ÒSprouted and FormedÓ is the inaugural album from enthralling electronic duo Rawtekk. Hailing from Hamburg in Germany, Rawtekk initially caught the attention of Med School with the sublime ÒSnowflakesÓ which features on the 2011 edition of the labelÕs popular ÒNew BloodÓ compilation series. Rawtekk will also be a familiar name to discerning fans of techy/neuro drum & bass, having released on labels such as Subtitles and NoisiaÕs Division Recordings. Past collaborations include tracks with fellow Hamburg resident and close friend Phace (Neosignal). Fast forward to 2013 and Stefan and Christine return to Med School with their first ever full-length long-player which effortlessly combines precision engineering with elegant song-writing sensibilities. Opener ÒA Magnanimous KindÕs WillÓ is a beautiful, dreamy utterance with a distinctive take on dubstep, whilst elsewhere we have eerie, melancholy tracks such as ÒAnywhereÓ juxtaposed with introspective drum & bass cuts like ÒPhotone RecruitsÓ and the spaced-out beatless melodies of ÒVentricleÓ. Keeping us on our toes, Rawtekk really up the ante with tough, gnarly drum & bass numbers ÒTo Be A Space MonkeyÓ and ÒMonopolists And RobberiesÓ which dominate the second half of the album with their impressive force. Sprouted and FormedÓ is a captivating story told through a range of soundscapes and emotionsÉ profound and haunting, surreal and cinematic, brutish yet sensitive, bringing together complexity and simplicity.
