Gorizont Sobytiy (Event Horizon), the duo of veteran electronic musician
Nocow and his wife, DJ Designer, mark the project's debut with an album
worth of material of 'frogg-step' / Pankratov Step. It's safe to say this
is an intriguing proposition for even those well-initiated into the world
of the contemporary Russian underground.
What is perhaps most immediately obvious across the 11 tracks is a clear
appreciation for golden-era Rephlex records, as if the duo are reflecting
on how the iconic label was perceived in the Eastern bloc at the time.
There's a nostalgic touch tugging at the heart strings with the warm
ambient tones of 'Bananoivy Twist' or even the ballroom-esque organ
melodies of follow up 'Chacha', both swiftly followed by a switch back into
frantic gabber style kicks that recur across the album.
To give a little more away in terms of a background story, Nocow and DJ
Designer draw influence from a film called Winter Evening in Gagra, a
somewhat distant feeling artefact of late-Soviet cinema about a tap dancing
champion's late nights spent gallivanting across the glitz of Moscow's pop
music scene in the 1980s. Maximalist in its sound design, Pankratov Step
draws its name from actor-protagonist Pankratov, not quite an out-of-time
soundtrack as such but at the least a wry nod to the former world in which
the film takes place.
The cascading, brittle synthesis of 'Cemetry's Boss' forms an icy cinematic
fusion again with a gabber influence at play whilst a fierce acid line
works alongside myriad glitch rhythms and repeating keys on 'Octopus Werk'.
Influenced by the local humour and sentimentality surrounding the film, a
melodrama with themes of lost art and a kind of old-world transcendence the
young circus performer yearns for, the duo use it as a vessel to describe
the projects sound - a coalescing of vintage Soviet soundtracks, early IDM,
Jake Slazenger and Expert Knob Twiddlers album. 'Pankratov-Step' becoming
their own fictional genre.
The LP marks another avant-garde chapter in Nocow's long back catalogue, as
well as a fully formed collaborative debut for the currently enigmatic DJ
Designer. Pankratov Step is the second release on GOST ZVUK sub-label
MEMONT, curated by Kuzma Palkin.
