Drawn 2 U

Cédric K Gasaïda aka Starving Yet Full (singer of former Canadian band Azari & III) and Victor Karzalov (half of Russian duo BYPASS), are about to release their first vinyl EP, Drawn 2 U, under the moniker BLENT, on newly launched French label Empirical Magnetism.

Swinging between dub- & deep-techno, minimal and deep-house, BLENT’s Drawn 2 UA-Side, lulled by Starving Yet Full’s androgynous vocals, is the kind of song that is gut-wrenching to the listener, taking the audience to a dimension overflowing with deep and dark sexual feelings.

On the B-side, Ali X (also a member of the late Azari & III) is delivering a rather sinister and haunted techno remix — distinguishing himself nicely from the original, whereas French band dOP unveils a fairly more melodic and dancefloor-oriented interpretation while keeping the essence of what makes Drawn 2 U so unique.
