# Korsakow – Deep In Space
Korsakow emerged from the electronic music scene of the 1990s as a distinctive voice in experimental electronic production. Working within the expanding landscape of electronic music during this era, the artist crafted a sound that blended multiple genres into cohesive compositions that pushed the boundaries of conventional dance music.
Deep In Space, released on Müller Records in 1997, represents a significant moment in dub techno and electro experimentation. The 12-inch vinyl captures the artistic direction of mid-1990s electronic music when producers were increasingly merging techno's mechanical precision with dub's spatial effects and textures. This release exemplifies that transitional period when electronic music was becoming increasingly sophisticated and layered.
The album's centerpiece, "Deep In Space," sprawls across twelve minutes of immersive soundscaping. This extended composition establishes an atmospheric journey, utilizing cavernous reverb and spacious production techniques characteristic of dub techno. The track builds slowly, allowing listeners to drift through its constructed environment rather than propelling them forward with driving rhythms. In contrast, the B-side "Shake It" offers a more energetic, uptempo alternative. At under five minutes, this track shifts the focus toward electro's more kinetic possibilities, providing rhythm and movement where the A-side offered contemplation and space.
Together, these two compositions demonstrate Korsakow's range within electronic music's experimental wing. The pairing showcases both the meditative and danceable sides of 1990s electronic production, making this Müller Records release an intriguing artifact of the era's technological and artistic possibilities.
