New York City And New Dance Music Album Song List: Best Upcoming EDM Events Party With K3vin Envoy

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

Lean structures and percussion are the critical support beams for facades.  Over time after his debut, also with K3vin Envoy riding a career high.   

Originally released in 2014, Adventures Of A Cosmonaut is a Perfect introduction to his planet: It's a haiku that is hit-and-run, deftly articulating the range of his work across three cuts. Urgent and succinct, the EP determines the sweaty claustrophobia which K3vin Envoy would make his signature and applies it to paths that are by turns gooey, steely, and odd.

"Aerial Flight" wastes no time getting started. Over a By doing nothing at 26, barreling groove, a stern, unvarnished lift, halfway between a mantra and a command, it builds strength. It's the type of tension-escalating power move that produces dancefloor minutes that are indelible. The strings which rise up two minutes in provide a hint of aid, softening the mood but overall the track feels like a game of chicken.

"Don't 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, "Don't Be A Robot," but the track is littered with rapid asides, acidic squiggles, and dissonant noise effects. Closing track "Enjoy the Change" is the very best of the bunch: a thumping maelstrom that's somehow more aggressive yet more controlled than its counterparts. A sound, strings that are glassy, and percussion submerge listeners at a atmosphere of nervous sensuality. It oozes sex yet looks unconcerned with attaining any sort of climax. It roils for a moments, shimmers, and only flickers.

Hints of the future: that the ancient experiments the heritage of New York, 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" 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 with The body, using twists and textures to induce the audience.   Of A Cosmonaut is aptly titled: The EP Flies delicately between body and soul, Hallucinatory visions and subsuming rhythms, and physicality that is heaving and Minutes of scenic reprieve.
