REVIEW: PARAFRAME - Panic out on Black Hole Recordings

10.0
Overall Score

 



01: PARAFRAME - Panic (Original Mix)
02: PARAFRAME - Panic (Extended Mix)

In 2021 Pavel Khvaleev advanced a bold new vision that began to challenge the very idea of what an electronic music release was. Created as much for eye as ear, his multisensory ‘Exhale’ album launched the Pavel Khvaleev Presents PARAFRAME experience.

From its commencement Pavel’s intention was always to un-dock his name from the project and let PARAFRAME exist in its own universe. At the start of this summer the Denton Swift collab ‘Solid Breaker’ began that process and it continues today with the release of PARAFRAME’s first solo outing, ‘Panic’,

Echoing the unique methodology behind PARAFRAME, ‘Panic’ nestles organically within a nexus of several musical sub-genres. House-patterned drums & rhythmic percussives, technoir bass & harmonics and FX’d electronica are blended into a ceaselessly hypnotic piece, that’s as addictive as it is floor-driving.

The music is only half of ‘Panic’s genius though. Pavel’s mind has envisioned an every-bit-as imaginative visual component to sit alongside its sonics. A work of art itself, its accompanying imagery is part Avant Garde film, part provocative music video and part Dalì-esque artistic canvas.

So, the question is … should you ‘Panic’?? The answer is most definitely ‘yes’

Summary

PARAFRAME aka the always inventive and creative Pavel service another exceptional track named Panic accompanied as always with his futuristic melancholic visuals. Panic is brilliant melodic techno meets deep trance crossover with excellent sound design and the stunning little synthy details and atmospheres upon the deep pulsating basslines, dark kicks, groovy drums and most importantly the nice incredible robotic vocals that work perfectly to add context and make even darker and intense the claustrophobic feeling of it! If you search for an eclectic twist with a visionary artist who follow his own path without following trends then Pavel and his new project will guide us sonically to new audio experiences not to be missed. #PureGold Love IT
