Advertent clubbers and record buyers might have come across Patrik Skoog aka Agaric lately through his coloured “We Are"-10inch series, where he fuses classic Techno qualities with contemporary minimal aesthetics, setting alight dancefloors worldwide. “Virke", his contribution for Liebe*Detail", is not as much in love with distortion as his “We Are” releases, but presents itself clipped and precise, tidy and powerfull. Agaric’s tendencies towards dark and dense atmospheres stay perfectly intact, though. With a break full of dreamy harmonies and huge reverbs, he provides us with a short moment of relief and thus blends in perfectly into Liebe*Detail’s profile. In Hamburg everything is always just around the next corner. Thus, it’s been just a matter of time that Lawrence found his way to Liebe*Detail. With his track “Place To Be” he lives up to his reputation as the king of understatement once again. With a keen sense for the right balance, Lawrence speckles the night sky with faintly glistening stars. Even if ingredients like a thousand shades of grey and the immanent Detroit influence stay the same, you never heard Lawrence as fleet-footed, yet determined, as on “Place To Be". This track is an understated, but overwhelming anthem!
