Toronto-based label Afalinas has made a grand entrance into the electronic music scene with the release of Fin Groove, the debut EP from Ukrainian DJ and producer Olekhar. Olekhar's four-track EP is heavily influenced by the lively energy of dolphins from the Black and Azov Seas, creating an immersive experience for the listeners.
In Fin Groove, Olekhar takes the audience on a 27-minute sonic journey that merges the timeless essence of 90s breaks, ambient house, and the distinct style of early 2000s tech-funk, electro, and deep house. The EP encapsulates Afalinas' vision of blending vintage vibes with cutting-edge production techniques.
Highlighted tracks such as "API Call" and "WLB" showcase Olekhar's mastery of sonic textures. "API Call" presents a dynamic, tech-driven groove with a touch of nostalgia reminiscent of the early breakbeat era. On the other hand, "WLB" delves into deeper, mesmerizing waters, offering an ethereal soundscape that is both hypnotic and meditative. These tracks seamlessly integrate into the broader sound of Fin Groove, creating a captivating listening experience from beginning to end.
