Russian producer Alexander Babaev is riding the crest of a wave right now, with his work on his own Konstruktiv label endearing him to a whole new audience.
In short, he specializes in the sort of crossover techno that Ben Klock has based his career on: discerning enough to be underground, it’s still sonically accessible to those of a house persuasion too.
In that essence, his latest party-trick sees him step slightly away from the bulky and more concrete vibes which characterized his last EP (where a Perk remix perhaps gives you an insight into that one), but instead chooses to focus on a sort of groove-tinged palette that makes Trus’Me’s work so lauded.
Expansive and almost soulful in approach, ‘Vostok’ is a carefully layered and executed techno track that has emotion aplenty running through its veins.
Spencer Parker gives it a neat rework – and his effort is further indication of the Brit’s continuing appreciation for the more techno side of the spectrum.
Finally, ‘Razbeg’’s many acid sheens range from the languid to the escapist.
Pulverising but delicate, they neatly wrap up a package that’s assured in the extreme.
