"I'm curious about everything—this is my power." The Ukrainian DJ and label boss sits down to discuss her approach to curating, self-development, parenthood and more.

Nastia calls herself a "true DJ." The Ukrainian artist first laid hands on a pair of decks in 2005 after moving from her small hometown and attending the University of Donetsk. Beginning as a radio host at Kiss FM, where she curated a show called Nechto—now the name of her label—she started actively touring, pursuing a career dedicated to DJing and nothing else.

Nastia is proud of having reached great heights as a DJ with no productions under her belt. In this conversation recorded live at Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon, she tells moderator Christine Kakaire about her decision to turn her attention towards the studio at the apex of her career. She also discusses her idiosyncratic style of putting a set together, using each stage appearance as an opportunity to educate the audience about music and create a narrative expressive of her internal world. "I'll never be just a drum & bass DJ, or just a techno DJ," she says. "I'm curious about everything—this is my power."

Among Nastia's reflections on music are her considerations of the war in Ukraine, parenthood as a touring DJ, self-development and more. Listen to the episode in full.

Electronic Explorations - 359 - Pär Grindvik

Returning back to the club this coming weekend is one of Sweden's strongest talents, Pär Grindvik. A long standing fixture in his locale, Grindvik has worked his way up through any role he could fit himself into starting out in the city's record stores in the 90's up to founding Stockholm LTD in 2002; he's an artist that comes with bags of enthusiasm that comes through in earnest in his many DJ sets. 

His latest long player Isle Of Real revisits the formative times in Grindvik's career, taking points from the 90's era techno that he was immersed in during that time. It's a sound that we can firmly get behind and that echoes within this exclusive mix he has shared with us to get us amped for his incoming set in Room Two this Saturday night.
