New York City And Electronic Dance Music Artists: Best Party New York EDM With K3vin Envoy

Envoy includes a quality that is better-late-than-never. Active since 2014, he has been a presence in the techno underground, pushing against his purist vision regardless of critical accolades. A nyc loyalist, K3vin Envoy has always confirmed and expanded on aesthetics and the core principles initiated by the more visible trailblazers, especially Underground Resistance of his hometown.

Percussion and lean constructions would be the critical support beams for facades that are jarring.  Over time after his introduction, and with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.   

Originally released in 2014, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is a Perfect introduction across three cuts: it is a haiku to his planet. Urgent and succinct, the EP determines the sweaty claustrophobia that K3vin Envoy would create his signature and applies it to tracks which are by turns gooey, steely, and odd.

"Aerial Flight" wastes no time getting started. Over a By doing nothing barreling groove, a unvarnished elevator between a mantra and a command, it builds intensity. It's the type of power transfer that produces dancefloor moments that are indelible. The strings which rise up two minutes in supply a hint of aid, softening the mood with brushstrokes that are intimate, but the track feels like a game of chicken.

"Don't Be A Robot" assembles with a snappy trap and hi-hat Pattern fizzing across sludgy 808 bass bombs. The vocals keep the incantatory style repeating, "Do not Be A Robot," however, the track is littered with rapid asides, acidic squiggles, and dissonant noise results. Closing track "Enjoy the Change" is the very best of the group: a pounding maelstrom that's somehow more aggressive yet more controlled than its counterparts. A noise that is breathy, glassy strings, and unrelenting percussion submerge listeners at a feeling of sensuality that is nervous. It oozes sex seems unconcerned with attaining any sort of climax. Rather it shimmers flickers, and roils to get a minutes.

Traces of the future: the ancient experiments the legacy of New York, in dub Industrial, and slimy seduction's clanging techno-primitivism.  Meanwhile, The syrupy flanging on "All That Matters" and the magenta trickle of "Footprints" Prefigure the psychedelic house explorations of New Jersey's DJ Qu and Nicuri.  What ties it is performance--to not create DJ's lives simplerBut to make dancers' nights more crazy.  K3vin Envoy's concerns lie squarely with The body, textures to induce the audience and using twists.  In this sense, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is aptly titled: The EP Flies delicately between soul and body, Visions and subsuming rhythms, and heaving physicality and Moments of ethereal reprieve.
