Pixelord, aka Alexey Devyanin, is already a veteran of electronic music. The Moscow based producer has gained international recognition for his sound, which is the perfect cocktail of synth driven alternative bleeps and bass heavy beats. With previous releases on Error Broadcast and Leisure System, Pixelord now turns to Hit and Hope for his next release – Keramika.
Keramika will be available February 13th 2012 on both 12″ and digital. Pixelord will be playing shows in both the UK and Berlin early 2012 in support of the release.

Following on from last year’s Dachshund Skank EP by KLIC, we have asked some of our favourite producers of the moment to add their own slant to the originals which gained DJ and radio support from the likes of Martyn and BBC6 Music.
Greymatter continues with his new love for Chicago-styled synth and drum machine work-outs with his jacking take on Forwards, while Pixelord and Gerry Read take the track Mustard Tiger in two very different directions on the flip.
The digital release sees the talented new boy Blacksmif and Hit and Hope regular Naive Machine add their respective twists to round off the release.
Naive Machine unleashes the Robot Ramification EP on Hit and Hope Records. Fusing their hip hop roots with current underground sounds and vintage analog sonics.
Om Unit brings a slow burning, chugging house rework of Afrika as an exclusive for the vinyl buyers, with Virtual Boy, Pixelord, KRSUR, Pete Cannon and Jon Phonics supplying reworks for the digital release.
KLIC recently featured on the Greymatter remix EP’s and currently has tracks forthcoming on Brownswood and Mr Bongo Bass. This new release on Hit and Hope sees him create an EP which merges the aquatic sonic qualities of Dub-Techno with UK Garage’s swung 2-step rhythms and deep subs.
DJ support and airplay from the likes of Headhunter/Addison Groove, Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6Music), Cosmin TRG, Greymatter, Mr Lager, Mr Beatnick, Bun Zer0 (Sub FM), and Sonic Router.
