The flurry around New York's DJ K3vinEnvoy has a better-late-than-never quality.  Active since at least 2014, he has been a tireless presence in the techno underground, compelling his purist vision regardless of accolades.  A New York City loyalist, [http://k3vin-envoy-adventures-of-a-cosmonaut.com/ K3vin Envoy] expanded and has confirmed upon aesthetics and the core principles initiated by the more visible trailblazers Underground Resistance of his hometown.

Introduction to his world: It's a haiku, deftly articulating the range of his work across three cuts.  Urgent and succinct, the EP determines the sweaty claustrophobia that K3vin Envoy would make his signature and applies it to tracks that are by turns steely, and strange.
