Release Date: 28 Oct 2010
WE SAY:
A sample is a small part of the whole, selected because it’s a premier example of its class. Stroboscopic Artefacts’ sampler series returns with the Delta Sampler, four tracks that traverse electronic music possibilities from straight up techno to oblique drone.
Opener “LX1” sees Lucy and Xhin teaming up for the first collaboration between two SA core artists. Dark, slightly brooding, the meeting of their minds is mapped out with incisive kicks, knotty dub and hi hat sizzles. It’s the start of a collaboration that’s going to be worth following.
Fresh from his SA006 12” release, Jonas Kopp takes the vinyl’s mood and adds menace. “M33” is a 4/4 structure filled with discontent, the track strains with aqueous grumbles and tense peak time techno emerges.
Inigo Kennedy and Isodyne’s “Lagrange Point ” borrows its structure from the observations of physics. Scientifically speaking the “Lagrange Point” is where celestial bodies appear to be stationary despite constantly moving. Their “Lagrange Point” is a baseline that fluxes between a background of reverberating pads and a foreground of slithering chords, but somehow remains constant.
From here the sampler closes with “Inside The Shadows”, Forward Strategy Group’s malevolent slice of drone. The complex sequence of loops builds a reflective atmosphere that revels in the hidden, the hinted at, the latent. It’s the perfect soundtrack for an ecstatic afterhours experience.
All tracks craftily mastered by Artefacts Mastering, Berlin.

Laurent GarnierAnother great release on the Stroboscopic Artefacts. Will play for sure.
SurgeonGreat work again on Stroboscopic Artefacts.
Peter Van HoesenStrong release. Lagrange Point is the one for me. Inside the shadows is perfect as the intro to a long, intense dj set.
Chris Liebing5 out of 5
Perc5/5 Yes, yes, yes. Great EP. Maybe one of the best overall EP's of the year. All tracks are very strong and the M33 track is especially savage. Love it, full support.

Darko EsserVery good as always on SA!
Eric Cloutier (The Bunker)Pretty killer collection of tracks here! lucy + xhin sure knocked it out of the park, its great to see inigo kennedy back on production, and the fsg drone track is fantastic. not reall feeling the jonas, though - a little too industrial for me.
Jeff Derringer (Oktave)
Love the release. Will definitely play. Particularly inspired by LX1. Nice work again SA!
Dave Twomey aka TR NCH
5/5 Holy shit... this is headed for the front of my box right now. LX1 is absolutely massive... jonas track is a useful tool but a little dry and predictable for me personally. Lagrange back to the quality. could be either very Berghain, or very Labyrinth...or a bit of both! like it a lot.. final track is very cool indeed.

Jonas's piece is heavy (Berghain material methinks), and FSG's addition is scary as fuck. I'm a big fan of doomy ambient (KTL, Yellow Swans, Xela, etc), so it's right up my street. Will be sure to use it in a mix at some point :-)
Truss
Very difficult to pick a fav here, feeling them all, although Jonas Kopp is always on point for me. Nice to see Innigo Kennedy, Isodyne and FSG on SA
