ALEX PERVUKHIN レコード& CD

Review: Fresh from delivering a mid-90s progressive house and acid-inspired EP on AiMED, former Rawax contributor Alex Pervukhin makes his bow on Taste Not Waste. The Ukrainian is in fine form from the word go, opening proceedings via the classic Chicago house bass, 21st century tech-house beats, mid-90s breakbeat blasts and spacey synth riffs of 'Intergalactical'. He opts for a deeper and dreamier - but no less stargazing - sound on sumptuous early morning house shuffler 'Wright Right', before cannily combining chunky bass, enveloping pads, creepy lead lines and crispy machine drums on EP highlight 'U Kool'. He continues to swim in deep musical waters on the EP's closing track, an undeniably attractive fusion of dub house, deep house and tech-house entitled 'More Morening'.
