Fact Mix 795: Perko
Fact Mix 795: Perko
A set of heady, percussive techno and club music from the Scottish producer.
Perko’s NV Auto, released on Numbers in 2018, saw the Scottish-born, Copenhagen-based producer land with one of the most impressive debuts in the label’s catalogue. It combined the rhythm and tempo of UK garage with dub chords and ambient techno moods, linking the sound of ’90s chillout rooms to the post-dubstep experimentation of the late ’00s.
On 2020’s The City Rings, Perko took his stylistic explorations further with a set of tracks that referenced electro and dubstep, in a style that recalled the hazy yet propulsive sounds of the Acido and SUED labels. What characterises all of Perko’s music however, whether it’s 140BPM club cuts or beatless interludes, is his use of field recordings, Space Echo and subtle layers that shift underneath the surface.
