Part of the St. Petersburg underground for more than a decade now, @hoavi-music(Kirill Vasin) has released on labels around the world since debuting with Cyclones in 2013. With Phases, he joins the Gost Zvuk roster and builds on his previous ventures into ambient and dub inspired house with a six track mini-album that channels elements of his Phobia Airlines LP. The general atmosphere is built through industrial sound design, moving from quick-fire broken beat and woozy downtempo into rhythmic noise and abstract reductivism. The whole thing collides to form a sort of futurist, machinic statement that relies more on rhythm and percussive synth work than the balancing of melody, seeing the artist hone in further on physical modelling synthesis and computer-generated textures. This mission statement only adds to the inescapable sci-fi aura at work, with Hoavi providing a fresh take on the kind of zones explored by luminaries such as Best Available Technology, Vainqueur / Hallucinator and odd moments of The Flashbulb.

Born in deep space — Dspace — this hybrid set drifts between love and chaos, pulse and pause. Fragments of life, emotion, groove... colliding. A vintage vessel cuts through L.A.'s static. No map, no anchor. Just sound. Just feeling.

Ｅ𝟘⒊⑴ - CAR I FEEL SAFE

This set is inspired by a Malibu sunset, flows like a radiant fusion of golden light and pastel hues, blending warm, melodic/organic house and downtempo grooves that cast a serene glow, mirroring the sun’s slow descent into the Pacific. ☼ So long... ♡

This sound is raw. Unpolished. Imperfect. It is my sonic interpretation. We love. We embrace awkwardness. We’re not afraid to go deep…dark... Not afraid to explore and confront the norms. Not afraid to express emotion. Not afraid to love. We keep chasing those ‘happy accidents’, happy moments. We keep chasing blacksand. Live recorded. Always improvised. 

My love for electronic music was born in the early 2000s — and it's been the core of my life ever since. Drawn to the emotional depth and sonic freedom of artists like Moby, Nicolas Jaar, Bonobo, Four Tet, and Burial, I approach sound as an ocean—vast, immersive, and ever-shifting.

I create without a script — blending textures, rhythms, field recordings, and live instruments into spontaneous, evolving journeys. Always letting music lead the way. Unpredictability is part of the process. Every recording is a one-time moment, a raw expression of transposing emotions and energy.
