A successor to the 2013’s ‘ReBirth’ full-length by COOH was long due on Position Chrome. Crucified between various more leftfield collaborations and experimental art projects we were really starting to wonder when Ivan Shopov’s going to open his bottomless bag of tunes.

Spanning over whole 16 tracks, ’Transcension’ brings one important message - Ivan Shopov is not only still able to deliver his signature harsh take on drum and bass but has a ton a lot more to offer the genre by skilfully playing within its very own not-so-fluid boundaries.

While tracks like ‘Cops’, ‘Anten’, ‘Tron’ or ‘New Advice’ are a perfect platform for the signature COOH slaughter on the dance floor, the record looks as far as downtempo and ambient (‘Trancscence’). In tracks like ‘Splitter’, ‘Rokit’, ‘Snow Box’, ‘Critical Mass’ and ‘Tomorrow’s Harvest’ COOH flirts with a plethora of experimental yet rhythmic electronic genres, be that as vibe, percussive figures or production approach.

To sum it up, ‘Transcension’ is a record that will perfectly fit the taste of the hardcore COOH fan. However, the LP is also a must for the followers of Ivan Shopov’s broad and always varying experiments in electronic music.
