A highly respected figure for dancers and artists alike, Markus Suckut offers his signature built-to-last sound to Fuse with ‘Moments’. In this style, confidence is key and Suckut provides soul to club music in a way few have been able to. Simple yet ever so refined, the German artist furthers his sound with the Belgian label with rolling tracks that reach beyond the dancefloor yet again. ‘Moments’ is just that, a collection of instances spent inside the mind or outwards into the world in order to move and connect. 

The A1 remains usually the first impression of every record, so it makes sense that ‘Patience’ would mark the beginning of this eight release for the Brussels’ club. A bubbly yet impactful track, ‘Patience’ rolls through six minutes in no time with eccentric percussion and a viscous low-end. Unafraid to break the codes in order to push his sound forward while respecting the essence of what makes the genre great, Suckut puts years of mastery at work in order to find balance and air between his elements. This impressive low-end rhythm is continued into ‘Resurrection’ - which is more of an exploration of dissonance and texture than its predecessor. With hi-hats whipping around the stereo field through metallic bends and a harmonic kick/bass, the record knows for what context ‘Resurrection’ is reserved for. ‘Myth’ then comes along to lighten the load with a positive groove and an extraverted arrangement, maintaining balance to the overall EP. Complete with a subtly modulating live-played percussion that echoes the character of a vocal and layered over an almost vintage drum sequence, the persistence of ‘Myth’ finds a sweet spot between techno and house, making it a versatile tool in almost any record bag. The soul of the EP, however, belongs to its title track ‘Moments’. Appropriately named, this fourth piece concludes Markus Suckut’s latest statement for the dancefloor. A suspension of time in structure as much as in melody, the producer takes the time to unveil each element of the record while maintaining a burning intriguing throughout. A truly timeless piece reserved for only the most special moments and most deserving crowds, Suckut proves once again that his understanding of emotion through his medium will echo his music across the world for years to come.
