Siberian 19 year-old Ivan Koreev, also known as Aleph, has been busy working on his new single for King Deluxe records. The new EP, ‘From Chaos To Cosmos’, blends ambient jungle, broken beat Hip-Hop and Chillwave melancholia for a sombre jaunt through the annals of contemporary electronica. The video for ‘Omerta’ has already been featured on XLR8R and the single itself has received extensive coverage on Boomkat.
The new EP also features an outstanding couple of remixes, the first a Distal reworking of ‘Under A Layer Of Ice’ (the original can be streamed below) and the second a Jacob 2-2 reworking of ‘Astyanax Mexicanus’. Distal takes ‘Under A Layer Of Ice’ from a scatty, pitched up Chillwave number to an understated Footwork shaker with rattling tom toms and staccato bass, while Jacob 2-2 takes ‘Astyanax Mexicanus’ into much dubbier territory without descending into wobbly bass anarchy.
‘From Chaos To Cosmos’ is out now, exclusively available through Boomkat for now. You’ll be able to find it elsewhere in around two weeks. You can stream ‘Under A Layer Of Ice’ below before you commit those hard-earned pennies.
