‘Rejecting Fragility’ - is a recorder of emotions and experiences collected during a year of immigration to Tbilisi, a move that was initiated as a reactive decision to the unconformity towards the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine. It is about the loss of ambition and acceptance of responsibility, as well as the rejection of habitual beliefs and acceptance of fragility.

Delving into new surroundings, the mixtape acts as a postcard that envisions the technogenic bustle of Tbilisi. Similar to ‘Fashion Music for Scammers’, the release takes shape of a diary entry and attempts to record the constantly fluctuating moment of emotional fragility, where the atmosphere within the magical and serene corners of the city’s surroundings switches up rapidly with its concrete coldness, and the deep wormhole that is its nightlife. Hence the DIY, almost field-like approach to the recording of the material featured on the album. Most of the track were produced on an iPad, in which qwa created unique, autonomous ecosystems.

All proceeds from the digital release will be forwarded to hospitallers.ukraine_paramedic & lifeline.ge

On November 2, as El Día de Muertos comes to a close, the altars of the Temple of Joy will glow with intricate patterns of festive lights. This night, we celebrate JOY’s ninth birthday—an innocent euphoria of dysfunction bathed in a blaze of hazy light.

A shabby ice cream truck, serving up the flavor of crunchy dog hair, delivers our main guest: Ren Schofield, aka Container, the elegant master of rhythmic bombardment and nauseating noise. Whether he’s the perfect raver for punks or the ideal punk for ravers, fueled by guerrilla crackling and soaked in primitive analog techno, Container returns to Sameheads after 10 years to present his new album, Yacker.

In a halo of dissonant rhythms and disembodied sighs, Ugetsu Monogatari and Costa will lead low-frequency ceremonies of deprivation, while the herald of the black rainbow, Səriim, will solemnly conduct a burial ritual in psychoactive quicksand.

Mystictrax w/ Rostyslax - 17/03/2025

Hey, I'm Niko. I love my life for versatility, and I'm glad that I can experience different feelings. I love dancing in beautiful outfits with disco, I love techno in concrete buildings, noise, birds singing and various dark sounds, because all sounds affect my perception of the outside world or reflect me. 
SIDE A / ABISS - a fall into the depths of the soul, where there is almost no light, where only echoes are heard in the emptiness, where I am ready to part with everything, but the heart continues to beat.
