Review: Ukonx is an acclaimed electro imprint, numbering the legendary Dave Clarke among its supporters. As this release from label mainstay Deemphasis demonstrates, it's not hard to understand why it enjoys such acclaim. "Silent Path" marries tight 808s with acid sequences for a foreboding but distinctive workout, while on "Control" Deemphasis raises the tempo to deliver a combination of steely hi hats, muddy bass and robotic vocals. The title track is deeper and more esoteric, with the French producer using atmospheric synths as an accompaniment to a stream of consciousness vocal. "Unmuted" sees Deemphasis in more reflective mode, with a warm bass set to a skeletal groove.
