Максим Садовий aka Sad Fetish: Від металкору до модулярного хаосу

З маленького містечка Ладижин походить творець нещадних ритмів та індустріальних пейзажів — Максим Садовий, відомий у техно-спільноті як Sad Fetish. До світу техно Максим приєднався відносно недавно, на хвилі розквіту української рейв-сцени. Проте саме модулярні синтезатори з їхнім хаотичним переплетінням проводів і необмеженими можливостями звукового дизайну стали для нього справжнім одкровенням. Як зізнається сам Sad Fetish: "Коли я починав, я в принципі не уявляв, що збираю — мною керувала жага до люті, нойзу і експериментального звучання".

Дебютний реліз Максима "Digital Garbage" побачив світ на лейблі Insane Industry, а його творчий шлях продовжив останній реліз "Cradle of Carnage" (Колиска різанини). За словами автора, цей альбом виріс з універсального для українців відчуття тривоги: "Це та колиска, яку ви кожен раз прокручуєте собі перед сном, коли ви стривожені лягаєте спати, ви не знаєте, що буде далі і вам моторошно від того всього. Базовий стан, всі це розуміють." Реліз майстерно передає ці відчуття через звукові полотна, що балансують між агресією та вразливістю.

Це другий реліз на лейблі DISK_D і перший в 2025. Для нас велика радість презентувати таке плотне і важке техно на сьогоднішній українській електронній сцені. Нехай ця музика подарує певний катарсис і дасть можливість пережити всі відтінки гніву, на що ми всі маєм тут повне право, живучи поруч із таким їб..нутим сусідом-терористом, як росія. Тому — запрошуємо в цю катарсичну пригоду, го слухати альбом!

Maksym Sadovy aka Sad Fetish: From Metalcore to Modular Chaos

The creator of merciless rhythms and industrial landscapes, Maksym Sadovy, known in the techno community as Sad Fetish, comes from the small town of Ladyzhyn. Maksym joined the world of techno relatively recently, on the wave of the heyday of the Ukrainian rave scene. However, it was modular synthesizers with their chaotic intertwining of wires and unlimited possibilities of sound design that became a real revelation for him. As Sad Fetish himself admits: "When I started, I basically had no idea what I was building - I was driven by a thirst for rage, noise and experimental sound."

Maksym's debut release "Digital Garbage" was released on the Insane Industry label, and his creative path continued with this latest release "Cradle of Carnage". According to the author, this album grew out of a universal feeling of anxiety for Ukrainians: "This is the lullaby that you play every time before going to bed, when you go to bed anxious, you don't know what will happen next and you are terrified by it all. The basic state, everyone understands it." The release masterfully conveys these feelings through soundscapes that balance between aggression and vulnerability.

This is the second release on the DISK_D label and the first in 2025. It is a great joy for us to present such dense and heavy techno on today's Ukrainian electronic scene. May this music give a certain catharsis and give the opportunity to experience all shades of anger, which we all have every right to feel, living next to such a f..n.t terrorist neighbor as russia. Therefore, we invite you to this cathartic adventure, go now listen to the album!

Mystictrax w/ Bodro (03.10.25)

For the next physical release of FERMA welcomes back Romphea, who is a co-founder. He has long shaped the label’s uncompromising DIY ethos—placing experimentation, raw energy, and community at the heart of its vision.

Building on the experimental pulse and reshaping the edge between electro, breaks and techno, Romphea continues that trajectory, weaving together tense polyrhythms, warped melodic fragments, and cavernous spaces.

This release features four, plus three digital bonus original tracks, aiming to provide a clear sound identity for the artist. "The 286 Theory" is a fierce statement: a four-to-the-floor cut, with layers of percussion that drive the groove forward, bringing the record full circle.

PREMIERE : Romphea - The 286 Theory [FERMAV005]

https://soundcloud.com/rompheamusic https://soundcloud.com/ferma_athens
🛒 https://ferma.bandcamp.com/album/clash-driven-policies-ep

For our next physical release, FERMA welcomes back home one of the individuals running the project, Romphea.

As a co-founder, he has long shaped the label’s uncompromising DIY ethos—placing experimentation, raw energy, and community at the heart of its vision. After releasing in a series of acclaimed platforms, the forward-thinking DJ and producer from Vyronas, Athens returns to vinyl with a genre-defying release. Building on the experimental pulse and reshaping the edge between electro, breaks and techno, Romphea continues that trajectory, weaving together tense polyrhythms, warped melodic fragments, and cavernous spaces.

This release features four, plus three digital bonus original tracks, aiming to provide a clear sound identity for the artist. The A-side opens with “Calls from Salem”, a dystopian slow burner that sets the tone with broken-beat percussion and dissonant synth stabs. “Steel Chair” surges forward with unrelenting force, propelled by serrated arpeggios and a barrage of fragmented vocals that rise and fall within the space, crafted for peak-time eruption.

Flipping to the B-side, “Paid Dividends” reaches full intensity, layering hammering kicks and percussion, while the low end rumbles with tectonic weight, amplifying the energy to fever pitch. Closing the record on a more contemplative note, “We Are The Universe” slows the pace, easing the tension and drifting into deeper territory. Echoing chords drift into space, layered with fragile percussive details and low, throbbing pulses. It’s a meditation on collapse and renewal, offering a moment of breath after the storm.

Extending beyond the physical record, this release comes with three extra digital exclusives. "Moonlighting" is another dancefloor stomper, capturing the tension and guiding dancers into a space where time dissolves, while in "Keygen Music", the rhythm remains grounded, but it is softened by melodic fragments that swirl in and out like fleeting memories. The release closes with "The 286 Theory" as a fierce statement: a four-to-the-floor cut, with layers of percussion that drive the groove forward, bringing the record full circle.

Straight from the source, defying the norms, devoted to the art. Do not sleep.
