Artist: Thug
Title: Werdan
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk025
Release Date: 2000/05/23

Another welcome release from Australia’s Tim Koch, and this particular track, once composed under the Tsunami Brothers moniker, mixes weirdly compelling rolling beats with quick changes of pace and high falutin’, radio-tuning-spattered synths.

As mentioned previously, Thug’s “Isolated Rhythm Chock” album on Aural Industries is a big hit with melodic idm fans all over the place, and his previous releases on Monotonik as Thug and Serkul have been pretty popular, too. More of his work soon, we promise..

Australian idm wonderboy Thug lets us borrow some more of his latest and greatest tracks for exclusive mp3 release on Monotonik, and boy, are we glad he did. This particular tune weaves the dense idm melodies (that has him compared to early Black Dog) with complex rhythms and hues to create something rather original.

“Sudafed x2” continues to delight on multiple listens, not least because of the strange static impacted undertones, but in the main because it’s just beautiful techno music.

Title: Obatem By Night
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk010
Release Date: 1999/09/29

Thug (aka Serkul, a previous Monotonik artist), has been getting some pretty nice press recently for his debut CD “Isolated Rhythm Chock” on the Aural Industries label outta Australia. And we’re lucky enough to be able to release “Obatem By Night”, an exclusive track from him, not on the album and only available on mp3 from da Monotonik homies.

Listen to the track and you’ll find alternately beautiful fuzz and extremely concentrated melodies, reminiscent perhaps of Black Dog at their most melancholic. The hihat ticks away and time becomes a loop?

Hope you enjoy this track – we hope to feature more of Thug’s music in the future, and more info about his CD can be found at http://www.aural-industries.com.au – go patronise, already.
