His last release on Monotonik was wayback when we were
putting out .MODs, so it's a delight to finally put out
another tune from Helsinki native, Jaakko Manninen, aka
md, and as our 50th Monotonik release, too.
Now residing in London, his "Appelsap" mp3-release
was put out on CD by Merck Records recently, including
some great remixes from Thug, Ilkae, Crankshaft (Yolk!),
and even Warp-signed Brothomstates, and his "Between Gaps"
opus, formerly due out as the first release on the scrapped
Monotonik 'real-life' record label, is now due in the near
future from Merck (and is well worth the wait!)
In any case, "Sweaty Palms" is a great example of the new
and way-ahead md style, dense as feck and full of foreboding
bassrumble and cut-to-heck drums and Finnish voices. It
grooves, but in an unholy way, and we like this, like it
a lot.
