After building up a head of steam on labels such as Craigie Knowes
and Rotterdam Electronix in the past couple of years, Larionov
debuts on Sheffield's Central Processing Unit with the Space
Threat EP. Larionov's previous releases have shown off a musical
sensibility which is both schooled in classic electro stylings and
also able to reach for leftfield sonics in a way which sets the
producer apart from the pack. It's a vibe that continues into this
record, a quartet of busy electro joints which are characterised
by a brooding, neurotic energy.
The opening title-track is precisely the sort of thing which would
soundtrack a voyage to the outer-edges of the solar system. 'Space
Threat' is a nervy, restless bit of machine-funk, the track moving
forward at a midtempo which manages to be at once steady and
slightly fidgety. The beat skitters and swerves, a perpetual-
motion machine of minor-key bass, strange modular flutters and
thwacking snares. All of this is draped in icy washes of keyboard
- think Drexciya if they blasted into outer space rather than
delving deep down in the ocean.
'Asteroid Attack' works from the same blueprint for 'Space Threat'
but ratchets up the intensity a little to take the track to
another galaxy. It's still powered by a livewire neurosis, all
piston-sharp drums and whirligig synth percussion. However, an
increased tempo, strangely poignant keyboard lines and little
snatches of vocoder-drenched vocals turn 'Asteroid Attack' in the
direction of modern practitioners like Cardopusher and CPU homie
Silicon Scally.
Opening up the EP's B-side, 'Flying High' finds a midpoint between
its predecessors, returning to the steadier pace and twitchy vibe
of 'Space Threat' but maintaining 'Asteroid Attack's single-note
counter-melodies and digified vocals - although here the ghostly
treatment on the voice makes for a hugely eerie atmosphere. Around
the four-minute mark, the track peels back the veil of synth pads
and wobbling keys stabs to turn the attention wholly to the rhythm
section, a choice which feels like taking a stiff drink in order
to redouble your energy for the next part of the night.
'Vimana Ride' runs with 'Flying High's approach to see Space
Threat out in style. There's something to the digital vocal sighs
that make up the melody of this cut which gives things a really
uncanny quality - it's the kind of sonic choice that Sadboys
producers like Yung Gud and Yung Sherman would make, but applied
wholly to the service of crafting body-popping, acid-tinged
electro.
Larionov arrives on Central Processing Unit with an EP of
anxiously excellent electro experiments.
