Johanna Knutsson and fellow Swede Hans Berg are finally back on board and bringing a fantastic new release to Klasse's schedule. Donka/Mosquitoes is a wonderful work of melodic Techno and features remixes from Bristol native, October and Bass Culture/Kontra regular Joel Alter. Donka sets the scene with a Tribal-esque bassline, sounding like something lost deep within a jungle the track writhes about with its elements. Maintaining its groove and pace, it finally reaches new pastures where it takes a softer and more melodic direction. Blossoming into a beautiful breakdown the track takes a breather before stumbling head first into the dark and bumpy territory that came beforehand. October takes on Donka for remix duties and twists it into something entirely different. Relying only on one subtle part of the original track, October builds a deliciously delirious atmosphere of clanking 808s and freaky echo. Apparently recovering from a skateboarding accident when making the remix, October used his prescribed opiate-medication not only as pain-relief but also as inspiration for this trippy dub. Mosquitoes starts off with a similar direction, Nord-like bass hits ring out with shuffle and swing, giving the track a distinctly UKG flavour. Arpeggiated synths give the track a balance and provide a delicate and chordal balance, building and building the track keeps up a momentum that is sure to explode on the dancefloor. Rounding off the release is Joel Alter's remix of Donka, heading in a straight four to the floor direction, Joel utilizes bouncing toms and a throbbing synth hook effectively. The track briefly breaks down, using the melodic and atmospheric parts of the original before returning to the foot-stomping groove.
