Second Passage longplayer by Sergey Suokas (known as Slow) is out now. Suokas is fairly recognized by his releases on Resting Bell, Multi Vitamins, Metroline and Algorythmik. He also acted in a plenty of versatile collaborations and projects: Suokas, Slow & Svea, Hot Arctic. Sergey also arranged some pieces in «Spaces» album by Feldmaus, worked together with dOP and AI on joint tunes, recorded original soundtrack for the silent movie «Mother» in team with Mental Overdrive and Aggie Peterson.
This time Slow presents a full-size sonic dreamwork. Here’s what Sergey says about this album: “I willed to make this album sounding a bit lo-fi dried – a little hues from the past, world of dreams and unexplored lands, a little femininity and tenderness, simple and somewhat psychedelic melodies, all in all just for a pleasure listening”, - and that's our spring wish for you. Take your time.

Sergey Suokas was born in Petrozavodsk in the north of Russia. In solo he produces freaky minimal techno as Suokas, ear-friendly melodic electronica as Hot Arctic and atmospheric abstractionism as Slow. Soon after he started his own productions he hooked up with other likeminded people in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and many other cities eventually resulting a plenty of great musical connections.
Suokas composed music for silent movie "Mother" as Electron Hemisphere (with Mental Overdrive and Aggie Peterson), arranged ambient compositions with Feldmaus (also known as Modul) and produced vocal pop-electronica with Svea. He also participated in one-shot collaborations with dOP and AI (as Ritturbont). Working under many aliases Sergey always keeps atmospheric and glitchy mood full of smooth organic noises and pure life with a certain nothern touch in his music.
