Dropped on Opal Tapes, the eight track album rides the fine line between experimental, techno, and industrial, an album that seems to match English record label Opal Tapes\u2019 modus operandi. Shadow Medium is a dark, mysterious journey through what might only be described as an interzone between war, peace, and heavy industry. The album starts off with a skippy, squelchy track called \u201cOverlap\u201d that probably belongs at a 90s rave, but is entirely welcome in 2016. \u201cDenial\u201d showcases the Kazan, Russia native\u2019s interest in ambient, crafting a heavy techno track that has plenty of empty space to develop its sound. \u201cTender Pink\u201d is the standout track off Shadow Medium with deep bass kicks that would knock the concrete off a missile silo\u2019s walls. Put another way, imagine if Andrei Tarkovsky\u2019s Stalker (1979) was less religious and more secular.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Vatican Shadow, Vakula, Lustmord<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1 (Overlap), 3 (Denial), 5 (Tender Pink)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: None<br \/>\nWritten by Mike Van Esler on 09\/21\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark techno and ambient from an up and coming Russian producer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":260,"featured_media":49793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182],"tags":[2694,5491,5492,2976,5493,2553,5490],"class_list":["post-49792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","tag-ambient","tag-industrial","tag-opal-tapes","tag-russia","tag-shadow-medium","tag-techno","tag-yancitygurl"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/YancityGurl_ShadowMedium.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/260"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
