Antent

Antent is the primary alias of Alexander Maslov, a prolific electronic producer based in Perm, Russia. Emerging as a key figure in the internet-driven 'wave' and 'ambient phonk' scenes, his sound identity is defined by a high-fidelity approach to lo-fi emotions.

His work frequently utilizes the sonic tropes of future garage - skittering percussion and deep sub-bass - but strips away the dancefloor intent in favor of cinematic melancholy. Maslov's career saw a massive surge in 2022 with a rapid succession of releases including 'In Your Arms' and 'Far Away,' which solidified his position alongside peers like Øneheart. Critically, he is noted for his ability to maintain a consistent 'mood' across a vast discography, often releasing multiple projects a year that function as continuous atmospheric studies. His influence is most visible in the 'slowed + reverb' and 'dreamcore' aesthetics on social media platforms, where his tracks serve as the definitive soundtrack for visual themes of urban solitude and nostalgia. He represents a modern evolution of downtempo where the production is crisp and digital but the emotional core remains raw and analog.
