Revolutionary Spanish DJ and producer Kramnik has now released his E.P ‘Kramnik 2.0,’ which features two very different but equally fantastic tracks. After the success of his first E.P, ‘Kramnik 1.0, which received positive feedback from a number of world class DJs, this follow-up is set to be just as popular.

That neither song sounds out of place is fairly remarkable considering their creators were an ocean removed from the epicenter of minimal synth, even if the seamlessness also suggests that, as minimal synth compilations go, Schirzo might be a little too convenient, this music isn't as singularly focused or narrowly defined as Schirzo might lead a newcomer to believe. However, as an introduction to this obscure movement, is tough to top.

The restrained and pensive track, like M1, remain hauntingly elemental in construction, and the remains true to minimal synth's fundamental tenet of simplicity, never sacrificing raw emotion for complex arrangements.

The 2.0 EP bloodless synths again play a large part, but this time more like bridges, rather than a canvas. It's a little reminiscent hook-focussed with an emphasis on effects. The motif isn't as strong though; it's really the track's shifting backdrop which makes the whole thing worthwhile.
