Відкриваємо розмовні подкасти DISK_D Exchange розмовою з головою електронних лейблів Mystictrax та Nonside - Володимиром Lostlojic. Ця людина добре знайома більшості учасників електронної сцени не тільки України, а і в країнах Європи, з багатьох причин, в тому числі через невпинне регулярне видання альбомів непомічених раніше талантів українською електронної сцени, через футуристичний підхід до створення обкладинок, через регулярні вечірки лейблу, через невпинну підтримку та організацію зборів для війська і багато чого ще. Отже, запрошуємо побути свідками нашої розмови, яка пролітає на одному диханні - про музику, про виживання, про гонорари, про хасл, про комьюніті, про розчарування дітей, про кирилівську, про майбутнє неодмінне 20 річча лейблу Mystictrax, і ще про багато що. Залітайте і кайфуйте! 
Фоном звучить музика Lostlojic видана в різні роки існування лейблу.

We start DISK_D Exchange conversational podcasts with the head of the electronic labels Mystictrax and Nonside - Volodymyr Lostlojic talk. This person is well known to most participants of the electronic scene not only in Ukraine but also in European countries, for many reasons, including the constant regular releases of albums by previously unnoticed talents of the Ukrainian electronic scene, the futuristic approach to creating covers, the regular label parties, the constant support and organization of gatherings for the army, and much more. So, we invite you to witness our smooth conversation - about music, about survival, about fees, about hustle, about community, about children's disappointment, about k41 club, about the future indispensable 20th anniversary of the Mystictrax label, and much more. Join and enjoy!
The background music is by Lostlojic, released in different years of the label's existence.

Наш наступний розмовний подкаст DISK_D Exchange 003 із українською діджейкинею та продюсеркою, яка поєднує життя в Києві та Нью-Йорку - Ana B. Настя починала тусоватися в київсьому клубі Хліб і з часом стала організаторкою та артисткою вечірки Uklon в Нью Йорку. Перед повтомасштабним вторгненням стала частіше бувати в Києві, а в липні 2022 вона спалила портрет Путіна під час виступу на берлінському HÖR: перелякані адміни знесли ефір, але потім поновили. Настю шанує квір спільнота та київська молода гард-техно тусовка. Вона ставе як важкий, так і сексі саунд в своїх сетах, пише власні треки, які сьогодні будуть грати фоном до нашої розмови. Ласкаво просимо побути з нами ці 46 хвилин спілкування з чарівною та надихаючою пані Ana B.

Наступна гостя розмовного подкасту Disk_D Exchange ukr 004 - це професійна вокалістка, викладачка мистецтва співу та електронна продюсерка Наташа Евенбах. Вона має класний сучасний підхід в навчанні співу, регулярно проходе навчання сучасним технікам, сама пише музику, а остання її розробка для залучення до співу аматорів співу- friendly choir, була натхненна співом із Bobby McFerrin. Спів - це, з одного боку те, що кожен з нас має всередині, але дуже не багато хто з нас здатен цим якісно користуватись. 
Про те, як опанувати свій голос, як мотивувати студентів, як піклуватися про себе і хаслити в сфері викладання музичних мистецтв - в нашому новому подкасті з чарівною пані Наташею Евенбах!

Також нагадаєм, що в наших розмовних подкастах фоном звучить авторська музика наших гостей подкасту. Сьогодні так саме фоном грають ще невипущені треки Наташі.

Meet @seeen3 — a Kyiv-based DJ and producer, @halas_kyiv resident. His selection focuses on deep, melancholic, and driving dance rhythms to form harmonious journeys where electro, tech house, and techno take the lead stylistically.

"This mix is built around my discoveries in dark disco and indie dance that have come my way over the past few years. It’s filled with tracks from all over the world, produced mostly in the pre-COVID era. The combination of these EDM directions creates a sensual and energetic, at times deep atmosphere — one that leaves a slightly psychological imprint throughout the set." — shares Sen3.

This selection of music is a perfect example of a bit darker and slower side of @regulardisco we sometimes tend to showcase. It takes you on a journey from the first minute and doesn't let go until the very end.

Social(ist) Edits series returns with 6 refixes by Pierre Labret, French electronic producer and head of the Abstract Reality Records label.
This selection of Acid, Electro, and Italo Disco remixes of old and obscure gems transports you into a distinctive side of Labret’s musical universe, one of cyborg bats dropping acidic guano on politicians, abandoned factories inhabited by grimy urban cryptids, and floating Mayan pyramids beneath a stormy, menacing night sky.

There is a fine line between the concepts of Edit and Remix on these tracks. Although the original audio elements were preserved and used as a foundation, Pierre has completely reinterpreted most of them by adding his own synthesizers and drum machines, creating a new meat carcass over the original skeleton.
The result is a collection of enhanced, radioactive mutant versions of the originals.

The release opens with an Edit of a track by late industrial artist and Palestine activist Muslimgauze.
Symbolically, the release will be out on June 17th, Bryn Jones’ birthday.
As always, all edits are available for free, but any support is welcome, as contributions from this release will be donated to an gascf.org organization supporting children in Gaza in order to carry on with the fight for human rights in Palestine..

The story of Konsistent’s connection to Electric Shapes began thanks to a mutual friend—Nikita—who introduced us. That introduction led to a meeting at the Digital Tsunami festival, where hours of inspiring conversations revealed a shared vision and passion for underground music.

Konsistent quickly became one of the first well-established artists to support what we were doing. He recorded an early episode for the Electric Shapes podcast series, giving the project a major boost in its formative days. More than just a guest, he played a key role in shaping the label’s direction.

In fact, Konsistent was the one who pushed us to take the leap from SoundCloud-only releases to launching a proper label on Bandcamp. Without that encouragement, Electric Shapes might have remained just a podcast platform.

He contributed to our very first compilation, returned for the fourth edition, and has once again joined us for the latest release—marking an ongoing creative relationship that’s become part of our core story.

Outside of Electric Shapes, Konsistent’s music has landed on some of the most respected underground labels: Lio Press, Eine Welt, Space Ritual, Sounds of Ogigia, Kalahari Oyster Cult, Macadam Mambo, and brokntoys. His sound—raw, hypnotic, and deeply textured—resonates across genres and borders.

His role in Electric Shapes goes far beyond collaboration. Konsistent helped us believe in the potential of this project—and he’s been helping shape it ever since.

People sometimes speak of something that happens frequently as happening 'ever so often'. But when something happens only occasionally, it happens every so often. Ever so often is a monthly show at Operator by Samira, a dj that usually comes back to a darker palette of melancholic electro, acid and new beat.

The second mix in the Hybrid Moment x Egor Strelkov series comes from Kyiv-based DJ and producer Lvcerate — an artist whose approach gravitates toward the darker, less obvious edges of dance music.

Lvcerate is also the curator of the Cultivating Discipline show on Fade Radio.

His style blends minimalism with a dramatic yet confident atmosphere, acid-tinged textures, aggressive percussion, and an avant-garde sensibility. Each of his mixes is an intimate story that opens a path to a deeper connection with sound.

The fifth and final mix in the Hybrid Moment x Egor Strelkov series comes from AKU AKU — DJ, co-founder of Dificult Dance, our friend and a true musical experimenter. Seamlessly blending diverse genres, he seeks out unique and unusual tracks infused with a special kind of energy.
“Hybrid Moment, for me, is a space to explore and to share the darker side of my musical selection. Working on this mix coincided with stirring changes in my life connected to military service, turning the process of listening and

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.
