From Russia With Love

From the untamed, murky depths of the internet, I bring you a wondrous and unique pearl. Meet Alexander Goryachev, nom de guerre "813", a Russian superagent armed to the teeth with grimy beats and scouring the planet in pursuit of the secrets of rhythm. First exposed by an Estonian operative, 813 came to my attention with "Asia," a beat so dirty it could be condemned. This track should be considered armed and dangerous, and has undoubtedly had listeners begging for mercy from Moscow to Tallinn.

Next is the much more upbeat (and ambiguously named) "purpur way." Reminiscent perhaps of Passion Pit at their best, "purpur way" sounds like what might happen if Mega Man quit battling Robot Lords and tried his hand at DJing. 813 revealed through his SoundCloud that the track in fact contains a sample from another timeless classic, Street Fighter.

I'll be keeping 813 under close surveillance from now on. He is clearly in possession of highly explosive material and has demonstrated that his operation is transnational in nature. I'd advise all readers to remain on high alert - there's no telling where 813 will pop up next.
