the solid kick/sub foundation as he slowly adds elements to the mix. first the hats and swooping white noise, next the dark incidental fx, then retro edits and filtered breaks - a heady combination that leaves the listener transfixed. lurka keeps the mood meditational with >stabiliser<, layering tight percussion lines to produce effortless movement. crisp handclap beats are swarmed by shakers, finger-snaps, and loping bongo-riffs in a masterclass of drumwork execution.
