Sonar Kollektiv aficionados will be very familiar with underground German producers Trickski who have just released their compilation ‘Members of The Trick’ to critical acclaim.

The ‘MOTT’ concept has been a showcase for Trickski and artists closely affiliated with them, both in sound and personality.

‘Meerkats’ is episode nine in the mini series and sees Trickski sharing the limelight with Solomun.

‘Lost Tape’ by Trickski is a smoking cauldron of crunchy percussion and menacing stabs.

The mid-level beats signal that this isn’t one for the podium massive; instead, it’s a murky beast with a dark underbelly.

Just enough energy is emitted to get the bodies moving while a thick pulsing test tone jams into your brain.

This will certainly provide the soundtrack to many a lost hour in a club.

The dub version is for those who like it stripped back and to the point.

Solomun enters the fray with a track which appears on the ‘MOTT’ compilation, and what a standout piece it is.

‘Black Rose’ is an emotive slice of old skool Detroit laced with spellbinding pianos and strings to bring a tear to the eye.

The dub ‘White Rose’ forgoes the lush instrumentation for a feet friendly workout.
