DESCRIPTION:
Stroboscopic Artefacts presents the Monad series. Rarefied and introspective, confrontational and extreme, each featured artist will delve into the Monad concept: "The generation of number series is related to objects of geometry as well as cosmogony. From the Monad evolved the Dyad; from it numbers; from numbers, points; then lines, two-dimensional entities, three-dimensional entities, bodies, culminating in the four elements earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of our world is built up." Xhin's Monad III is dark. It's a veritable master class in the art of techno: not one murmur is superfluous and not one beat drops out of place. The tracks are terrifyingly elegant, unfathomably deep and laced with delicious surprises. Spliced with the knowledge of a geneticist. Cut with the scissors of a master tailor. Analogies fall short. These inexplicable tracks, meticulously crafted from distortion and darkness, seem to somehow have undergone the next stage of evolution.

Xhin is someone who excites me quite a bit. 5/5 Mnml Ssgs Like with most of xhin's stuff. Could be very useful tools. Nightcode Magazine (Dave Volkaerts) SA going darker and darker! You guys are killing me, it's f*cking hot outside and you're releasing this kind of music! ;-) Hehe, love it, will play it and review it! Pulse (Jimmy Posters) This EP will not fly at the club i'm resident at. In fact it could get me fired. And what a way to go. 10/10 Review here: http://www.pulseradio.net/articles/2010/07/xhin-monad-111 Tsugi Magazine Really good one Illectronic Minus his usual fierce pace, Xhin still manages to retain his trademark darkness and provides an interesting addition to his catalogue. Dj Broadcast (Rene Passet) I like Key, with it's off beat and tension. But I don't feel Mind and have a pretty strong allergy for Ableton infused techno, so Mutate also does little for me. Seed is cool too. A good soundtrack for a Japanese horror movie. Berlin Mitte Institut We love it! 5/5 AltroVerso Good for chillout sessions on Radio. Dinamo.FM (Christopher Çolak) Love Mute. Full support. More than tasty!
