Song Of Drorzdika

For Oleg Azelitskiy, known as DJ Slon, the nineties and the first half of the aughts were an era of “firsts”. First squat parties on the banks of the Obvodny Canal and more legitimate ones at Tunnel, first proper techno club in Russia. First DJ sets, first vinyl records in his collection, first radio shows at Port FM. He is a true veteran of the Russian techno movement, who carried his love for the genre through three decades and inspired more than one generation of musicians. Album №1 is the first edition of his music on vinyl. It comprises the music that Azelitskiy made during 1995 – 2005, except for the track My 40th Vesna, produced in 2010.

Azelitskiy’s love for techno was born out of contradictions. Thanks to the Soviet synth band Zodiac and the French pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, he had loved electronic music since his childhood. When he grew up, he got into the dark, introspective pieces by Einstürzende Neubauten and Bauhaus. Not only does the wide-ranging palette on Album №1 reflect its creator’s taste, it echoes the changing times of the Russian nineties. It was the time when confrontations with criminals were inseparable from the parties and get-togethers bustling with local artists.

His affection for various genres led to many monikers and projects, all represented here on Album №1. He recorded most of his music as DJ Slon. Then there was a project Zhutkiy Lazer (Scary Laser), where Azelitskiy made music that was more experimental but still techno-oriented, with the occasional help of his friend Aleksey Gaponenko (Lazer became a proper solo project of DJ Slon in 1999). There are also tracks under the aliases Mass Fatality, which combined techno and synth-pop, and Razrushiteli Mozgovych Uliev (Brain Hive’ Destroyers), with its more direct tight techno tracks.

The music of DJ Slon sounds fresher and more alive on Album №1 than ever before. Noticeably, this record, first and foremost, is dance music. As a voice on one of the album tracks boldly states, we came to dance.

GAR004: DJ Slon и Жуткий Лазер "Album №1"

Bogdan means «given by God» in Slavic - the first thing that comes to mind by the second minute of listening. Moscow natural DJ originates from the family of the Underdog bar, "Pole" club and team of researchers of Russian wave music NOWAVE!
Guitar frenzy and kraut-rocker groove with moderate heaviness and intelligence without a bit of tediousness. That's the case when music is guaranteed to overcome the fatigue from everything with which people suddenly fell ill.
Damn!? Bogdamn!

***

“Богдан, богом дан” — первые слова, ĸоторые приходят в голову ĸо второй минуте прослушивания. Мосĸовсĸий диджей-самородоĸ из семьи бара Underdog, ĸлуба поле и ĸоманды исследователей отечественной вейв-музыĸи “NOWAVE!”
Гитарное безумие и ĸраут-роĸерсĸий грув с умеренной тяжестью и интеллеĸтуальностью без доли занудства. Тот случай, ĸогда музыĸа гарантированно побеждает усталость от всего, ĸоторой люди в одночасье заболели.
Damn!? Bogdamn!

Bryozone - Smoothy Flow (Muscut 27), March 2023

pre-order now: https://gostzvuk.bandcamp.com/album/intuitive-word-2

Gost Zvuk prepare for a busy 2023 with an enthralling double LP's worth of futurist sound design from Flaty. In the game for more than a decade now, the producer, mastering engineer and all-round visionary artist has delivered an impressive range of music across both his own ANWO imprint as well as for West Mineral ltd., 12th Isle, Firecracker and more.

Always content to subvert expectations and blur stylistic lines, on Intuitive Word there is a clear fascination with a spectral, whittled-down-to-its-core type of avant-pop/RNB hybrid. Digital strings, dubbed beyond recognition semantic snatches, re-imagined new age style synthesis and even flourishes of MMORPG computer game soundtracks all combine into something that feels uniquely Flaty. In a sense, Intuitive Word marries ambient sound collage and hyperreal, narrative-style vocal processing. However, glimmers of shoegaze and old 'ethereal' bands (think Harold Budd & Cocteau Twins) crop up on tracks like 'Tree' and 'Nepal Lit', a testament to Flaty's skill for world-building and atmospherics.

Across the 19 cuts there is a recurring theme of choral style, computer generated elegies. A kind of 'cristal trance', in their words. 'Mint' combines these with overtly RNB style vocal samples, whereas darker, more broken beat soundscapes can be heard on the Madteo collab 'Observer'. With plenty of sombre and cinematic style ventures such as 'NEWS' breaking up the album and eschewing this focus on vocals, we find one of the most consistent producers in the current Russian scene delivering what may well be his most accomplished collection yet.
