Sales Information:
NTS mainstay Kasra V joins Firehouse Records with a sublime 6 track EP. Featuring a remix from Mike Servito and Justin Cudmore, and a collaboration with Dopplereffekt’s Rudolf Klorzeiger and To Nhan.
“I’ve always admired Dopplereffekt's work, which is monumental to techno, so to have them on board for a collaboration is immense. I like to think of this EP as new millennium post proto trance/IDM.”- Kasra V
A common thread weaves through Kasra’s thoughtful Akasa EP, each track adding an extra element to the journey. The EP opens up with the collaboration with Motor City group Dopplereffekt. Atropa Belladonna is a beatless beauty that flows effortlessly into the breakbeat rhythm of Bloom. Akasa follows with its dreamy synths. On the flipside Otaku delves delicately into IDM territory and Inferno finishes off the EP with its techno leanings, glitchy bleeps and blips that spill into lilting synths. Servito and Cudmore provide their own take on Bloom, stripping it back and creating an intergalactic track with a deeper bassline.
