Fly Me To The Moon: Dance Music Nyc: Best EDM Party With K3vin Envoy

Envoy has a quality that is better-late-than-never. Active since 2014, he has been a tireless presence in the techno underground, compelling against his purist vision regardless of critical accolades. A New York City loyalist, K3vin Envoy has always confirmed and expanded upon aesthetics and the principles initiated by his hometown trailblazers, especially Underground Resistance.

Linear constructions and percussion are the important support beams for facades that are jarring.  Over time after his introduction, also with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.   

Introduction across three cuts: it is a haiku that is shout, deftly articulating the scope of his work to his world. Urgent and succinct, the EP establishes the sweaty claustrophobia which K3vin Envoy would create his trademark and applies it to tracks that are by turns gooey, steely, and odd.

"Aerial Flight" wastes no time getting started. Over a Barreling groove, a stern, unvarnished lift, halfway it builds intensity by doing nothing at all. It's the type of power transfer that creates dancefloor minutes that are indelible. Provide a hint of relief, softening the mood with brushstrokes that are intimate, but overall the course feels like a game of chicken played with the listeners.

"Do Not Be A Robot" assembles with a snappy trap and hi-hat Routine. The vocals maintain the incantatory style repeating, "Don't Be A Robot," however, the trail is littered with rapid asides, acidic squiggles, and dissonant sound effects. Closing track "Love the Change" is the very best of the bunch: a thumping maelstrom that is somehow more competitive yet more restrained than its counterparts. A sound that is breathy, glassy strings, and unrelenting percussion submerge listeners in a delirious atmosphere of sensuality that is anxious. It oozes sex yet seems unconcerned with reaching any kind of climax. It shimmers, flickers, and roils for a moments.

In the cloth of "DNA" you can hear echoes of the past and Traces of the future: that the early experiments New York's legacy, in dub Techno-primitivism's clanging. Meanwhile, The syrupy flanging on "All That Matters" and the magenta trickle of "Footprints" Prefigure the home explorations of the DJ Qu and of New Jersey Nicuri. What ties it together is functionality--not to create the lives of DJ easierBut to create dancers' nights crazier. K3vin Envoy's concerns lie right with The body, using textures and twists to induce the audience. In this sense, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is aptly titled: The EP Flies delicately between soul and body, Visions and subsuming physicality that is heaving, and rhythms and Heavenly minutes of reprieve that is ethereal.
