Communities possess undeniable power to foster a sense of camaraderie and mutual support, and furthermore, this power can be harnessed to affect change on a broader scale. In the realm of music, it would be a miss not to acknowledge the robust and innovative music scene in Kyiv. Ukrainian artist Vera Logdanidi is one of the driving forces behind the local community, as a member of the Rhythm Buro collective, which organizes an unconventional festival and warehouse parties with a devoted following. Additionally, Vera oversees Kashtan, a communal channel and label. As a DJ, Vera's distinctive style is rooted in a diverse range of influences, as you can listen in our podcast. We had the opportunity to speak with Vera about her latest track release on Onboard Records, the Ukrainian community, and the art of DJing.

Mirko Antico has truly carved a distinctive path in the world of techno. His story starts in the small town of Atessa in the Abruzzo region, a place not typically associated with the global techno scene, but one that clearly left its mark on his early years. His deep connection to the dark, minimalistic sounds is evident in the music he produces and plays as a DJ.

The pivotal moment in Mirko's career came when he attended Minus Contakt in Rome, an event organized by his idol Richie Hawtin. The experience sparked his journey into DJing and eventually into music production. This event became the catalyst for his creative growth, igniting a passion that would push him to constantly evolve his sound.

His productions, marked by a sharp, minimalistic edge, have been played by some of the biggest names in the industry. The list of DJs and producers who have supported his tracks is impressive, ranging from techno le to rising stars in the scene like Fabio Florido and Milos Vujovic. This widespread recognition is a testament to the quality and impact of his work.

What sets Mirko apart is his ongoing dedication to refining his sound. Whether he's in the studio or playing to a crowd, he’s constantly experimenting and evolving, ensuring that his music remains fresh and relevant in a scene that thrives on innovation. It’s this commitment to growth and his passion for the darker, more minimalistic elements of techno that continue to drive his success.
