For Animalia’s 11th release, Animalia welcomes Ukrainian producer Volodymyr Gnatenko (@gnatenko) with his EP AbiaA. 

Known for his progressive, trance-tinged releases and live sets, AabiA builds on Gnatenko’s lush soundscaping with five new tracks, including a remix of fellow Ukrainian producer Shjva’s Usu and an additional digital sixth bonus track with Ilya Semaskevich. Deep, atmospheric and emotional, the EP spans dreamy synth lines meshed with breaks, both rolling and downtempo. I first encountered Volodymyr’s sound at a party in Berlin last April, where he played a transformative live set that stayed with me long after. AbiaA perfectly reflects what resonated with me then and still - the entrancing and immersive world he conceives is a rare skill in electronic music, but one I endlessly seek. 

Limited edition CD version available. 

Animalia would like to acknowledge that whilst all tracks were produced in Europe, the label itself operates on the traditional land of the Woiwurrung & Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay respect to their elders past, and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
