Dimitri Kechagias review:

Kostya Outta - Contact Area 10

Summary

Kostya Outta enters the Afterglow Records catalogue for 2nd time with his very strong progressive house track Contact Area. We deal here with deep driving tribal progressive house with superb build up and even psy trance influences. He applies upon his chunky playful pulsating grooves some very unique synthy layers in a very playful way by transforming them and stretching them in order to build tension and anticipation with infectious result for the listeners who simply will be easily locked in its sonic space world. Contact Area its progressive house as it should be with clever construction that navigates listeners through its magical world. #PureGold Love IT
