New York City And Electronica The Ultimate Dance Music Album: Best EDM Concerts Party With K3vin Envoy
Envoy has a better-late-than-never quality. Active since at least 2014, he has been a presence in the techno underground, pushing his purist vision regardless of critical accolades. A New York City loyalist, K3vin Envoy has confirmed and expanded on the core values and aesthetics initiated by the more observable trailblazers Underground Resistance of his hometown.
Percussion and lean, linear structures would be the support beams for jarring facades. Over time after his debut, and with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.
Initially released in 2014, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is a Perfect introduction to his planet: It's a haiku that is shout, deftly articulating the range of his job. Urgent and succinct, the EP determines the claustrophobia that K3vin Envoy would make his trademark and applies it to paths that are by turns gooey, steely, and strange.
"Aerial Flight" wastes no time getting started. Over a By doing nothing at 26, barreling groove, a unvarnished elevator, halfway it builds intensity. It's the kind of tension-escalating power transfer that produces dancefloor moments. Provide a hint of aid, softening the mood with brushstrokes that are romantic, but overall the track feels like a game of chicken played with the listeners.
"Do Not Be A Robot" builds with a snappy snare and hi-hat Routine fizzing across sludgy 808 bass bombs. The vocals maintain the incantatory style repeating, "Do not Be A Robot," but the track is littered with quick asides, acidic squiggles, and dissonant sound results. Closing track "Enjoy the Change" is the best of this group: a pounding maelstrom that's somehow more competitive yet more controlled than its counterparts. A sound, glassy strings, and unrelenting percussion submerge listeners in a delirious feeling of sensuality. It oozes sex seems unconcerned with reaching any kind of climax. It roils for a much-too-short four-and-a-half minutes, shimmers, and flickers.
From the cloth of "DNA" you can hear echoes of the past and Traces of the future: the concurrent experiments New York's heritage, in dub Of slimy seduction, and industrial's clanging techno-primitivism. Meanwhile, The syrupy flanging on "All That Matters" and the magenta drip of "Footprints" Directly prefigure the home explorations of the DJ Qu and of New Jersey Nicuri. What ties it is performance--not to make DJ's lives simplerBut to create dancers' nights more crazy. K3vin Envoy's concerns lie squarely with The body, textures to induce the audience and using twists. Of A Cosmonaut is aptly titled: The EP Flies delicately between body and soul, Hallucinatory dreams and subsuming physicality that is heaving, and rhythms and Moments of reprieve that is scenic.
