Love this tempo, almost feels slow motion :)

Skudge - Convolution (Levon Vincent Versions)

A. Convolution (Levon Vincent Scream Version)
B. Convolution (Levon Vincent CS-101 Version)

CAT# : SKUDGE-LVRMX23
Formats : 12” and Digital

Out 16th June 2023



Levon Vincent is on production for this reversioning 12” of Skudge’s 2010 techno-house Convolution. Is there another producer working today that's a more exciting prospect to hear reimagining this classic cut.

The resulting two sides of vinyl give that late 00s Levon feel of rhythm and pace, meeting Skudge’s hallmark sound.

It’s been over a decade since Skudge took charge and urged us to "give it on up". Convolution' forged two distinct genres while avoiding the trap of losing the attitude of both. The track was a strong take on Techno and House simultaneously and brought something new and interesting to the table.

Fast forward a decade since this effort marked the beginning of the Skudge journey, which not only caught the middle ground between Techno and House but also the ears of fellow producer Levon Vincent. Levon is the master of oceanic underwater funk, drawing in strands of dub, techno, and house.

Levon delivers two distinct versions. Side A, Scream Version recalls something like A.J. Sounds’ minimal techno classic from 1995; Basemental. Flipping over to the B-side, one can hear the Convolution atmosphere echoing between Levon and Skudge respectively.

BOOKINGS: skudge.music@gmail.com


The rhythm, the groove and faith in simplicity. All of them are hallmarks of Skudge. Started as a duo in 2009, the project is now a solo effort (with live performance help from another individual). The Skudge universe has come a long way from the anonymous and humble beginnings to world-wide recognition through the labels Skudge Records, Skudge Presents and Skudge White.

Right from the start, the main output has been on Skudge’s own label. This resulted in a Berghain live set right after the first release of Skudge Records. 

A steady string of vinyl releases followed, with remix EP’s in conjunction of their own work. Their unique take on music also produced EP’s on Dekmantel and Indigo Area as well as remixes on a wide array of talented artists such as Donato Dozzy, Anthony „Shake“ Shakir, Instra:mental, Ben Sims, among others.

The fine sense of loops, detail and taste have reached people for almost a decade. Be it through their EP’s or albums, hardware focused live sets which has been performed at numerous clubs and events world-wide or by way of recognized labels and podcasts: one thing remains, which is that the Skudge artistry and label are here to stay.
