Bart Skils - Shadowprint

Review by Arierom Herege

Bart Skils' latest album, Shadowprint, is a powerful example of his ability to create techno music that is both innovative and emotionally charged. The album opens with "Ocean Drive," a pulsing track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. From there, Skils takes the listener on a journey through a range of moods and styles, from the driving beats and hypnotic synths of "Lost Boys" to the moody, atmospheric "Midnight Moving."

Throughout the album, Skils demonstrates his mastery of the techno genre, blending elements of acid house, trance, and industrial music into a cohesive and compelling whole. His use of intricate percussion and textured soundscapes creates a sense of depth and complexity that sets Shadowprint apart from other techno releases.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Shadowprint, however, is Skils' ability to infuse the music with a sense of emotion and feeling. Tracks like "West of the Moon" and "All About the Music" are infused with a sense of longing and yearning, while "Ocean Drive" and "Black Vans" are pure adrenaline rushes.

Fans of the genre will undoubtedly find much to love in this album, while newcomers to Skils' work will be drawn in by its energy and creativity.
