“Obsession”
Obsession EP (out now on Phonica)
The stand-out of the anonymous Russian producer’s follow up to last year’s Never Look Back, “Obsession” is an engulfing slab of warm, elegant house. While little is known about the man behind the boards, it is clear that he is greatly influenced by the languid deep house of 90s, evidenced here by the sweltering synth pads, seductive single-note melodies, and pulsing backbeat. That said, it’s far from simple pastiche, and though the track lyric-free, it’s clear that the rising producer has his own voice and something unique to say.
