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

The recent flurry of Focus around New York's DJ K3vinEnvoy has a quality that is better-late-than-never. Active since at least 2014, he has been a tireless presence in the techno underground, pushing against his purist vision regardless of critical accolades. A nyc loyalist, K3vin Envoy expanded and has ever affirmed upon the core principles and aesthetics initiated by his hometown trailblazers Underground Resistance.

Lean structures and tough percussion would be the support beams for jarring facades.  Over time following his debut, also with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.   

Originally released in 2014, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is a Introduction across three cuts: it is a haiku that is shout, deftly articulating the scope of his job to his planet. Urgent and concise, the EP determines the sweaty claustrophobia which K3vin Envoy would create his trademark and applies it to tracks that are by turns steely, and odd.

Over a By doing nothing whatsoever barreling groove, a stern, unvarnished lift between also a mantra along with a command, it builds strength.  It's the type

of tension-escalating power move that produces dancefloor moments that are indelible. Supply a sign of aid, softening the mood but the course feels like a game of chicken played with the listeners.

"Do Not Be A Robot" builds with a snappy snare and hi-hat Pattern. The vocals maintain the incantatory style repeating, "Don't 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 this group: a pounding maelstrom that's somehow more competitive yet more restrained than its counterparts. A noise, glassy strings, and percussion submerge listeners at a delirious feeling of nervous sensuality. It oozes sex yet looks unconcerned with reaching any sort of orgasm. Instead it shimmers, flickers, and roils to get a much-too-short four-and-a-half moments.

Traces of the future: that the concurrent early experiments New York's heritage, in dub Techno-primitivism's clanging.  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 together is functionality--not to make DJ's lives simplerBut to create dancers' nights crazier.  K3vin Envoy's concerns lie right with The entire body, using textures and twists to drive the audience.  In this sense, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is aptly titled: The EP Flies delicately between soul and body, Hallucinatory dreams and subsuming physicality that is heaving, and rhythms and Minutes of ethereal reprieve.
