Cid Inc's Replug Records gets 2019 underway by welcoming Anton MAKe back to the label for a brand new EP. The Russian artist made his debut on the Finnish imprint in August of 2016 with 'Naja Nova', a three track EP in collaboration with fellow countryman Shamil OM. In addition to an appearance on Lonya's Asymmetric Recordings, 2018 saw Anton return to Replug with a contribution to the label's highly regarded 'Defined' series. Now getting the new year underway in style the Russian artist presents his first solo EP for the label entitled 'Divo'. 

Anton's affinity for mystical storyboarding has never been more profound than on the lead piece 'Divo'. Anchored by a hypno-groove and sultry rhythmic structures, it's a production that flows through a myriad of free form motifs. Highly dramatic throughout, ghostly synths and astral effects converge for moments of sonic integrity, while timely drum fills and emerging atmospheres add to its mysterious charm. Redolent synth swells then come in waves, gently evolving across several well timed breaks, before soulful strums put a cap on this meditative gem.

Further diversifying his portfolio Anton showcases a deeper sound on 'OII'. Beautifully constructed, it's tight rhythmic framework is adorned with tepid overlays and wistful qualities. Evocative in nature, it's a creation where the sum of its parts exceeds expectation, relying on harmonic resonance, cosmic designs and a brief but euphoric theme to deliver it's spiritually uplifting message.

The release concludes in fine fashion with the exquisite vibes of 'Mandorlato'. Beginning with chunky bass stabs and spacey atmospheres, it's laid back cadence flows while layers of drums assemble in a lush organic space. Surreal and dream like, tonal creativities and fragmented sonics trail across the framework, smoothly shifting energy into an emotive interlude. Replete with reflective qualities it's an impassioned finale to a stunning collection of music from Anton. One of artistic growth and boundless creativity, setting up what should be a memorable year for the Russian artist.
