First on Decks .de !!! SA007 sees Perc and Modern Heads create the first collaborations between these two core Stroboscopic Artefacts artists. The result is a punishing hybrid of Percs dubstep tendencies and Modern Heads cutting techno. A-side >Mendax< is cavernous. Built upon solid dub foundations, it spills over into grinding, metallic territory. If the titles to be believed it takes inspiration from the shady world of lies and deceit. The atmosphere seems to agree, theres certainly something mendacious at work here. B1 takes the EPs atmosphere and adds abrasion. In >Percdax< cold, hard percussion is layered over a bed of warm dub. Closer >Moddax< errs on the eerie. It skulks, is full of sticky bleeps and the result is unnervingly dubbed out. All three track titles share the same suffix and if this indicates that they also share one quality its that theyre best heard in the glinting shadows of a club just before day break. SA007 was craftily mastered by Artefacts Mastering, Berlin.
