====================

BIO
The Bleak Engineers coldwave duo consists of Moralez and Zombierella (half of horror punk band Messer Chups). Both artists have been working on the music scene for more than twenty years. They debuted on Six Tonnes De Chair Records 5 years ago with a «New Frontiers» LP that mixed electronic sounds with live bass and guitar. An album followed on Mosaique Records in 2019, but one of their earliest tracks “Unconscious”, which was released along with a video, has remained unreleased. It’s the title of their second 12’’ LP that came out on Rotation Mécanique in 2021. 

Both albums have high ratings on discogs and are hard to get today on vinyl. They are in no hurry and have chosen the path of an independent vision of New Wave, DIY, Flexipop and 80’s minimal synths. Although synthesisers grew into great knob-covered beasts there are still plenty of bands like The Bleak Engineers that are thankfully in thrall to the early synth sounds. They have a new album «The Mystical Dream» coming out this autumn in November 2024.

About Mix: 
This mix is like a point of attraction for their musical desires and dreams brings together the unconscious, but very beautiful and expressive. Here music from different years and languages acquires an attractive meaning in an unobtrusive audio form. Enjoy!

International Deejay Gigolo Mix Vol.2   (9.3.2025)

March Specials wrap up with a set from Alinka (she/her)—a Kyiv-born dj shaped by Chicago house. She co-founded with Shaun J. Wright the independent label Twirl, where they channel their vision of the electronic scene, infused with the spirit of the old school.

Despite her busy schedule, Alinka stays deeply connected to Kyiv and its music community. She returns regularly to support the scene, catch up with friends, and spend time in the city that will always feel like home.

Listen to Alinka’s latest set, played on 14.09.24, at Backyard. 
________________________

March Specials завершуються із сетом від Alinka (вона/її) — диджейки, яка народилася в Києві та виросла на чикагському гаусі. Разом із Shaun J. вона заснувала незалежний лейбл «Twirl», через який вони транслюють своє бачення електронної сцени, пронизане духом старої школи.

Попри насичений графік, Alinka зберігає глибокий зв’язок із Києвом і локальною сценою. Вона регулярно повертається, щоб підтримати спільноту, провідати друзів та місто, яке завжди залишається її домом.

Слухайте новий сет Alinka, зіграний 14.09.24 на Backyard.

As i-D delves deeper into the city’s burgeoning scene, get to know the sounds of Cxema in this exclsuicve mix from Slava himself.
