SHED - Applications II

Format: 180 gram vinyl 12"
Catalogue No.: IT077
Release Date: 03 Apr 2026
Genre: Techno

Two powerhouses of the techno underground collide here as Frankfurt-born beatmaker Shed and Munich's faultless Illian Tape drop a literally and metaphorically heavyweight slab of wax. Opener 'EFX' fizzed with signature Shed loops that are rusty and deceptively simple as they build a vibe over jostling drums. 'Ball' has even more caustic textures and loops that just about hang together, though they seem like they could fall apart at any moment. 'Worn' takes off with a more cosmic feel, the speedy drums and bass rumbling down low as static-charged synths skit about up top. 'Cross' has a more late-night and introverted feel with rare melody bringing the emotional depth.
