                          ............................

             The latest release from Tash's Movement Limited welcomes 
             Starkato to the label for a new EP. The German artist has spent 
             considerable time on parent imprint Movement Recordings, 
             notching eleven discography credits since making his debut in 
             2018. Also laying claim to releases on Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat 
             Music, Beatfreak and ICONYC, the Wiesbaden resident remains an 
             in-demand talent across the melodic techno landscape. Now adding 
             Movement Limited to his resume, Starkato debuts on the label 
             with an artist showcase entitled 'Polar Lightning'.  

             Spread across four tracks, it's the mood setting piece 'The 16 
             Bit Child' which gets the EP underway. Smooth and mysterious 
             from the outset, its growling low end and cinematic swells 
             provide a dramatic narrative, while broken beats, retro 
             acid-lines and fluttery synth clusters make for an enlightening 
             journey. The second selection 'Go West'' surveys a similar 
             design profile but with dance floor minded approach. Beginning 
             with delicate beats and wavy arps, Starkato uses this pulsating 
             energy to introduce dulcet tones and symphonic synth phrasing 
             onwards to a tastefully ethereal finale.  

             The EP's halfway point is marked by the title selection 'Polar 
             Lightning' which finds Starkato continuing to flex a lighter 
             side of his repertoire. Bulbous beats and cascading bass stabs 
             provide the foundation, while playful arps marry emotive 
             phrasing. An arp-tastic break highlights the piece, flowing 
             through tastefully poignant modulation, before a flurry of drums 
             sparks a mesmerizing finale. The release concludes with 
             'Parasite' where Starkato explores a deeper heartfelt narrative. 
             Creamy pianos provide the mood early on, set against a 
             nature-centric backdrop, as dusty percussion gently builds into 
             spirited overlays a colourful finale. It rounds out an inspired 
             collection of music from Starkato, making for an excellent debut 
             on Movement's thriving Limited division.
