The thing that really grabs me about releases like this from the amazing Sraunus is that it's minimal techno, using similar general ideas as many others, but his carefully placed accents, sound construction, and overall quality of composition and production result in atmospheric/minimal/dub techno that is the cream of the crop. Vocal scents, panning meandering, and accentuating crispness make for smooth beat driven atmospheres of pristine form. Portis
I discovered Sraunus and bought his discography in 2022. It's now 2024 and I'm still as hooked as ever. This is the gift that keeps on giving, as there is so much to enjoy, album by album and song by song. Μaπ Β
