Raw Ensemble's 2016 EP "Suffer Well" features two extended tracks that showcase the artist's signature blend of intricate sound design and driving, hypnotic rhythms. The release is a prime example of their contribution to the Berlin techno scene.
- "Suffer Well" was released on June 18, 2016, by the independent label Raw Ensemble. The EP consists of two tracks, "Suffer Well" and "Suffer More," both exceeding ten minutes in length. The release is representative of the artist's work from the mid-2010s, a period of prolific output and increasing international recognition.
- The A-side, "Suffer Well," builds tension through a sparse, percussive arrangement before introducing a distorted, acid-tinged synth line. The B-side, "Suffer More," adopts a more atmospheric approach, with layers of shimmering effects and a subdued, pulsating kick drum. Both tracks were recorded and produced in Raw Ensemble's personal studio in Berlin.
- Upon its release, "Suffer Well" was lauded for its uncompromising dedication to the hypnotic, functional aesthetics of contemporary techno. It found favor with DJs seeking extended, immersive sets. The EP has since become a sought-after item for collectors of Berlin-sourced electronic music.
