Hedonic Treadmill by Strachkvas

Ever-hailing from somewhere in-between both Ostrava and Brno (Czech Republic), Strachkvas, a solitaire producer and visual artist, has been successively building a significant local acclamation. Shortly after his extensive study period in Helsinki where he focused on sharpening both DJ and production skills, he now presents his very first comprehensive release coming out on Gin&Platonic.
Just like in his own remarkable visuals, the sound elements in Hedonic Treadmill tend to morph into picturesque percepts of dissolved rhythms formerly to be easily recognizable. The gripping entrée in the form of Skirmish Line is followed by Tipping Cascades, where the long - abandoned regularity is enlightened again from a very different production angle to create new, rather grotesque shadows. By the end of the track, the emotional cocktail of both happiness and anger seems to be well balanced, but is quickly shaked again right after beginning of the next piece. With SoyBoy which marks the most directly driven track off the EP, Strachkvas is speeding up as he stays loyal to his roots in desruptive and ever-accelerating DJ sets. As the hedonic treadmill slowly stops to roll with Face Reveal, it leaves the listener's pleasure level way below the satiation threshold.
