You decide to finally clean up the drawer in your desk. You pull out a 1992 calendar with the Bulgarian football club «Etar», a postcard with the Riga TV tower sent to you by a person whose bare buttocks you sometimes remember, then you’ll pull out a bitter resentment for the fact that in the eighth grade no one called you to dance at school disco, and a dusty mix of Krjuk for 5/8: the radio which you turn on whenever you want to imagine yourself as a tanned resident of a sanatorium in Gagra.

Today's mix is a guaranteed way to immerse yourself in sweet languor, even if you go for a beer to the local bottle shop in Lytkarino. We want to thank Alexey Kryuk, musician, DJ and a member of the Soft Metal band, for taking the time to find this treasure among his countless archival creations

Apartment 140, ninth floor. Yegor stuck his large shaved head out of the bedroom window. Low in the night sky, the lights of a plane were gliding by, and soon the familiar hum of jet engines would catch up. Yegor wished he could be there on board right now. And not flying to some far away place, but coming home. Fidgeting in a not-so-comfortable seat, waiting for the landing, and looking out of the window at the familiar concrete high-rises on the outskirts of the city, the occasional cars on the roads, and the streetlights casting a soft yellow glow on the empty yards and streets. Then there would be the taxi ride with an overly chatty driver, the familiar clank of the key in the door lock, and a home that feels and smells a little different after a long absence. Like putting on a winter coat for the first time in a year. And when the floor in the living room creaks underfoot, as it always does, there will be a sudden, special kind of comfort — just like the feeling when you turn on the Sasha Foam mix for 5/8: radio.

Sasha Foam - 5/8 Radio #241

You suddenly hear the distant clatter of train wheels somewhere far away. And in your memory surfaces a summer day when you were still very young. A winding forest path. The crunch of pine cones under your feet. Clouds glimpsed through the branches of towering trees. You already know — what comes next is everything you once loved: the creak of the old metal gate at the dacha, the rope swing hanging from the willow bowed over the pond, ice cream melting in the summer heat from the kiosk in the neighboring garden settlement, the echo of your footsteps through abandoned pioneer camp buildings, the smell of your mother's vegetable soup wafting from the kitchen, the locomotive's whistle and the rhythmic clatter of express trains rushing past the station. The only thing missing would be kaisou's mix for 5/8: radio. And that, of course, is a rather regrettable oversight

PREMIERE: Tamer ElDerini - Aheem (Original Mix) [Ario Vibes]

David Soto - Lefkada (Extended Mix) [Sag & Tre]

"It feels like a transfer into another reality - the world inside you, that opens up more pure opportunities to be heard. While listening you can imagine yourself somewhere where you’ll find coziness. That's the place where your emotions can be more intensive and your power can be more deeper. 
The recording of this mix was an intimate moment, which I can feel every time I listen to it again. My mission will be fulfilled if someone can find a calm and inspiring place inside himself while listening."
