APLTRONIC 008LP
|
An uncompromising return comes from Apparel Tronic: the internationally known Russian duo SCSI-9 is back with Squares And Circles an eight-track album. The eighth record in the label's electronic catalog is an abstract, geometric, but above all, analog journey through Anton Kubikov and Maxim Milutenko's souls; an identifying concrete work of research which displays the "two-dimensional and mathematical" approach of their connected minds. The whole double-LP is musically pervaded by all the sound investigations they made throughout the production period and tells of their inner perfectionism. Coming to the raw music itself, they succeed in a complex process of making simple what's extremely heterogeneous, embodying the psychological theory of the thought against the speech: it's easier to talk than to think. Well, they talk perfectly through their music which is really difficult to separate into tracks, being such a climax of organic emotions, flowing from the opening "No Rush" with its tight rhythmics and space-y atmospheres to the more low-key and harmonious approach of "You & Me"; rolling on to the firmest and energetic constancy of side-B starting with "Get Some Lfo" and slowing down again with the meekest, warm, far-out sensations of "Stairs and Stars": this track is one of SCSI-9's watermarks on the album and it's a drive through an ascendant field of harmonies, peaking at its zenith and oscillating back to a state of peace, letting the last beat taking over. Uncrating the second LP of the package, you access the substantial envelope of "Pha In The Hau" and "Systematic", a track that instantly takes you to an unknown region between the moon, Chicago, and Ivory Coast, dancing along to some sort of Zaouli tribe percussions. D-side brings the perspective to the edge of SCSI-9's universe gives you an even closer look to the landscape they've created with this treasure album. "303 Views" is the last wind storm on the Lake Michigan, touching all the musical influences that come from that specific area of planet Earth while the last blow "Onigiri" is a soft lysergic guided tour on their very own trigonometric asteroid, with no fear of falling off it. Squares And Circles is a determined, hard-lined, and intransigent statement of what Anton and Maxim want to communicate with their vibrations; no matter if you don't get the whole point, just plunge into the these waters.

Gatefold double LP version with free CD. SCSI-9 (Anton Kubikov and Maxim Miluytenko) present their fifth full-length release. SCSI-9 are by far the most recognizable and booked house/techno duo from Russia. With a total of more than 50 releases and 120 tracks so far on labels such as Traum/Trapez, Salo, Freizeitglauben, Morris Audio, Highgrade, Force Tracks, Tyrant and Kompakt, they have earned great respect worldwide and are famous for their eclectic and crystal-clear tech sound. Their "Mediterranean" touch made them stand out among the Russian electronic music community and gave them the role of the "New romantics" and the "Originators of the Russian Deep" according to worldwide press. Their Line Of Nine (KOMP 051CD/ KOM 138LP) album showed their pop touch in the new Russian deep house movement -- laidback, cheerful, melodic arrangements growing slowly into a groove. SCSI-9 continue their odyssey through the oceans of electronica, this time together with long-time friends at Klik Records. Inspired by the works of Jean-Luc Godard and Arthur Rimbaud, Anton and Maxim now steer their boat over deep and slow waters. Focusing on the sound that made them famous in the beginning, they experiment a lot with dub and dark ambient and step away from the pop-forms of their recent past. "Schaukel Duo" marks their new dubby statement, slowly evolving into the perfect companion for an early-morning drive. "Nostalgia" keeps a similar dubby tone, using a guitar to get you in summertime mood. "Song From The High Tower" and "I'm Lost" include vocals from singer Gregor Ladenhauf (Zanshin, Ogris Debris). "Alphaville" is deep house par excellence which includes vocal bits from Stylish Murphn morphed beyond recognition and samples of a duduk (a traditional Armenian pipe). The cover photos were contributed by Russian photographer Mikhail Rosanov, who shot them during a recent expedition to Antarctica. With Metamorphosis, SCSI-9 show a musical snapshot of today's reality and transmute real life with a totally new overall sound.

PROTEZ 014EP

"Prime time action on Pro-Tez. Label lords SCSI-9 launch their new Symbols EP with two smokin' tracks. 'R7L20' is the more housy of the two, with triolish percussion arpeggios and a jump bass. 'E )' on the flip side comes more techno, with a dark vocal sample from a Cologne classic and pushing forward snare and hihats. Both tunes exalt the floor, so be careful with this 12"!"

SCSI-9 (Anton Kubikov and Maxim Miluytenko) are Moscow's most endearing minimal techno/house act, and this is their third full-length release. From Salo to Force Tracks, Trapez, Tyrant and beyond, these lads have captivated DJs and dancefloors around the world with their remarkable ability to construct an uplifting, emotive mood fuelled by the pulse of the unprejudiced, techy beat. Dance music has evolved to astronomical proportions over the years in Russia and SCSI-9 manage to keep on top of it; whether it be hosting international talent or through their overlooked label imprint Pro-Tez, their contributions and dedication to the growth of the minimal scene there is immeasurable. Though they've kept the vinyl purists intoxicated with a steady stream of 12" singles, it's been over two years since their 2006 Kompakt album The Line of Nine. With Easy As Down, they're back in full effect, gracing us with their trademark deep, emotive minimal house again. This album puts forward a fantastic cluster of dimension and depth to an overpopulated world of disposable, faceless music that exists in minimal techno currently. In order to enhance the organic feeling of their music, they invited some live musicians to their studio. But don't worry, Easy As Down is far away from blimpish lounge jazz. At the point where classic deep house is bound to its tradition, SCSI-9 pursue a more scientific and modern approach, while still worshipping the beauty and spirituality of the old school.

PROTEZ 006EP
|
"Overview: The sixth installment of the U.S./Russian Pro-Tez label is a three track Flight Mode EP by label bosses SCSI-9. Now Russia's oldest minimalheadz release an EP on their own label -- for the first time. Flight Mode presents three tracks made during their recent journeys over Europe and South America. Created somewhere between Florianopolis and Subotica. The title track truly starts off with full-speed flashing one back to famous tunes. More dubby but with some edge lines on 'Walking Through The Fog' will keep fans spiced up with clicks and synths. Free from everyday workout, a bit apart from the usual Kompakt-esque sound, but these works retain a distinct lyrical touch, which made SCSI-9 loved for -- especially 'Submoon,' featuring a deeply arpeggiated piano solo. Due to the small print-run, this record may soon become a phonographic rarity. A must for all SCSI-9 fans."

Kompakt veterans Anton Kubikov and Maxim Miluytenko have traveled far since embarking as Moscow's most endearing minimal techno/house act SCSI-9, and this is their second full-length release. From Salo to Force Tracks, Trapez and beyond, these lads have captivated DJs and dance floors around the world with their remarkable ability to construct an uplifting, emotive mood fuelled by the pulse of the unprejudiced, techy beat. Dance music has evolved to astronomical proportions over the past years in Russia and SCSI-9 have managed to keep on top of it; whether it be hosting international talent or through their overlooked label imprint Pro-Tez, their contributions and dedication to the growth of the minimal scene there is immeasurable. And now it's time, though they've kept the vinyl purists intoxicated with a steady stream of 12" singles, it's been over 3 years since their debut album Digital Russian (Force Tracks), and they've come up with their most accomplished work to date with The Line Of Nine. This new release puts forward a fantastic cluster of dimension and depth to an overpopulated world of disposable, faceless music that exists in minimal techno currently. Fans of SCSI-9's Force Tracks days will be delighted to indulge through tracks such as "Eclair De Lune" that whispers the early-20th century's magic of minimal-house with a delicate twist of classic piano and sweeping synths. The vocal ballad that echoes throughout the title track, "The Line Of Nine" reminds of Herbert & Dani Sicilliano's finest moments -- pure coffee-house bliss. And of course for those yearning for the traditional values of classic Cologne techno, fear not, as the latter part of the album (including the single "On The Edge" -- one of Kompakt's biggest singles of 2005) they raise the roof and bar for many of the local Cologne community.

HIGH 031EP

"On our journey within the global minimal house orbit; we are happy to pick up Russian tech-house Kosmonauts unit SCSI-9. Anton Kubikov & Maxim Milutenko alias SCSI-9, known from their releases on Kompakt and elsewhere, gave us two charming tracks, to spread their glowing vision of Moscow's electronic starry sky into the global village. On their debut EP for Highgrade they come up with their more house-y side: two lighthearted but deep tracks, touching Detroit landscapes, as well as Berlin/Cologne and French ones and adding their very own touch, beautiful! Tom Clark couldn't resist to remix such compelling stuff and created a track a la John Tejada, something between minimal house, pure energy and tech disco, Highgrade at its best!"

KOM 129EP

Anton Kubikov and Maxim Milyutenko are old veterans of the Russian club scene, with over 20 releases on Trapez, Morris Audio, Force Tracks, Kompakt, and so on. On The Edge contains three tracks, three essential pearls of techno-pop that couldn't be more perfect or more beautiful. Melodious and danceable. Infatuatingly elegant. Salacious, but still possessing a classy restraint. How tender these Russians can be. Heavy rotation, man.

KOM 081EP

"It should not be necessary anymore to introduce this Russian wonderkid to the public. His numerous releases on respected labels like Traum, Trapez, Salo, Freizeitglauben, Force tracks and others can be found in every record box from here to Novosibirsk. With 'All She Wants' he undoubtedly delivers his ripest production to date. A strong piece of emotional, driving techhouse with a highly recognizable vocal sample some older people should have heard somewhere before... This track has truly mesmerizing qualities when it comes to open the audience's hearts. On remix duty we find two of the most promising producers around these days. Known through his incredibly creative outputs on Musik Krause, Robag Wruhme transfers the original into a fierce shuffle monster in its own right. The Wighnomy bros add an excellent light weight minimal house version and everybody who checked their latest Freude Am Tanzen outing 'Bodyrock' should start mouthwatering now. It's the new breed here, ready to conquer your attention. For now and ever."
