Сьогоднішній мікс від Gothivka відкриває четвертий тип подкастів DISK_D - Character. Це тип записів, де артисти групують музику, виходячи зі стилю, яким вони живуть і надихаються в поточний момент. Задача - проявити характер. В міксі Gothivka зібрала темне диско і треки, які грають співзвучно з ним, підсилюючи цю темну і вишукану стилістику. Мікс звучить ностальгічно і футуристично водночас. Також чудово грає on repeat.

DISK_D is the Ukrainian platform for dance and experimental music producers and their listeners.
DISK_D - is also a symbol of our saved data, that will survive any Windows crash.
During the war, our nation is archiving its cultural heritage as the question of physical survival becomes more actual. This feeling has nothing to do with despair. It is the pulse of our culture and music that continues to resonate through our fight for freedom.

Lvcerate specializes in eccentric experiences, leaning into the darker corners of the dancefloor sound. His minimalistic approach is anchored in a dramatic and confident ambience, characterized by a pervasive acidic touch, EBM motifs, and edgy drums.
He aims to convey introspective narratives while fostering a subtle connection with electronic music.

Starting as a drummer in various post-punk and punk bands, his embrace of genres like industrial, electro, new beat, techno, dark disco, italo and new wave led him to begin producing electronica.

He has been part of such lineups as Black! Factory Festival, Strichka Festival, Closer, Stezhka, Community Café, Veselka, BRUKXT, Laboratorium, Otel’, Arsenal XXII, HVLV and others.

Valera also hosts the program "Cultivating Discipline" on @faderadio, which focuses on 80s-inspired noir music, initially emphasizing the Ukrainian scene

Vestibular Glow is the alias chosen by Sviatoslav Nemchenko in 2021 to start his journey as a musician, debuting in his hometown of Dnipro. He learned to play the piano as a child, so when he later discovered electronic music, it was no surprise that he felt drawn to explore it. Svyatoslav believes that combining both dark and light elements in music deeply enhances the expression of any genre.
The music Svyatoslav creates spans a wide range of genres, yet maintains a distinct, recognizable sound. His influences include EBM, New Beat, Post-Punk, Gothic Rock, Dark Disco, Acid, Synthwave, Minimal Synth, Darkwave, Coldwave, Indie Dance, New Wave, Electro, Industrial, and Italo. Over the years, he has built up a significant body of work through continuous production. Acquiring important skills and knowledge, in 2024 he debuts in a compilation from the HYBRID MOMENT formation with powerful artist.
His debut EP, I Don’t Give A Fuck, released on Regulardisco, is a collection of personal tracks written during emotionally challenging times. After channelling this energy into his music, Svyatoslav made the decision to move to Kyiv and start fresh. The EP is somewhat of a split release, with the first half featuring playful, melodic tracks, while the second half adopts a tighter, harder sound, walking a fine line between dark and light tones.
