The duality of love and pain runs right through the centre of this compelling and highly personal
debut LP from Sasha Pervukhin, DJ/producer from Zolochiv, Ukraine, currently based in Paris. 



Over years releasing on his own Laconica label (as Alex Pervukhin) and more recently working at
Carpet & Snares record shop in Lisbon, Sasha has honed in on a highly evocative, widescreen
sound that draws deftly from his influences in classic tech house, breakbeat and hip hop. Now, on
this new Carpet sublabel Nataraja — created for obscure, dark and experimental club sounds,
downtempo, ambient and beyond — Sasha delivers four upfront and compulsive dancefloor tracks
paired with four noirish vignettes, recounting a heart-on-sleeve sonic narrative about human
contradictions: swagger and vulnerability, hubris and heartbreak.[info sheet from distr.]
