Review: Like Yan Cook before him, Svarog aka Oleksa Moroz is the latest techno producer to emerge from the Ukraine. Phenomenon is his second release on Affin this year, and shows that he is a master of hypnotic, tunnelling techno. "Arctic Lights" and "Fog", with their cavernous textures and heavy sub-bass, set the tone for the EP. While the kick drums on "Thunder" are more rickety, the same esoteric sound scapes are present, as haunting as a winter's night in the Urals. Meanwhile, on "Lightning", Moroz does his best to channel vintage Sandwell District with an eerie acid line unravelling over stripped back drums.
