"Igloo Magazine" about this VA: "Randomform delivers an emotive glitch-hop punch, Epal Gedanke offers arcane DSP shuffle, D-Fried with an IDM lullaby from yesteryear, Nearfield overtakes the senses via windswept clicks’n cuts downtempo, and Peninsolar manipulates his beats with an air of ambient, CD skipping tentacles. But there’s a whole other discovery to be found on EV2, static noise exploration by Ksztalt, atmospheric buzz jolts by GEC, microscopic rhythm jabs by encoder, organic/detuned instruments by ogrvne, and old-school Gescom collage smudging by enabl.ed, .kri tik, and brken mute. The sonic chaos is seemingly organized by artists like YX, Blochemy, Cyuild Apo, and Oe (who happens to bring a nostalgic Boards Of Canada flare)."

Clean Error about this EP: "Streamlined to top tier as if submerged somewhere offshore the Great Barrier Reef enters Clean Error Records newest addition, Russia’s Nikita Gordienko. With his first release ERR015 .Kri Tik – Antibiotic, Nik unleashes his own brand of aqueous down tempo that is quite the pleasure to the textural earlobe. His musical mantra of computer sound design started in his teen years with healthy obsessions of raw, venerable electronic sounds utilizing vintage Soviet synthesizers while using a variety of different methods to control the composure of the technological process of all functionalities that software synthesizers can furnish us. Inspired by the writings of Robert A. Heinlein, a Rod Serling style of classical science fiction, and a biochemistry aesthetic Nik relies on the nature of the drifting essentiality existence within the world around us for his propelling force and inspiration when experimenting with sound analysis. To produce and perform his music nowadays, he mainly uses laptop technologies with a variety of programs and virtual instruments. Probing the infinite with close examination .Kri Tik ‘s first release for Clean Error Records will certainly massage both the dominant and recessive alleles with its own antibiotic formula."
