'Good Grief'

In a convergence of two of the most celebrated names in contemporary electronic music, Karsten Pflum steps out on Central Processing Unit with the Liars EP. As anyone who has followed either Pflum’s work for labels such as Worm Interface/Furthur Electronix or the Sheffield imprint’s recent run of top-quality electro joints will have expected, this coming together proves to be a match made in heaven.

What we have here is a tour de force of modern machine music. With Liars, Pflum achieves that rare feat of making something that is at once boundary-pushing yet also thrillingly immediate, his attention to detail shining through with each well-placed snare hit or leftfield structural choice. Equally apt for home listening or dancefloor deployment, Liars is a delight for heads and hedonists alike.

Constantly evolving while also cleaving to a relentless groove throughout, opener ‘WAN1’ is a brilliant scene-setter for Liars. The track slinks between sections of seething post-Drexciyan acid and eerie vignettes which balance out haunted house synth licks with the sort of punishing bass blasts that recall early grime classics like Youngstar’s ‘Pulse X’. A sly shift of key halfway through the track only serves to redouble ‘WAN1’s restless brilliance.

After ‘WAN1’, ‘LOLA’ represents something of a gear-switch. The track’s wiggly opening bassline is a red herring - make no mistake that we’re fully into braindance territory on this one, the drums skittering across the mix as Pflum fills the track out with jungle-adjacent delays and softly insistent synth pads. As ‘LOLA’ goes on, blurts of synth and some stiffening in the drum work pushes the track into pure rhythm workout territory.

First B-side ‘MOUSFOLK’ somewhat splits the difference between Liars’ A-sides. This track has ‘WAN1’s unyielding stomp and prominent acid bass line, but the helter-skelter drum breaks and wandering keyboard lines are very much pulling from ‘LOLA’s zanier energy. As with the other joints here, ‘MOUSFOLK’ is elevated by Pflum’s composerly touch, the Dane frequently throwing in new sonic tidbits - a skippy snare tattoo, a single-note synth loop which sounds like a hovering spaceship - that reinvigorate the mix.

Pflum’s musicality is at the fore once more on closer ‘BALM’. For the first section of ‘BALM’, a rich and sombre keyboard fugue, you’d be hard pressed to say whether you’re listening to a producer of club music or a contemporary classical maestro. The way Pflum builds this central motif up with deft broken-beat drum programming, a wheezing synth countermelody and distant vocal sighs is equally delightful, the whole track coming off like a kindred spirit of the electronica-infused experiments on Radiohead’s 2000 masterwork Kid A.

A brilliantly unorthodox collection of electro-braindance hybrids, Liars is a barnstorming Central Processing Unit debut from the seasoned Karsten Pflum.

cusoon dj is the moniker of Andriy Kostyukov (otherwise known as Andriy K.), who is a Kyiv-born and Prague-based producer and dj. Andriy skillfully combines experimental club music with a deep listening downtempo specter of sound.

Andriy has shared stages with: Upsammy, M.E.S.H., Evita Manji, Interplanetary Criminal, Exael, Neu Verboten, Maoupa Mazzochetti,Katarina Gryvul, Diana Azzuz, Jay Glass Dubs, Oliver Torr, Granul & Ursula Sereghy. He is a co-organizer of the Motsion — one of the first musical events that began charitable activities in Kyiv after the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In productions, Andriy has established a strong musical position between tripped-out techno and brain-dance bass music. Through his new moniker ‘cusoon dj’, he draws from previous releases as Andriy K on the Odessa label 'System' with the EP 'Regression Authistics’, and ‘Shelest Dub’ on the Portuguese label 'Surf' - sustaining his main sound concepts through glitchy rhythmic abstraction, while exploring club experimentation, more dynamic structures and psychedelic sound design.
