Genre/Influences: Minimal-electro, experimental. 

Background/Info: Lukas Barovka is active under the Rasky Sadagr moniker and has released several digital singles & EP’s.

Content: “Sacrifice II” moves on there where “Sacrifice” left off. The artist has accomplished a minimal-electro format, which for both debut cuts has been driven by a hard kick making the music danceable. There are no real vocals, but here again Rasky Sadagr likes injecting some female groans. The tracklist also features a live track plus 2 short cuts revealing a more explicit experimental-electro side.

+ + + : I’m still in for the minimalism of this project, which is mixed with harder, danceable kicks. That’s why I prefer both debut cuts. There also is some darker touch hanging over the work, which gets it intriguing. “Bad Scene – Original Mix” featuring Valéry sounds as one of the best cuts I’ve heard from this artist.

– – – : After a rather cool debut, the last 3 tracks are less convincing. They’re a bit short, but especially suffer from a lack of elaboration.

Conclusion: If you’re into pure experimental minimalism, this project might be interesting to discover. I’m convinced the best is yet to come…

Best songs: “Bad Scene – Original Mix”, “Intro”.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Genre/Influences: Electronic, experimental.

Background/Info: Rasky Sadagr (aka Lukas Barovka) is a German artist who already released a few digital releases. “Sacrifice” features 5 tracks.

Content: It’s not that easy to define the sound of this project, but there clearly is a minimal- and experimental electro taste running through the tracks. Both opening cuts have been spiced with ‘hot’ female samplings and cold sequences. It clearly has something erotic-like, which is accentuated by the kicks. The other tracks left remain are instrumentals and hold on to the global minimal approach in sound.

+ + + : I enjoyed the minimalistic treatments of this artist, which have something unique while the more classical female samplings inject something ‘sexy’ to the work. Rasky Sadagr sounds cold and intriguing.

– – – : I think it could be interesting considering some real vocals. The track “Neuromancer” is the right illustration vocals –or samplings, can add a real bonus.

Conclusion: I can’t say to have been totally conquered, nevertheless Rasky Sadagr seems to have some potential, which now has to be elaborated.

Best songs: “Instrumental”, “French Extreme II”.

Rate: (6½).
