Gost Zvuk prepare for a busy 2023 with an enthralling double LP's worth of futurist sound design from Flaty. In the game for more than a decade now, the producer, mastering engineer and all-round visionary artist has delivered an impressive range of music across both his own ANWO imprint as well as for West Mineral ltd., 12th Isle, Firecracker and more.

Always content to subvert expectations and blur stylistic lines, on Intuitive Word there is a clear fascination with a spectral, whittled-down-to-its-core type of avant-pop/RNB hybrid. Digital strings, dubbed beyond recognition semantic snatches, re-imagined new age style synthesis and even flourishes of MMORPG computer game soundtracks all combine into something that feels uniquely Flaty. In a sense, Intuitive Word marries ambient sound collage and hyperreal, narrative-style vocal processing. However, glimmers of shoegaze and old 'ethereal' bands (think Harold Budd & Cocteau Twins) crop up on tracks like 'Tree' and 'Nepal Lit', a testament to Flaty's skill for world-building and atmospherics.

Across the 19 cuts there is a recurring theme of choral style, computer generated elegies. A kind of 'cristal trance', in their words. 'Mint' combines these with overtly RNB style vocal samples, whereas darker, more broken beat soundscapes can be heard on the Madteo collab 'Observer'. With plenty of sombre and cinematic style ventures such as 'NEWS' breaking up the album and eschewing this focus on vocals, we find one of the most consistent producers in the current Russian scene delivering what may well be his most accomplished collection yet.

The mixtape here is from Rivne-raised/based producer @dij-iniesta who debuted on Pep Gaffe's live program in 2021. 

A combination of recent works glued together in a beautiful minimalist ambient soundscape. A big recommendation if yr into resting a bit for 20 minutes.

For the seventieth episode of our “ethereal mixes” series we invited performer and producer from St. Petersburg Diana Kovaleva a.k.a xvostik.

At the beginning of September the label /rakurs/ released Diana’s second album “Forest Eyes”. Her song “Sleep Demon” was supplemented with a video clip from Polina Yarosh and Artem Agafonov.

Last year she shared her debut full-length “Koshki” on the platform. We also recommend listening to artist’s another work - the mini-album “Neserieznost” (2021) from the Welofi catalog.

Earlier this fall, she recorded a joint composition “Pomogi mne vyshit” with Pochtischastie from the new long-play and prepared the track “Tak bolshe nelzia” for the compilation “Garden of Beatriz: Enchanted” by the Beatriz community.
