FACT Mix 276: SND

FACT mix 276 is by snd.

Mat Steel and Mark Fell began their collaboration as snd in 1998, and over the last 13 years they’ve cultivated one of the most singular and compelling bodies of work in the history of post-rave electronic music. Their most arresting works have invariably been their self-released 12″s and EPs, the first of which was ’98′s ‘Tplay’, the most recent 2008′s 4, 5, 6, but they’ve also released four albums to date, all quite remarkable: Cassette (1999), Stdio (2000) and Tenderlove (2002) on Mille Plateaux, Atavism (2009) on Raster-Noton. Digital minimalists of the most exacting and uncompromising kind, the duo don’t make dance music by any stretch of the imagination

Their FACT mix is as authoritative and illuminating as you’d expect, exploring the full gamut of minimalism. For those of you interested in electronic music at its most radical and reduced, Christmas has come early.
