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.

Craft Thee TECHNO

I don't really have a back story ,I've always had this thing for music and the process of crafting particular sounds .

It started out as just listening to different genres of music ,to being invested in all the sounds I was able to hear ,it was only in 2020 where I went to my first  rave (unaware of what music will be played)
I was instantly taken by how the crowd was reacting to the bangers being played and how the sounds were taking me on this trip , the clap on reverb being my absolute favorite might I add.

I then took it apon myself to research Techno music how and  where it all began ,it was from this moment I felI in love with the sound of the 90s the likes of Jeff Mills , Richie Hawtin , The Advent , Joey Beltram , Luke Slater and so many more are a major influence of my sound although you won't really hear it until you hear it:) the loopy yet never dull sound pushed me to start crafting my own unique style of a more agrressive loops with some 
tribal elements and your classic 909 percs and cymbals .

I honestly hope you'll dig my stuff :)

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.

🎛 The sound of Techno drives me 🎛 Originally from London raised in Lincolnshire in the UK. A lover of a broad range of music i have eclectic taste but my heart lies with bass music and dance orientated sounds.
From hearing the Dub and Reggae my dad and uncles used to play as a boy to  the Jungle and Drum & Bass tapes i used to collect as youngster at school to the Acid & Progressive House and Trance i used to dance to when i first started to attend electronic music events right up to the deep dubby mechanical and technoid minded music I cant help but be immersed in currently.  I have been honoured to have my dj mixes featured on podcasts such as TSESSIONS, London, and blessed to have been part of online radio events such THE END Celebration, an event that celebrated the iconic London club The End, the music, the people and amazing residents such as the one Mr C (Superfreq Records/The Shamen), Colin Dale, Murf and Layo & Bushwacka to only name a few, and I was lucky enough to have contributed a set along side these amazing artists. I have had music released as part of a Free Download compilation called Parts From The DAT by TB Arthur an Acid House and Electro from Chicago who is one half of Blotter Trax, who are based in Berlin, alongside Detroit's very own Magda, a Minimal Techno cornerstone and pioneer and label owner (Perm/ Items&Things with Marc Houle and Troy Pierce) and this was another blessing that I keep deep in my heart in the hope to share and release again and work harder.
 Electronic music has always had a profound effect on me, and i'm fascinated with the way it can move people both emotionally and physically,the way it is created and performed and i am also driven by the need to search for truly special music to play as a DJ and study as a producer. Inspired by my surroundings, whether quiet woodland solitude or bleak city night walks, I find there is beauty and inspiration in everything.
I have been moving to reflect this in the studio by introducing more hardware synths, modular sources, diy synths and drum machines to explore the foundations of sound design creativity and to work on a more experimental esoteric approach to creating and recording music for the future. Always looking, learning and seeking to evolve, to fully understand old/new concepts/techniques and to discover future sounds and join all the dots. 
Thanks for being there, much PEACE.
