Gost Zvuk (ГОСТ ЗВУК)prepares for a busy 2023 with an enthralling double LP’s worth of futurist sound design from Flaty. In the game for more than a decade now, the producer, mastering engineer and all-round visionary artist has delivered an impressive range of music across both his own ANWO imprint as well as Firecracker, West Mineral ltd., 12th Isle and more.

Always content to subvert expectations and blur stylistic lines, on Intuitive Word there is a clear fascination with a spectral, whittled-down-to-its-core type of avant-pop/RNB hybrid. Digital strings, dubbed beyond recognition semantic snatches, re-imagined new age style synthesis and even flourishes of MMORPG computer game soundtracks all combine into something that feels uniquely Flaty. In a sense, Intuitive Word marries ambient sound collage and hyperreal, narrative-style vocal processing. However, glimmers of shoegaze and old ‘ethereal’ bands (think Harold Budd & Cocteau Twins) crop up on tracks like ’Tree’ and ’Nepal Lit’, a testament to Flaty’s skill for world-building and atmospherics.

Across the 19 cuts there is a recurring theme of choral style, computer generated elegies. A kind of 'cristal trance’, in their words. ‘Mint’ combines these with overtly RNB style vocal samples, whereas darker, more broken beat soundscapes can be heard on the Madteo collab ‘Observer’. With plenty of sombre and cinematic style ventures such as ‘NEWS’ breaking up the album and eschewing this focus on vocals, we find one of the most consistent producers in the current Russian scene delivering what may well be his most accomplished collection yet.

First up for this return is a new long player by the mighty fine Kurvenschreiber quarter, which is made up of Sergey Komarov, Vlad Dobrovolski, Ilya Sadovski and Alexey Grachev. These sound artists have been excelling in their field for some 10 years now and use synths as well as found sound objects to create their work. Magnetic tape loops, various instruments, pre-recorded loops, shortwave radios, transformers and much more give rise to this unique record which mixes up Boolean jazz, kurventronika and post-rock.

PREMIERE: Kurvenschreiber — Schleifenkopf (Udacha, 2023)

Black Seven Music welcomes REIN.  for a slick and rhythm driven two track EP, Sunrisin’, delivering a deep yet energetic sound perfectly crafted for late night sessions and peak time floors alike.

Opening with the title track ‘Sunrisin’, REIN. blends punchy percussion with hypnotic grooves and rolling low end warmth. Layers of intricate rhythms and atmospheric textures glide throughout, giving the track a sophisticated yet undeniably driving edge.

On the flip, ‘Soul’ takes things deeper, leaning on moody basslines and shimmering percussion while weaving in soulful vocal elements for a raw and emotive finish. It’s a cut built on tension and release, showcasing REIN.’s knack for blending underground grit with subtle musicality.
