Following on from the 'Aset Forever' EP by label bosses Dusky, the next release on 17 Steps comes courtesy of Russian duo Formally Unknown, who've previously appeared on Moscow's Capital Bass and their own Bass Oddity imprint. Out 19th October, the 'Off Peak' EP exists somewhere near the intersection between Detroit techno, UK bass weight and the CoOp scene.

We're very happy to be premiering the title track, which mixes twitchy bleeps and thunderous bass pulses with splintered percussion and a butter-smooth breakdown. So deep you'd need a submarine to even catch a glimpse.

Professional Button-Pusher | Sonic Alchemist | Occasional Time Traveler

Armed with a molecular filter scrambler and an algorithmically sequenced compressor enhancer, Andre Lanine navigates the uncharted territories of Techno, IDM and electronica.

With a sound that fluctuates between the hypnotic pulses of deep minimalism and the chaotic squelch of a 303 on a sugar high, he crafts tracks that could either summon an intergalactic dance party or cause your toaster to achieve sentience.

Forever on the cutting edge, Andre thrives on sonic experimentation—twisting waveforms into unrecognisable shapes, hacking drum machines in ways their creators never intended, and developing new production techniques that probably shouldn’t work but somehow do.

Expect the unexpected. And bass. Lots of bass.
