Experimental Saint Petersburg-based sonic shapeshifter Bop is back on Hospital Records with his brand new five-track ‘Perehod’ EP that ventures afar from his usual drum & bass status as he spans through 2-step, breakbeat and ambient: all with his spellbinding signature production finesse which has already received the seal of approval from the likes of Ejeca, London Elektricity, Alec Falconer, Because Of Art and Oneman.

Opening piece ‘NDE’ casts Bop’s archetypal and skittery off-beat rhythms across a palate of soothing synth pads, adventurous arpeggios and dusty hoover bass drones. Subtly funky throughout, the tinges of garage vocal stabs shimmer across this imaginative stepper.

‘Take Your Time’ offers up thought provoking chord progressions amongst Bop’s contemplative sound . A super low-slung drum pattern makes way for the crisp, immersive vocal tones that flutter elegantly above.

Switching to fifth gear, ‘Beach Simulator 3D’ leads the charge with up-tempo breakbeats racing across dubby chord stabs and eerie percussive effects. A late-night ride you’ll need to buckle your seatbelt for, Bop initiates intergalactic mode on this one.

‘Skolzkaya Dorozhka’, meaning ‘Slippery Slope’ in Russian, is a wobbly dub groove that channels styles from mid-noughties DMZ and Tempa releases, a heavy sub drives through a minimalist half-time groove.

Finally, the 150+ BPM whopper ‘Hiding’ is a nod to Bop’s love for dance music which can be found at the faster end of the electronic spectrum. Ticking hats and warm atmospherics are the perfect wrap-up to a truly special release.

No stranger to pioneering successful moves outside the realms of 174BPM, Bop secured the number 1 spot on the Beatport Garage chart alongside Subwave with ‘Haze’. With support over the years from the likes of DJ Mag and Resident Advisor, as well as radio support on BBC Radio 1, Rinse FM and Reprezent, not to mention the running of his very own esteemed Microfunk imprint, Bop continues to affirm himself as an undeniable dance music pillar.

The Pleasure District label returns for the its fifth release, the stable  was previously home to Heart Drive aka dBridge and Kid Drama but the gates have been opened for Fracture and vocalist Lucie La Mode, with one collaboration with the aforementioned Kid Drama. The release opens with Remember The Time Feat Lucie La Mode, the track itself is reminiscent of a soundtrack work by Vangelis whilst La Mode’s vocal adds a warmth to proceedings. The second track is a collab with Kid Drama and marries some very disparate elements in the vein of previous Pleasure District releases, keeping the musical pallette open and yet achieving cohesion at the same time.

Microfunk Music is an independent click'n'bass label run by Bop.

Mostly into downtempo/chillout/trip hop/psy dub but also enjoy atmospheric drum n bass, deep/progressive house, and dub electronic (aka dub techno, though the 'techno' part can be disturbing to some)

Originally from the Chicago area, so that may explain my interest in more intelligent styles of music.  Now I'm in a place where everyone listens to the same toilet radio and don't really appreciate good music. Seriously - even a minute of that sh¡t is too much. 

Respect to the following for introducing me to their styles

atmo dnb : Seba, PFM, Intersperse, ambispheric, f1rstpers0n, Artin@Soundtraveler 
minimal / chill dnb : Bop, Microfunk, Mav 
progressive house : Suicide Sheep, Dejan Pavolvic, The Grand Sound 
dub electronic : f1rstpers0n, sound-tv, Mark Mello, Drift Deeper 
deep house : Anjunadeep, Deep Space House, Trevor Nygaard
downtempo/lounge : Enigma, Starstreams, Solar Stone, Q.E.M.F. (Quality Electronic Music Fan - RIP) 

Respect and RIP to VPK - an old family friend who grew up on disco. Working with Vince and helping him find music online (back when Napster and Kazaa were a thing lol) surely had some influence on my interest in electronic music. I found my way into Trance around that time, and while I've since lost interest, DJs like Oakenfold, ATB, PVD, Markus Schulz, etc. introduced me to the continuous DJ mix... 

Selected artwork on this profile by Tatsuya Ishida (sinfest.net), chosen because...they seemed to make sense here (if that makes sense)
