Anton Zap - You Are Not Alone EP

A week after Juno Plus revealed Berlin based label Millions Of Moments was launching a UK dubstep/funky/garage influenced sub label, we’re given a timely reminder about what made the MOM name in the first place: straight up, emotive deep house and techno. And who better to repress than Russian producer Anton Zap, whose You Are Not Alone EP – first released in late 2009 – constitutes one of the label’s finest moments. Sit back and allow the pool cue percussion and sparse, mechanical chords to envelope your headphones in “Classic Dub”, a master class in the ‘less is more’ school of production. This shares the A Side with the sombre shuffle of “Kingdom”, before the skeletal drums of “Party Down Dub” opens proceedings on the flip. Final track “Adide” is imbued with the most groove of all, with expertly arranged bass and bongos reminding us once again why Zap is one of the most respected names in contemporary deep house.
