I am a scorpion, dreaming I am a man

Some would call it wasted time, others would claim they'd found their path. Many would call it a period of reflection, some may have squirreled those reflections away to face at a later date. A rule book to this scenario did not exist, experiences and reactions differed from person to person; it was a matter of taking things day-by-day for there was no knowing what might lie around the corner...

For their next release Bologna's Random Numbers have rallied together 16 artists for their most ambitious compilation to date. Featuring a stacked lineup of label mates and artists who move in similar sonic circles, the aptly titled 'Second Wave' succeeds their Parallel Routes V/A which saw the light of day at the beginning of the first lockdown. Over 12 hypnotic and mystical tracks, artists like MR TC, Eva Geist and Steve Pepe and Patricia Kokett, channel the moods and feelings we've all experienced over the last year; feelings of absence, desire and necessity.

PREMIERE: Patricia Kokett - PSY [Random Numbers]

Рух (Ukr. – [Rukh] – Movement) is a compilation series launched during the war in Ukraine and released by Kyiv-based label and promoter Worn Pop. All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to the ‘Musicians Defend Ukraine’ fund that helps Ukrainian artists on the frontline. 

From the beginning Worn Pop has established itself as Kyiv’s post-punk influenced formation, booking artists like Boy Harsher, Lebanon Hanover, The Soft Moon and in the same time promoting new Ukrainian acts. The label came to the party scene launching Black! Factory Festival together with Closer Club and since then has expanded its’ borders to regular club nights at Closer and other venues featuring dark and obscure dance music, inviting La Mverte, Kris Baha, Curses and more artists from similar movements. 

All the artists on this compilation built the actual character of Worn Pop by playing at our events. Now they join the very first release in a series that contains 10 tracks exclusively produced by them and thoughtfully folded into one story which can be listened from the beginning to an end as a solid album. 

Among the International names featured, there are Ukrainian acts coming, such as Geuxx, Hungry Boys, Ship Her Son and Aircraft. Their tracks here are written during the full-scale russian war against Ukraine which still goes on.

Reinventions 13

This album is a time capsule of sound, a collection of LoFi, New Wave, City Pop, and Synthwave tracks that feel like forgotten cassette tapes rediscovered at a flea market. Each song tells its own story, yet together they form a narrative about the passage of time, the beauty of imperfection, and the quiet rebellion of becoming who we choose to be. It’s music for late-night drives, for moments of reflection, and for holding onto memories that shape us more than the world ever could.

Wake Me in Your Light

Bionda e Lupo are like little you’ll have heard before, a boy/girl band like no other. Synth wave is fed a line of modern alienation, delusory disco to a disdainful drum beat, house emptied and ridiculed. Rhythms are stark, melodies are as mechanical as the lyrics. Zug Der Vögel is sparse, vocals intertwine in an empty embrace whilst bars sparkle. Твои Глаза [Twoi Glasza] is more playful. Bright words shimmer against sweeping strings. The past is parodied across the EP but nowhere more so than in Die Kinder Aus Dem Park. A former classic dug out before being peppered by machine gun percussion. The stilted rhyme of Eckstein closes, a ballad of bittersweet images and lost hopes.
