Surgeon: anxious techno

I was first introduced to Surgeon's 2005 EP Klonk when Scuba sampled it in his epic Sub:Stance mix, released on Ostgut Ton in 2010.

Scuba created an anxious atmosphere in that mix. He worked soft synth samples over 'Klonk 4' - a nervous, agitated composition.  

On listening to the whole EP, yes, you'll hear techno that bangs hard. Hard like your calves in Krush at 3am/6am/9am.

Here's 'Klonk 1'.

Futures

Sunday.. Is there a day better suited to the enjoyment of slow burning Cascine magic?

George Fitzgerald. Such an inconspicuous name.
Yet somehow - against all odds, this guy seems to be making quite a name for himself.

Sitting pretty amongst some stellar company at Scuba's Hotflush Records, Fitzgerald's style of beat fits neatly alongside the rest of the diverse, techno infused dubstep of that crowd.
