Probel, the recording alias of Voronezh-based producer Anton Karpov, approaches electronic music with a strong sense of atmosphere and movement on Let It Go. Released through Weirdrum Records, the five track EP drifts through airy bass music, luminous textures, and carefully controlled rhythmic momentum. Much of the release carries the sensation of suspended motion, as though the music exists high above the ground inside layers of cloud, distant light, and electrical tension. Karpov builds these environments with patience and precision.
The opening pair of “Farewell” and “Wave” establish the EP’s identity immediately. “Farewell” surrounds deep bass tones with soft female vocal pads that hover across the track in blurred streaks of melody and texture. The percussion remains agile and active beneath the atmosphere, maintaining steady movement. “Wave” continues along a similarly spacious path, introducing toy piano and styled synth lines combined before deeper bass and measured percussion settle into place. Sparse male vocal fragments drift through the arrangement with subtle placement, adding texture to a composition already rich with tonal detail. Across both tracks, Probel demonstrates impressive restraint in the handling of rhythm, melody, and low end pressure.
The EP also benefits greatly from its presentation and production team. Arseniy Motorin’s mastering preserves clarity across every layer of the mix, allowing the bass frequencies, vocal textures, and percussion to occupy distinct warm spaces.. The artwork from metttanoia and Daniil Chernov complements the music’s atmospheric qualities beautifully, matching the release’s floating visual language with equal care. Weirdrum Records continues to strengthen its catalog with releases that value detail, immersion, and strong sonic identity and Let It Go stands comfortably within that tradition.
“Forgiveness” shifts the EP into more energetic territory with one of the record’s most intricate arrangements. Distorted reese bass tones drive the composition while bright plucked leads and electric piano passages introduce flashes of color across the track. Female vocal samples weave through the percussion and synth work as layers enter and disappear in carefully timed succession. The rhythmic programming carries strong momentum throughout, drawing together elements of techno, bass music, and braindance into a densely constructed piece filled with movement and texture.
The closing stretch of the EP moves through darker tonal territory before gradually returning toward lighter melodic spaces. “Dancing On The King’s Grave” combines textured vocal pads, deep bass, soft ambient synth layers, and tightly controlled percussion into a composition filled with energy and tension. The drum programming moves at a lively pace while maintaining measured balance inside the mix, giving the surrounding textures room to remain fully present. “Migratory Birds” closes the release with hollow lead synth tones that resemble air moving through metal reeds, accompanied by sustained bass notes that cut sharply at their endpoints. Its percussion carries strong momentum while the melodic material introduces a gentler atmosphere that provides an elegant closing statement for the EP.
Let It Go presents Anton Karpov as a producer with a refined command of pacing, texture, and atmosphere. Each composition contributes something distinct while maintaining a coherent artistic identity across the release as a whole. Between the detailed production, strong mastering work, and carefully shaped sonic environments, Probel and Weirdrum Records have delivered a thoughtful and richly crafted electronic release that remains consistently engaging.
