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!

Shoal – Ular EP [space•lab]

Shoal makes his debut on space•lab with the Ular EP, a four-track expedition that deepens his fluid, percussive and richly textured signature sound. Known for crafting immersive sonic environments, Shoal blends intricate rhythms with deep organic pulses, creating dynamic structures that evolve with subtle precision.

The tracks move with a focused energy, driven by detailed percussion and layered sound design, offering moments of intensity and spaciousness that strike a natural balance. Shoal’s instinctive command of rhythm and tension is on full display, delivering club-ready material, some of which has been road-tested in live performances. 

The Ular EP is a powerful addition to Shoal’s growing body of work, further solidifying his place as one of the most standout producers in contemporary techno.
