( MALONIAN 002 ) KORSAKOW - Abduction EP (12") Malonian Germany

Launched deep into December 2015, Hannover label Malonian returns here with a second release that dips into the mid-'90s production archive of Alexander Kruger. Known for numerous aliases, among them Dub Taylor and Tigerskin, the focus here is Kruger's work as Korsakow; specifically his deep house gem "Abduction". Released as the title track on a 1996 12" for BCC Music, "Abduction" has that timeless deep house feel to it with crisp drum machine grooves, luxuriant pads and some fine vocal samples. It feels just as vibrant some 20 years on and is complemented on this Malonian edition by two edits from Romanian producer Benone, the latter a beefed up version of "Sun of a Gun," another Korsakov cut from 1996.
