Anton Zap - Water (2x12")

One of the leading lights of a growing collection of electronic pioneers from Russia, Muscovite Anton Zap steps up with an album of gloriously deep, beautifully produced music for Apollo Records. With a background in sound engineering, a back catalogue stretching back to 2007 and a DJing career that goes back a decade further, Anton Zaps music is imbued with a serious knowledge and understanding of electronic music - from ambient movements to the late night thump of deep house proper, here is a producer who is as comfortable making out-there space soundscapes as he is Detroit-influenced dance-floor weapons. The collection of tracks here includes a selection of previously released material (on Jus Eds Underground Quality imprint and Anton s own Ethereal Sound) going back as far as 2008, along with three brand new tracks seeing a release for the first time, and the overarching feeling is of a portrait of an artist who has been slowly, steadily carving out a singular niche.
