CORR 063EP
|
Correspondant welcome V, the once-mysterious man behind now-legendary head-turners on Cin Cin, Nautilus Rising, and his own Le Temps Perdu. A triple-headed technoid narrative of many layers; "1995" immerses you gently with a palpitating bedrock that's delicately built up with humanzed textures and oceanic chords, "2001" uses the physical thrust of sprightly EBM motifs to drive you into the bleak new century while "2017" kicks with a pneumatic drive and a dizzying chain of chimes and harmonics. A fittingly rattled, dramatic and dynamic Fabrizio Mammarella finishes the EP.

HHMM 300EP
|
The "industry" of dance music can be as soul-crushing as any other. Those thrills and spills of late, loud nights come with an expiration date, after which even the most seasoned selector-producer-scene maker begins to wrinkle their nose. To have experienced it all and seek to see it unfold again, what sort of lunatic would willingly do that? V would. Who was the mysterious V in a past life? Make your own conclusions. A little digging will lead you toward the origin story, but sometimes the pleasure comes from the unknowing. Remixes by Autarkic, Jamie Paton, and Fred Und Luna.

NEK 006EP
|
V's take on house music comes at the listener from an outsider's perspective, as his native Ukraine traditionally hasn't been a hotbed of this genre. Consequently, 13th District hits your ears at an odd angle, as V (aka Vakula aka Mikhaylo Vityk) bends somewhat familiar tropes into fascinating, fresh shapes. Clearly enamored of American funk, soul, and jazz, V recalibrates these familiar elements -- the amino acids of house -- into dream-logic.
