Anna Kost is forging a luminescent path for herself in the sometimes shadowy world of techno. Alienated by the political regime of her native country like so many of her generation, the 23 year-old producer and DJ spent the pandemic quietly developing a distinctive sound. After surfacing on Soma Records and Warok Music in 2021, her EP ‘The Very End Of You’ on Scuba’s enigmatic techno offshoot of Hotflush Recordings, Who Whom, sets out an overview of her approach to the form. Rooted in European techno but with heavy influences from the broken-beat sounds of the UK underground, the EP combines technical dexterity with a stylistic literacy that belies her limited catalogue. As a DJ, she exhibits a similar precocity. Her mixes for Slam Radio and Cosmonauts Athens feature an expert feel for shifting moods, with a rare ability to blend contrasting styles to create something entirely new.
