AZ shadow is the first album in the catalog of our label "Der Schein". Its author is the resident of our project — Ilya Gurin-Babayeu (@thegurinbabayeu).

The album is the result of ghostly nostalgia and an attempt to comprehend the nature of chaos.

The initial inspiration was found in the childhood computer game «Zanzarah. The Hidden Portal». The most important context for understanding is an excerpt from the description of the game:

“One of the druids, the White Druid, created the Guardian, a semi-magical, semi-mechanical creature that began to guard the border between the worlds.

Time passed and the Guardian's magical powers dried up and he broke down - instead of protecting, he became aggressive towards those he was supposed to protect. Chaos began to spread in Zanzarah. "

Allusions at locations and events taking place in the mystical world of Zanzarah resonate with the sensations experienced from all aspects real life.

There is a parallel between childhood memories of the magical world and a completely unfamiliar feeling of homeland, which has changed beyond recognition in one year.

The album is imbued with fabulousness, asymmetry, sometimes with a literal feeling of the composition structure crumbling before the listener's eyes.

As it disintegrates, it then returns back to strike with even greater force.

My first official release as Destino – Oblivion.
A mix of acid & trance influences that I’ve been experimenting with lately.
Raw, hypnotic, and a bit chaotic — just how I like it.
Feedback’s welcome 💫

Dunkel Vor Den Augen Uns

Schwef. - In Gelbtönen

"All Night" IS OUT NOW!

“The road to the rave party begins with wildly colorful flyers like these, one of the lasting biggest rave parties ever in St. Louis was called - “Rejuvenation”. The location was kept secret until just a few hours before the party. Ravers were instructed to call a phone number on the back of the flyer to find out exactly where the party would be. It would usually happen at an empty warehouse.
Up go the lights, on goes the music, and by 1 AM, as many as a thousand kids are raving!”
