Три года назад именно с пластинки Алексея Никитина, известного также под псевдонимом @nocow, начал свою работу лейбл ГОСТ ЗВУК. В эти первые дни весны мы с особой радостью анонсируем выход его полноформатного "Ледяного альбома" — музыкального посвящения русской зиме как состоянию природы, всегда занимавшему особое место в национальной художественной традиции. В оформлении пластинки использовались работы Игоря Грабаря и Архипа Куинджи.

«Немного на свете таких потрясающих по красочной полифоничности моментов, как солнечный день инея, где цветовая гамма, ежеминутно меняясь, окрашивается в самые фантастические оттенки, для которых на палитре не хватает красок» — И. Грабарь

Nocow "Ledyanoy Album".
Fort "Krasnaya Gorka".

It’s been three years since we launched Gost Zvuk with a record by Aleksey Nikitin, also known as Nocow. Now in the first days of a new spring we are happy to announce the release of his full-length “Ledyanoy Album” – a musical dedication to the Russian winter. This season always played a special role in the national art tradition. The cover design is graced with the works of Igor Grabar and Arkhip Kuindzhi.

ГОСТ007: Алексей Никитин "Ледяной Альбом"

Russian producer Nocow debuts on Rekids with five murky tracks, pre-order on vinyl and digital now - https://lnk.to/REKIDS112

Based in St. Petersburg, Nocow is undoubtedly one of Russian electronic music’s most remarkable protagonists having released on Clone, Figure, Fauxpas Musik, Gost Zvuk and Styrax. Recognised for maintaining consistency whilst traversing various sub-genres, Nocow is as comfortable producing intricate IDM and robust techno as he is calm ambient and melancholic electronica.

In ‘Soul Connection’ a spoken word vocal mutters over metallic percussion and ominous stabs whilst a dense pad washes over everything. An undulating synth and ethereal effects make up ‘Disappear’ before moving onto syncopated drums and shadowy atmospherics in ‘Samaya Dolgaya Noch’. Next up, ‘Stop’ is comprised of mesmerising melodies, sturdy kicks and a looped vox until Nocow concludes the package with a short 2-step cut titled ‘Aesthetic Mind’.

LFRMX005 - Philipp Gorbachev | Nocow
A1 Philipp Gorbachev - 5th New Century ft. Polina (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
A2 Philipp Gorbachev - Lazer ft. Interchain (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
B1 Nocow - K$$$$ (Len Faki Hardspace Mix)
Releasedate: 22nd of January 2018

Len Faki is ready to share another batch of his personal secret weapons, this time giving away three floor-focused edits, starring a pair of Russian producers Philipp Gorbachev and Nocow. 

First up are two takes from Gorbachev‘s recent LP, a throwback into the rave scene‘s heyday. featuring anthemic synths and even front-row vocals by Polina. The catchy album opener gets rigged with a solid fundament and peak time-friendly bpm, while similarly sumptuous cut Lazer waltzes through Faki‘s tested and well-proven percussive layers.

Boasting massive low-end impact on the flip, the Hardspace Mix of Nocow‘s K$$$$ hits a special spot, mixing heavy bass, IDM-grade level of detail and Ghetto-ish vox into a unique and heady power-blend.

As with all releases of LF RMX, the proceeds of this record will be forwarded to the Berlin
organization Straßenkinder e.V. to be used in actions against child poverty.

Russian producer Nocow returns to Rekids with an enthralling full-length album entitled ‘Atoner’ this November.

Real name Aleksei Nikitin, Nocow is known for his versatility, producing a large body of genre spanning work on labels like Clone Royal Oak, Figure, Fauxpas Musik, Gost Zvuk and Styrax. The St. Petersburg-based producer debuted on Rekids last year with his ‘Samaya Dolgaya Noch’ EP, a mellow release complete with vocal driven cuts as well as 2-step rhythms, and now returns with a myriad of productions in a fourteen track album entitled ‘Atoner’.

‘Atoner’ opens with an eponymous track that gently unravels with soaring synths and subtle percussion before Nocow’s voice emerges alongside twinkling atmospherics in ‘Complie’. Throughout the long player are also intricately produced short tracks sitting between the two and three-minute mark such as looping vocal number ‘Dancerecter’, the melodic and rattling ‘Leto’ and ominous ‘Delore’.

Ostanovitsa’ is a murky offering featuring a meandering organ riff, leading into the pitter-patter drums and serene chords of ‘Starveme (feat. Tayut Ogni)’. ‘Come Along’ is a crystalline and otherworldly experience from start to finish, whilst ‘Melting Lights’ is comprised of echoing, subterranean sounds, making way for reverberating snares and metallic stabs in ‘Standalone’.

Husky murmurs and soothing notes then make up ‘Neva’, moving into the syncopated beat and idyllic chord sequences in ‘Can’t Get Enough’ ahead of ‘Stonecold’ and its icy aesthetic. Finally, the album reaches a mesmerising conclusion with the spellbinding ‘Footer’.

Atoner

Nocow - Ostanovitsa

Five years ago, the expression ‘Russian electronic scene’ had borne a tone of futurology and expectancies rather than a real state of affairs. It was possible to put together musicians of local and genre importance easily in general, but not of significance in national scale. With rise and further development of ГОСТ Звук, Russian electronic music achieved power not only as cultural phenomenon within country’s borders, but also proved fully to be a thing of international meaning. Starting operations in 2014, the label quickly defined its domains of authority and engagement and created full-bloody community of musicians, where everyone has a special view on his own work and unique sound. The projects presented on this compilation can be rightfully called the contemporary vanguard of Russian and global electronic music.

Each of resonant artists holds his own disparate creative field and impact. However, in this diversity the unity of creation of beauty and ingenuity is born, that distinguishes Russian independent electronica. All compiled tracks perfectly characterize the artists involved, sometimes from extremely striking sides; chaotic improvisations and ethereal grooves, unearthly landscapes and undistracted concisions. Both electric boffinry and club anthems merge into united vision, placed in graceful frame of Rashad Becker’s mastering.

Maybe this compilation won’t close the question ‘What is the Russian Sound?’, which has been raising for more than a twenty years. Nevertheless, it is able to give an extensive view on the evolution of Russian electronica in the 2010s.

Aleksei Nikitin, whose first release kindled the GOST ZVUK history (and whose brilliantly sparkish "Ledyanoy Album" was issued on the label a couple of years ago), goes back to Ground Zero after his trilogy on Figure and REKIDS' "Atoner" LP. All four tracks of the ninth GOST INSTRUMENT's vinyl present a rather way-out approach, surprisingly uncommon for Aleksei's form style. But this seemed minimalism tends to be valid only at first glance. Starting from plain rhythm, "Elektromechanika's" further groove is drifting on lots of tousled synths. "Far Voices", an exercise in interweaving of echoes and voice samples, ends right at the moment when you expect track's next iteration. The B-side is not without surprises too: the acid beat of "Oasis" rises almost suddenly after drone-alike "Monothone". Summarizing all the above, getting into this record is not only the extremely clear case, but you should also try to play it from random track, or even in "B2-A1" order.
