Angelov - Chero

Seeing a Solomun set, whether live in person or online via video, often ends in jaw-dropping wonderment. This is not simply a result of his own awesome productions, but also his Diynamic Music selections. Of the latter, today's post arises from a video clip of a Solomun set in which he plays "Chero," a track from Ukrainian producer Angelov's debut EP Cabora.

Released this past Friday, Cabora is a collection of four equally alluring techno tracks, and while the opener "Retrida" is an undeniable standout, I feel "Chero" shows the most promise in Angelov's upstart abilities. Wobbling to life, the pulse of this track is an animalistic one, almost mimicking the snort of a hog hunting for truffles. However as the track grows it becomes more clear that we're not dealing with creatures of this world but rather some alien outpost, especially evident as the slithering synths enter around the two minute mark. By three minute mark the gravity and chemistry of the additional synths offerings are enough to have you firmly affixed to the dance-floor, as though "Chero" has you locked in with a tractor beam. Angelov's masterful mix of these synths, the perfectly placed percussion and undeniable animal energy makes "Chero" a weapon of dance destruction. Get it now here.
