TYSHA (Ukrainian for silence) is the second longplayer of Ukrainian-born, Poland-bread and Austria-based multi-instrumentalist and singer Katarina Gryvul. Following her enigmatic song ”In Coma”, which released in 2020 on Standard Deviation, Gryvul delivers an 8-track long album of blooming, emotional and tactile electronica pop ballads, resulting in an intensely personal journey into the artist's inner world at the most silent time of her life.

In an attempt to deal with her decaying perception of reality and the overwhelming sense of isolation caused by the experience of global pandemic, Gryvul finds refuge in silence. She is mesmerized by the all-consuming absence of sound, and the many ways in which silence can be perceived: silky, enveloping, calm, but also caustic, fractured and sharp. TYSHA was written entirely during the pandemic. Gryvul describes that being surrounded by people during that challenging period started feeling like ”a potential threat” and as something unnatural and artificial.” She says: “It made me feel like I was torn between two realities, virtual and real, and did not belong to any of them”.  

TYSHA sounds imminently disturbing, yet soft, with ghostly harmonics, tempis and a wide variety of   musical and lyrical influences. The album feeds from ”something that has already vanished” - a feeling of  longing in a moment of uncertainty, crystallized in balladic writing and subtle elven-like soundscapes. 

Gryvul, who usually works with classical instruments, now explores a more electronic sound with beats and apparent beatgrid structure, referencing the environment in which what once felt natural and  organic started feeling artificial and synthetic.  Varying in tempo, moods and instruments, TYSHAcreates an emotional journey, exploring different forms of silence, representing the tension between the virtual and the real world and reflecting Gryvul’s feelings of hostility and alienation in contrast with her longing for connection.

The album is supported with remixes by London-based artist Flora Yin-Wong, contributing on ”Bezodnya” with an ethereally soft and lyrically poetic rework and Belgian experimentalist  Maoupa Mazzocchetti reinterpreting ”Tysha” as a gloomy, ecstatic and roaring piece for the dance floor.

TYSHA releases on February 9th 2022.

More exclusive music

Premiere: Katarina Gryvul 'Tysha' (Maoupa Mazzocchetti Remix)

Pre-order: https://www.beatport.com/release/storm/3634512

@bartvanrijn’s STUG has long been a source of great inspiration for in-the-know heads. His latest reminds us of the fact, as the label head snaps up one of contemporary electronic music’s most alluring characters for the label’s ninth such outing — a five-track EP backed with remixes from @worksofintent (fka R.O.S.H.) and @skudge-1.

Kicking off proceedings is 'Storm', a peak-time cut that’s layered with killer synths and a meandering baseline that’s both deep and driving. Hypnotic but also endlessly groovy, it gets us underway in seriously assured fashion. 

Works Of Intent then transforms 'Storm' via his 'Lorenz System' remix. A far cry from the original, it plays out in intriguing fashion, with its heavenly, almost trance-leaning backbone an interesting foil for its twinkling melodies and larger-than-life baseline.

Premiere: Bart van Rijn 'Storm '(Works Of Intent's Lorenz System Remix)

Pre-order: https://material.lnk.to/Blow

'Blow' is the latest single from @lau_ra_lau_ra ahead of her much anticipated new mixtape this spring. The single on @seanneedwant sees lau.ra once again team up with @eliza-legzdina, with whom she recorded the critically acclaimed ‘Wicked’. Legzdina is a queer, sex-positive, Eastern European femme and classically trained opera singer who serves up high energy performances with fierce lyrics. She lights up 'Blow' with some serious attitude as she sings about independence and success. The elastic drums and intense bassline are in your face and infectious, bubbling away next to a plunging lead pad that cannot fail to erupt the floor.

Premiere: lau.ra 'Blow' (feat. Eliza Legzdina)

Planetary Assault Systems remix Chris Liebing on CLR.

Originally released as a Bandcamp exclusive to restart the enormously influential CLR imprint after a five-year hiatus, the expanded version of Chris Liebing’s gritty and dancefloor focussed ‘Bruson EP’ drops in full as ‘Bruson EP Redux’, featuring a hair-raising remix from Luke Slater’s Planetary Assault Systems alias.

“Luke Slater has always been one of my favourites. From his early work in the ’90s through to his incredible Mote-Evolver label, it’s always great to hear what Luke’s working on and it’s a pleasure to have him remix the release that relaunched my CLR label. I hope you all like it!” - Chris Liebing

Carl Cox & Commix remix Radio Slave’s ‘Stay Out All Night’

Initially released in 2020 via his own Rekids, ‘Stay Out All Night’ is one of Radio Slave’s biggest tracks todate, alongside timeless cuts such as ‘Grindhouse’, ‘Don’t Stop No Sleep’, and ‘Another Club’. Recruiting Carl Cox & Commix for remix duties, ‘Stay Out All Night (Remixes)’ sees two varied dancefloor-focused revisions drop this February on 12”.

Leading the pack, Carl Cox steps up to the plate fresh from the release of his ‘Oh yes, oh yes!’ book. The People’s Choice delivers a lively 4/4 interpretation, flipping the syncopated breaks of the original into astomping blend of house and techno destined for dancefloor decimation.
