There’s a lot of techno out there but none of it sounds like Stanislav Tolkachev. In the past few years the prolific Ukrainian producer has molded his love for old school techno with enormous doses of experimentation and tension. The results have been incredible. His EP for M_Rec Grey Series (‘Depth Of Light’, released in 2013) grabbed everyone’s attention thanks to off-key interpretations of fast and forward driving techno, reminiscent of the rave years. These are soundtracks to psychoses, filled at the same time with excitement and nervousness. Impossible to ignore. This second EP for M_Rec Ltd Grey Series 11 (titled ‘All Night Vigil’) opens with ‘Vitamin K’, a Vangelis-on-LSD intro where melodies get crooked and queasy while still delivering large amounts of feeling. ‘That’s Where the Dog is Buried’ is an almost-ten-minutes trip where jazzy analog sounds become increasingly unstable, incited by a pounding bass line. You can play this track in its entirety and, for once, people will literally freak out. On the flip side, ‘All Night Vigil’ is much less playful. Tolkachev’s signature build up of synthetic sounds is endlessly manipulated over a bed of very aggressive drums. These acid experimentations remind us of the Universal Indicator series on Rephlex, but in 2015 things got a lot more disturbed and wild. Closing the EP is probably the most dancefloor friendly of all the track. Titled ‘The Chance for Both of Us’, the cut revolves around an equally untamed acid refrain, although soundscapes and reverb grant it a beautiful sense of melody. Drum programming is kept raw and stripped down making the track perfect for the most unconventional and adventurous sets.
‘All Night Vigil’ is a thrilling release of very experimental techno.
