Aleksander Vinter better known by his alias, “Savant” is often referred to as ‘The Mad Scientist Of Electronic Dance Music’. His new album, “Invasion” is testimony to this fact.
Each track in this album carries a significantly altered BPM average, beat focus, melody, and musical theme. Every sound used by Savant will take listeners back to those sounds used in computer games.
Check out our track-by-track review of the album right below.
‘Orphan’ is a tune full of heavy bass. Cool distortions effects and haunting sound effects give it that cinematic atmosphere. The track has great dark melodic layers along with stretched and chopped vocals as well. Its trippy, exciting and very colourful as well.
‘Upgrade’ is a cinematic dubstep track with cool vocal samples, warm feel good melodies, rough edged bass and spacey sound effects which collectively create a mind blowing sonic experience for the listener.
‘Invasion’ combines electro house beats with a big dubstep meaty part in the breakdown. It is distorted, squeezed and also has a touch of cool melodic layers.
‘Pizza Power Alien’ proves that pizza definitely had an influence on the album as confirmed by Aleksander (we don’t know whether he was kidding or not!).
‘Trap Slut’ is a playful and energetic dubstep tune with plenty of creativity and experimentation that involves indie rock infusions, cinematic strings, heavy bass distortion and action packed arrangement. This will definitely make you feel energized.
‘Change’ is powerful and highly energetic with electro infused basslines, progressive driving beats, old school break beat references, cool vocal samples and feel good happy melodies.
‘Pixel Bee’ is a nice chilling slow dubstep track with some melodramatic melodies, catchy grooves, grungy, distorted, squeezed and turned basslines and even some ethereal vocal samples.
’Innocence’ is an interesting fusion of jazz, chunky crunchy basslines and plenty of funk which will definitely make the listeners dance their heart out on the dance floor.
‘Return’ is a beautiful melodic synth based track which is really glitzy, groovy and very funky as well with an alien like distorted voice on top.
‘Basement’ is a superb dubstep version that will cause big headache to your parents for sure. It starts really atmospheric with a feel good melody and huge chunks of breaks and then lands on the fat, absolutely ruthless, rough and highly distorted dubstep section.
‘Colorblind’ is a highly infectious track with melodic riffs to get the crowd dancing and pumping. The breakdown is very atmospheric and dreamy with a heartfelt piano melody that is followed by the full on bass attack on the floor.
‘1997’ is an excellent hybrid of dubstep sounds, styles and influences in truly underground style that isn’t afraid to go against the trend and explore new territories. With superb reggae dub, trip hop and even dubstep and jungle samples, the track will take you on a dark, moody and sinister journey to an alternate world.
‘Broken’ is a powerful and unstoppable dubstep fire crasher with heavy basslines, dark and sinister melodic themes. It also packs huge amounts of monster energy and drive to keep the levels of intensity to the maximum.
‘Desperado’ is an equally breathtaking sonic experience to widen your music horizons. It starts with a cool ambient mysterious intro and then moves to a hybrid section of dubstep, drum n bass, break beats and cinematic atmospheres. Its certainly rough and absolutely mind grabbing.
Apart from the name being awesome, ‘Problemathematicalculatorture’ is arguably one of the best tracks on the album.
‘Massacre’ is a powerful track that starts with breaks/dub section. The next sequence is rougher and wilder with small sequences of epic synths that add atmosphere and melodramatic sound to the track. The breakdown includes great melancholic piano melodies followed by energetic dubstep infused beats.
‘Dreamscape’ is a fat banging smashing rough and wild dubstep hymn packed with attitude, energy and a rebellious feel which will ensure mayhem on the dancefloor.
‘Killer’ is a full on dubstep track that is aggressive and energetic. This track is pumping and bouncy loaded with heavy distorted freaky basslines and ragga samples to add some short intervals of sunshine and then the manic drum is back along with the dirty bass to continue its underground adventures.
We can definitely say that this album has taken the Dubstep genre to another level. Every track has those fun elements that will take you on an endless journey. ‘Invasion’ is Savant’s answer to what a commercial dubstep album should be.
