Back on own imprint, Skatebård delivers his trademark sound of house & techno with a pinch of italo. The extended version filling 10 min of excellently arranged rhythm patterns elegantly surrounds an ever modulating bassline but always stays true to its techno roots. DJ Sotofett’s eponymous B-side surgically explores synth-arpeggios, beatless arrangements & cosmic ambience while adventouring its 17 min of spaceous synthetic sonics.
Review
Skatebard’s Digitalo Enterprises has been keeping it real since the mid 00s, never failing to come through with what we like to call ‘the truth’. Whether it’s disco, house or even techno on the menu, the quirky Norwegian producer-DJ has got a touch of class across everything he does, and inviting fellow Norwegian DJ Sotofett to the catalogue is pure evidence of that. The head honcho is up first, rolling across the wax plate with 2 cuts: the first, “Stalheim-Mix” is a pacey, bass-heavy techno roller with a supremely progressive tone of voice, whereas “Tristulf” is made for pure meditation thanks to its slow, warm flow of Balearics. On the flip, DJ SO-PHAT adds to the ambient glow thanks to the placid waters of “Digitalo-Mix”, a sparkling slice of synth experimentation that’ll have the new age retroists gleaming with joy. Bloody lovely, we might say!
