Skee Mask - Resort [ITLP19]

new skee mask album incoming.

juno:

"The next level beat maker and sound designer that is Skee Mask returns to long-time home label Ilian Tape with another bold and brilliant album, Resort. It's an album that expands on the artist's usual sound with fusions of celestial ambient, IDM sound design and lithe, rhythmic techno drums. There are breakbeats on 'Reminiscrmx' backlit by heavenly pads, 'Schneiders Paradox' is marbled with zippy pads and raw drum hits, 'BB Care' glistens with a futuristic glow and 'Holzl Was A Dancer' slips into a shuffling, UKG tinged dub house pumper. It's a wild, wonderful ride that reaches all new levels for this already accomplished producer."

Can he make anything better than Compro? Bring it on anyway! 

with every new release, I hope he will bring something else, something known yes, but also obviously new! 

a bass kick in the groin 

Looking forward to this. Almost (but not quite) Aphex level of excitement. Probably outside of Warp this dude is my favourite electronic artist. Been a fan since his very first releases, if you search on watmm and can find them, you will see.

Fuck yess was listening to him earlier today as it happens

Very excited

Whoa, it's out this week!?

no i liked him first

Anyone know a good site that will ship it to the US? Cheapest shipping I found is $15

No bandcamp?

Ilian tape is always expensive as fuck on bandcamp though but id still like to have it on there

of course it will be there when it’s actually released

Sweet dreams snoozer

Damn, I saw that "Vitamin 313" track title and shit was exactly what I expected/wanted. Here's hoping that Bandcamp drops soon. The Skeeflation is real on digital vinyl but I'll always pay up.

Hell yeah! Not listened yet but just know it's going to be  

20e for the 2lp, brexit must be causing the vinyl inflation, UK must buy some of the component parts from Europe 

Ilian tape is always like this

It’s out today! Instabuy from ilian tape 

Reminiscrmx, Daytime Gamer and BB Care are my favorites on first listen.

Although this album sounds lovely as always, I do think Skee needs to update his sound a little bit from now on. It's honestly becoming harder to identify a track from his because it could have been released on any of his records. Although that does mean that he consistently puts out quality material, it's becoming less exciting to listen to. I don't think this tops Pool or Compro either tbh AND I'm not a fan of the artwork.

Love you Skee, Thumbass out.

Damn that was fast and i aint got no monies left to spend on music this month. very exited for this one

Me too.

On first listen this sounds good but I already have quite a bit of his stuff so not sure I'll pull the trigger on this one.

artwork is sick. very much looking forward to listening to today. will be sure to report back with the hottest of hot takes.
