The debut album by Kontext on Immerse Records. Blending key elements of dubstep and techno with classic glitch signifiers and IDM, his music is instantly recognizable and utterly distinctive.
St Petersburg resident Stanislav Sevostyanikhin aka Kontext has been broadcasting his unique sound via a series of releases on the Immerse label since 2008. Admirers of the first two releases spanned quite a wide range of artists, reflecting the diversity of the music, including James Holden, Alex Flitsch, Jamie Odell and Brendon Moeller among others.

‘Dissociate’ is Kontext’s debut LP and, unsurprisingly, makes for an Immersive listening experience – from the delicate shimmering of Rhodes-led intro track ‘Impossible Being’ to the analogue garage-tech of ‘Ocean In The Bathroom’, via the Y3K found-sound dub of ‘On The Bottom Of The Glass’ and industrial electronica of ‘Bilinguism’. This is an album that deserves and requires repeat listening, promising its audience greater rewards the deeper they dig.
