The young Russian with the golden touch drops another massive EP on the ever reliable Senso Sounds imprint. Long since lauded by the likes of Dubfire and Richie Hawtin, Maksim Dark returns to Oliver Huntemann's label for a follow up to 2018's exceptional Movement EP. Conti- nuing the theme, Kinetics is a three track EP with every bit as much energy and attitude. The title track bangs hard, wrapped in a slick production sheen that Dark has made his own. Bubbling synths and warped bass are paired with snappy, tight drum programming for a full throttle tech burner. 'Chainsaw' keeps with the vibe, a super low slung onenote bassline meets precision fire drums and edgy, mutating blasts of sounds. 'Believer' is created from a similar sound pattle, deep spacious synths used sparingly and with great effect, while the rhythm twists and turns around tight, punchy drums.

02. Chainsaw

Andy Kay was born in Eastern Germany and grew up surrounded by the influential sounds of Kraftwerk, Die Krupps, Front 242, and Nitzer Ebb. At the age of just twelve, he discovered his passion for electronic music. His first DJ experiences were humble – using a dual CD player and a basic mixer – but they quickly evolved into a serious artistic pursuit.

In 2007, he co-founded the oldschool EBM newcomer band A.D.A.C.8286. With their high-energy sound and authentic stage presence, the band soon gained recognition within the scene. Performances at renowned festivals like Familientreffen Sandersleben and the legendary Wave-Gotik-Treffen Leipzig cemented their place in the EBM community.

Alongside his band work, Andy increasingly delved into music production. Drawing from classic synthesizers, driving techno and tech house kicks, and bold basslines, his sound bridges the past and the future. In 2018, he released his first solo EP titled "Future EP" under Berlin-based label Der Weiße Hase Records – a release that vividly reflects his musical journey.

Andy Kay has performed in clubs such as Golden Gate Berlin, Der Weiße Hase Berlin, and Club Trafo Oelsnitz. He has also made his mark in the digital realm, with live streaming sets for DeeRedRadio (Berlin), WaveDots Studio (Berlin), and Electrovinyl (Plötzin/Potsdam).

His performances take the audience on a multilayered journey through electronic soundscapes – a fusion of EBM roots, techno drive, and atmospheric depth. Andy Kay’s sets invite listeners to let go and escape the everyday – diving deep into the pulse of the night.
