Sequences For Fluttering

Pro-dubbed sea green cassette with color-printed labels in double-sided full color j-card.

The latest by Yekaterinburg producer Andrey Kurokhtin aka Shine Grooves offers an expansive panorama of the project’s arrhythmic depths and ambient outer limits, beyond the skillful dub techno for which he’s best known. Sequences For Fluttering collects 14 tracks across nearly a decade of home recordings, threading a 54-minute voyage through synthetic woodwinds, cosmic electronica, ASMR breakbeat, new age glitch, and glassy orchestral abstractions.

Taken as a whole, the album effectively demonstrates the subcurrents of the SG soundworld: flickering texture, fractal kinetics, strange yearning, sun-flared haze. An immersive suite of oblique energies and melodies, untethered to notions of dance floor intentionality, let loose to unspool, take flight, and flutter.
