Skee Mask -- ISS007/ ISS008

Two new EPs from Skee Mask, 007 seems ambient while 008 is more his trad breakbeat/ idm style.

Just bought so going to listen through shortly.

issOO8 definitely goes for the jugular! very excellent set of tracks on first play, all killer no filler 

iss007 up next

sweet

awesome. adding to my spotify playlist now

Skee Mask needs to stop smoking so much skunk and put his shit back on spotify

008 is absolutely ridiculous wow

Yah this is real nice.

007 is lovely but 008 is really where its at! (At least on 1st listen)

Surprised this has only 7 replies

Maybe all the so called Spotify haters are frauds (something I’ve been a little sneaky suspicious of tbh). And it’s time to resell your soul at the crossroads Mr Skee Mask (cackles!)

i listened to these and they are great. definitely considering ordering the wax. I recently got a copy of pool and have been spinning that nonstop

I look forward to it very much. Loved ISS005 and ISS006 a bunch, a bunch of my favourite things of Skee Mask are in his EPs

Hachures sounds like a piano track slowed down 10 times with paul stretch and a bit of delay

got around to these. both are excellent! enjoyed the ambient one quite a bit. lushed me out. and 008 is pure bangers and is top notch.

went back and listened to "pool" front to back while on a long drive the other day. its even better than i remembered.

Really enjoying the Skee Mask ambience. Hachures, Untitled 2014 and Space Drill Dub in particular. If you play both records back to back, when 008 kicks off it really blows your socks off.

Excellent work Mr Skee Mask.

Edit: the whole ambient album really is something special, I think it’s overtaken 008 as my favourite. 

Looks like he's still putting stuff on Apple Music

Just in case it’s flown under your radar, as it did with me, Skee Mask released a compilation of outtakes via Bandcamp (as originally posted by species8472) for Ukraine. It’s really worth your time.

I'm wary of infiltrating threads too much and chattering like a parrot that wants attention. So apologies for applying overkill on this particular one. I did a search on watmm and didn't come up trumps with anything so gonna stick it in here, I wasn't aware that last year Skee Mask did a BBC Essential Mix. I've never really been a fan of DJ mixes, most I find kind of unforgettable (maybe I've listened to all the wrong ones!) which is me saying this is easy one of the best I've ever heard. 
 

Awesome.. didn't know about that mix either but very much enjoying it! Thanks for posting

This mix is also on his Soundcloud page, as is the rare TemeTape1 he did with Simo Cell, which I haven't heard yet. Also a 3 hour set @ Dekmantle with the Zenker Brothers. 

nice new remix of jacques greene:

Been really discovering this guy only lately. Guess the expensive pressings on ilian tape made me hold back (though they are great quality). Exactly the kind of techno/jungle hybrid I'd been looking for!

new remix of principles of geometry

Excellent news  

damn JPP263 is a tune
