Excellent review of Heiki’s “Valley Beyond,” our latest release on Suction, c/o Terminal 313:
“While keeping his industrial roots, Heiki’s musical output has been pleasingly diverse, ranging from acid jams and synth pop to dub, electro and ambient.”

Heiki Sillaste, industrial and electronic pioneer from Toronto, makes his Suction Records debut in the crossroads of acid, electro and ambient.

Stellar review of Heiki's "Valley Beyond", our latest release on Suction Records, via Igloo Magazine:
https://igloomag.com/reviews/heiki-valley-beyond-suction

"Valley Beyond is a difficult one to define. The record is a melting pot of ideas and influences. [Heiki] draws on his industrial roots while riffling through ambient, electro, house and techno. He selects elements from these varied genres with such a discerning ear that his compositions are never cluttered nor crowded. An accomplished collection of thought-provoking electronics ruffled by tougher floor tracks."

Excellent new review of Analytica's "Strategy of Tension" LP, released recently via our minimal synth sublabel Ice Machine, c/o Igloo Magazine.
"These clever and cutting [social] criticisms [via the song lyrics] are all written to sparkling synthesizer melodies, the cold reality comforted by analogue warmth."

Their words pull no punches, they are fired with conviction and intent. Softening this directness is the composition of their songs, the rich instrumentation smoothing corners without diluting the message. An accomplished album from a political and polyphonic partnership.

OUT NOW — new vocoder-electro/acid release on Suction Records: "Valley Beyond" by Heiki (suction060 12" EP / CD/digital full-length). Here's an excerpt of a new video for "Andermatt" - a melodic ambient electronix highlight from the record. Listen / order your copy, and watch the full vid:
http://linktr.ee/suctionrecords

“Valley Beyond” is the Suction Records label debut by Heiki, aka Toronto-based, Canadian electronic music veteran, Heiki Sillaste. Heiki first made his mark with Digital Poodle, a cult EBM project that he began in 1988. Like many EBM producers in the ‘90s, Heiki found himself losing interest in that increasingly stagnant scene, and quickly shifted his musical focus towards the emerging techno/rave/ambient scene. Over the years, he’s delved into everything from dub techno, to drum and bass, to ambient drone, but for the past few years he’s been diving deep into hardware analog electro and acid. “Valley Beyond” is the result of nearly a decade perfecting his acid/electro sound, finding Heiki at the top of his game. Highlighted by 2 rocking vocoder electro anthems, “Valley Beyond” and “Komplexobo###,” the 6-track vinyl EP moves seamlessly from sinister electro to funky acid, with melodic analog strings, 808 boom, and 303 squelch as constants, weaving in and out.

Heiki "Highway 10"
from "Valley Beyond" (Suction Records, suction060).

We're happy to share with you our first new Suction Records label release for 2024 — "Valley Beyond" is a killer electro/acid EP by Canadian electronic music veteran Heiki, best known for his legendary late-80s/early 90s EBM project Digital Poodle, which received the vinyl reissue/remix treatment on Suction Records a few years back. Highlighted by 2 rocking vocoder electro anthems, “Valley Beyond” and “Komplexobo###,” the 6-track vinyl EP moves seamlessly from sinister electro to funky acid, with melodic analog strings, 808 boom, and 303 squelch as constants, weaving in and out.
