Bleep

The Bulgarian producer’s latest LP, out via Running Back, drops at a time at which KiNK can legitimately claim to be one of the biggest acts in modern techno. Taking influence from over a decade of producing, DJing and remixing as well as his brain-bending live show, Strahil Velchev’s latest LP is one that really shows his range. For instance, the change of gears between the first two tracks - ‘Soar’s flickering synth ambience into the grizzled dark-room banger that is ‘Yom Thorke’ - is perfectly weighted. ‘Samodiva’ is downtempo par excellence; ‘Peter Piet Piete’ is weirdo-hop that keeps threatening to morph into juke; and closer ‘The Universe in Her Eyes’ is a gorgeous lilt more suited to a Thundercat LP.
