"Rhizome is a side-project of Russia’s most stylish and intellectually challenging techno producer. Nikita Zabelin manages, with impressive understatement, to both continue the time-honored traditions of Detroit and grant them a local resonance. Over the last five years, he has pondered the interface of architecture and sound, industry, and audible minimalism. The skyline of many Russian cities is a lasting testament to Soviet industry; the soundtrack they require should be severe, angular, and yet restrained. Rhizome turns the lines, light, and angles of that architectural heritage into remarkable instrumentals. They give voice to a fading diligence and dignity.”
