Often mislabelled with the rather shallow ‘post-club’ hashtag, Strachkvas has been patiently alienating himself from the scene’s status quo. His sounds grew into the claustrophobic and grotesque realms of his debut release - Hedonic Treadmill (G&P003). More than two years has passed by with the treadmill rolling on non-stop - as Strachkvas reshapes his live performance with constant updates of new material, and occupies himself by mastering the arts of fine dining. Now, the producer, visual artist, and importantly our beloved friend with whom we have partied through countless nights, is finally back after the long hiatus from officially releasing music, bringing not one but two fresh releases for 2020. Gin&Platonic are pleased to continue the mutual collaboration by putting out one of the two upcoming EPs - ‘Break-in’.

Regardless of the past years, the Ostrava born-and-raised Strachkvas re-visits his primal environment - the club, and he does so with precision and a recognisable amount of contempt. The dancefloor-ready triptych ‘Break-in’ invades the innocent listeners with a mesmerising eponymous first track, holding them hostage until the abrasive lead single. ‘Fake’ may liberate them temporarily, thanks to seductive (yet menacing) vocals by M - a ‘Sound in New Media’ masters student minoring in neuroscience, interested in ending class war, becoming a pop star, the icey-sea, and hot sauce on popcorn. According to M, ’Fake’ is meant to become the next queer dancefloor anthem, and it is all about being seen. M’s lyrics here are taken from a tweet they wrote in response to having a difficult time dating as a non-binary person, when everyone treated them like their gender was fake. The third and final track, named after an infamous chemical tanker ‘Cumbrian Fisher’, eventually devours the listener into gloomy streams of contaminated waters, transforming the dancefloor into a polluted ocean-bottom, poorly lit by glimpses of sunrays that dimly pass through the aquatic surfaces covered with large oil spills and goo lumps.
