Review: Described by TAU as a "Ukranian prodigy", Aikon has taken his brand of wide-eyed, heads-down dancefloor fare to labels including Renaissance, Diynamic, Multinotes and Radikon. He's clearly a genuine talent, because the This Is Power EP is excellent. His trademark sound sits somewhere between warehouse-ready tech-house, deep house and neo-trance, with occasionally nods towards dark disco. That blueprint is explored to the fullest on the EP-leading title track, a mind-mangling affair full of faintly threatening square wave bass, shimmering chords, jacking machine drums, dubbed-out melodic motifs and rave-ready stabs. He reaches for echo-laden minor key organ stabs, dark noises and clandestine beats on the aptly titled 'Big', before opting for a deeper and smoother sound of 'Hypnotic'. Closing cut 'Just Wanna Dance', meanwhile, is a mind-mangling slab of tech-house hypnotism.
