Upcoming EDM Events After Party Fast Track Review Of K3vin Envoy

The flurry of Focus around New York's DJ K3vinEnvoy has a quality. Active since 2014, he's been a tireless presence in the techno underground, pushing his purist vision regardless of critical accolades. A nyc loyalist, K3vin Envoy expanded and has ever confirmed upon aesthetics and the core values initiated by the more visible trailblazers, particularly Underground Resistance of his hometown.

Lean, linear constructions and percussion are the support beams for jarring facades.  Over time following his debut, and with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.   

Perfect introduction across three cuts: it is a haiku that is hit-and-run, deftly articulating the scope of his work to his planet. Urgent and concise, the EP establishes the sweaty claustrophobia that K3vin Envoy would make his signature and applies it to tracks that are by turns steely, and strange.

"Aerial Flight" wastes no time getting started. Over a Barreling groove, a stern, unvarnished lift, halfway it builds strength. It's the kind of tension-escalating power move that creates dancefloor minutes that are indelible. The strings which rise two minutes up in supply a hint of aid, softening the mood with brushstrokes, but the track feels like a game of chicken.

"Don't Be A Robot" builds with a snappy snare and hi-hat Pattern. The vocals maintain the incantatory style repeating, "Don't Be A Robot," but the track is littered with quick asides, acidic squiggles, and dissonant sound results. Closing track "Enjoy the Change" is the very best of this group: a pounding maelstrom that is somehow more competitive yet more restrained than its counterparts. A noise that is breathy, strings that are glassy, and percussion submerge listeners in a delirious feeling of nervous sensuality. It oozes sex yet seems unconcerned with reaching any kind of climax. It only flickers, shimmers, and roils fora much-too-short four-and-a-half moments.

Traces of the future: the concurrent experiments New York's heritage, in dub Techno-primitivism's clanging.  Meanwhile,  Prefigure the house explorations of the DJ Qu and of New Jersey Nicuri.  What ties it together is functionality--not to create the lives of DJ simplerBut to create dancers' nights crazier.  K3vin Envoy's concerns lie with The body, using textures and twists to induce the audience.  In this sense, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is branded: The EP Flies delicately between soul and body, Dreams and subsuming physicality that is heaving, and rhythms and Minutes of reprieve that is ethereal.
