Thoughtcrimes by Alexey Dunchyk
Secret Keywords is a vinyl and digital techno label based in Berlin, founded by Gianmarco Silvetti and Natascia Parisella.
Exploring new sounds is a focus for the project, where new experimental shades of techno have lead to featuring artists such as AWB, Conrad Van Orton, YYYY and Michal Jablonski.
Belarus born, and now Barcelona-based, Alexey Dunchyk is a promising talent who once again impresses with four original cuts on the new 'Thoughtcrime' EP. His back catalogue includes Bas Mooy's Mord sublabel Kazerne, as well as Arnaud Le Texier's Children of Tomorrow, Lewis Fautzi's Faut Section, and Oliver Rosemann's Recorded Things amongst others.
"Thoughtcrime 1" begins the release with a tubular sounding hook and shuffling percussion that create a powerful and interesting analogue atmosphere.
Next, "Thoughtcrime 2" steps into a tougher techno realm, with crunching effects and intense textures resembling shocks of lightning help generate a gritty aesthetic.
Third up, "Thoughtcrime 3" has a more hypnotic flavour, using droning tones and pulsing sound waves to maximum effect. Trippy and engaging, this an edgy yet mesmerising track.
Closing with "Thoughtcrime 4" screeches into action with a distorted, alarm-like chime bellowing and morphing into heavier prominence. Haunting chords add an ethereal touch to this wild an industrial take.
