Artist: Koloah
Title: 'You Can Get Me'
Label: MUSAR Recordings
‘You Can Get Me’ is Koloah’s first record for MUSAR Recordings, out on 5 June as MUSAR022, on digital and a 12 inch pressed to 200 copies. Three of his own tracks sit alongside a remix of the title cut by Binary Digit, the Grenoble producer who runs Postal Code Records and has previously turned up on Opal Tapes.
Behind the name is Dmytro Avksentiev, who spent the best part of a decade at the centre of the Kyiv scene before relocating to Berlin. He is not short of outlets. He also records as Voin Oruwu and as Tropical Echobird, and in 2019 he started Salon Imaginalis as a home for records that refuse to sit still in one genre. He came up through film rather than clubs, with a directing background and continuing work alongside filmmakers and visual artists, and he has held an artist residency at Q21 in Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier.
MUSAR is Dweedo’s label, run out of Amsterdam, with Annie Hall, San Proper, Nightwave and Ricardo Tobar among the names in its catalogue. The EP runs ‘You Can Get Me’, ‘Get Me Close’, the Binary Digit remix, and closer ‘Liminal Forest’. Shane McEnhill mastered it at Finyl Tweek, with sleeve design by Supremat. On what he is chasing, Koloah keeps it short: “Atmosphere is the core of all my music and what I pay the most attention to.”
