Russia might not be the epicenter of electronic music from a western point of view but the German label Ki records likes to spread out its ears worldwide searching for unique music and producers. Thats how it happened back in 2012 when Vlad Kudryavtsev aka Monokle first appeared on the labels catalogue with his critically acclaimed Saints. The nine tracks and three remixes strong debut release on Ki of the St. Petersburg based producer werent his first releases but the first that caught the attention of reknown magazines.Its as if Coco Rosie and Boards of Canada came together to make music. A dreamy version of IDM with signs of PostDubstep or Warp wouldve released some of these tracks as classics back in the day should make the producer very proud since hes a big fan of the legendary British imprint. In Russia the album was even priced with an award and a big bottle of Vodka. Which fluids were responsible for the creative process of his new album is left to speculation. Two years Monokle was busy creating these 11 tracks and he got support by some fellows from the flourishing Russian electronic music scene. His close friend and partner in crime Milinal who also made a remix for the 2012 release Saints gave his voice for the second track on the album Calypt”. Also another Ki family member the Moscow based vocalist Gala Ga who is the lead sing of the band Aanbreken is featured on the song Blow.The album opens with Rouse which combines a timpanyesque melody and ghostly vocals with a spheric bed of sounds.In Calypt Monokle shows his full talent as a songwriter. The vocals of Milinal are perfectly aligned on a track full of live acoustics and organic sounds. In Backwash Monokle focuses more on the dancefloor oriented side of his productions and delivers a perfect late night track ready to keep the crowd on the dancefloor moving and dreaming!Holytin” feels like a track that was made for Ki. It perfectly combines melancholic sounds to a track that makes us forget the day to day life and takes us into a better world: The world of music with all it’s facets which Ki is all about.
