Arthur Kriulyn — Effect (From Manevr Album)
https://mystictrax.bandcamp.com/album/manevr

Southern waves whispered to @arthurkriulyn tales about unity with nature, balance of emotions, lighthouse of hope. MANEVR is a journey of a romantic character along the paths of childhood, adolescence and moments of love, where he is led by the portals of destiny. The cassette also preserves a futuristic parable that was used in the exhibition of existential street artists nameless_xxii in LAVRA art gallery. They also decorated the album cover with unique calligraphy.

Incorrect Waves — Bodies that have not found their place
https://mystictrax.bandcamp.com/album/bodies-that-have-not-found-their-place

Our bodies are like space, in which there are also millions of particles, blood bodies, chemicals and so on, just like various meteorites and asteroids fly in space. If our bodies consists of 80% water, then, in principle, erythrocytes there move in about the same way as in a vacuum, in approximately the same environment and along such chaotic trajectories, bodies move in space. Astronauts train in the water, like in that movie, to create an approximate environment in space, just as we can immerse ourselves in our own microcosm with the help of music.

It’s been more than a week since Russia has invaded Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian cities and shattering the lives of millions of people, whose world will never be the same again. The Ukrainian music and culture community is devastated by the shocking crimes of the Russian government. We wish for peace in our country above all, and we are doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine. 

Right now It is most critical to raise funds for the Ukrainians bravely defending their country, and for those, who had to leave their homes behind. Therefore, Standard Deviation has joined forces with @Mystictrax — a Ukrainian label run by Lostlojic, for our most important release: РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE — a compilation by 65 Ukrainian and International artists to be sold exclusively via Bandcamp. All profits from this release will be split between the following charity funds, supporting the people of Ukraine:

- The ‘Return Alive’ Fund, helping at the Ukrainian front  
- National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance 
- ‘Ukraine Pride’ Fund for LGBTQIA+ soldiers and LGBTQIA+ people affected by the war
- ‘Голос Дітей’ Fund, helping children affected by the war

We would like to express special gratitude to all the artists who got involved, mastering engineers who helped supporting the project, Poly Chain and Omon Breaker, who co-curated the release while being in the midst of war, Wolfgang Tillmans for providing the artwork, Julia Crescitelli for her video art, Ivan Tsanko for providing the typography, Modern Matters for helping with the release.

We are sincerely grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to every soldier, every volunteer, every activist, every person who brings us closer to victory and freedom.

Voided Sky (РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE | Standard Deviation x Mystictrax)

система | system is proud to present a compilation of various Ukrainian artists and performers "SESTRO".
"SESTRO" is a compilation of electronic music from the Odesa-based label система | system, designed to bring together musicians from Ukraine who have been released on our label and performed at events we have organized. For many years we strive to cover a wide, diverse, and adventurous spectrum of Ukrainian music. The goal of the compilation is to directly financially support (ГО Сфера) Sphere (@womenspheresolidarity) which is a Kharkiv-based organization that actively helps women and LGBT+ people from eastern Ukraine in territories that are heavily affected by war. CS Sphere (ГО Сфера) supplies crisis kits for women in frontline areas and also provides financial assistance to vulnerable groups of women, organizes legal and medical consultations, provides psychological assistance, informational campaigns, and activist events.

"We have never had an experience of working with women in conditions of stress, shock, and grief like today. Now we are trying to gather our experience and the experience of our colleagues from other countries to help deal with the terrible consequences of the survivors" - Anna Sharygina, a representative of CS Sphere (ГО Сфера).

We believe that giving visibility to Ukrainian culture is an important part of our struggle, because Russia's war against Ukraine is imperialistic in nature, and for three centuries the works of Ukrainian authors have been denied and destroyed.
We will never agree to be dominated. We want, as artists, to give all possible support through our work to the brave volunteers now active in Ukraine, who are bravely fighting to save the most vulnerable.

система | system з гордістю презентує компіляцію різних українських артисток та артистів "SESTRO"
"SESTRO" - це компіляція електронної музики від одеського лейбла system | system, яка покликана об'єднати музикантів_ок з України, що випускалися на нашому лейблі та виступали на організованих нами заходах. Протягом багатьох років ми прагнемо висвітлювати широкий, різноманітний та авантюрний спектр української музики. Мета компіляції — надати пряму матеріальну підтримку організації Сфера (@womenspheresolidarity) з Харкова, що наразі активно допомагає жінкам та ЛГБТ+ людям зі Сходу України на територіях, які сильно страждають від війни. ГО Сфера постачає кризові комплекти для жінок у прифронтових районах, а також надає фінансову допомогу вразливим групам жінок, організовує юридичні та медичні консультацій, надає психологічну допомогу, проводить інформаційні кампанії, активістські заходи.

“В нас ніколи не було досвіду роботи із жінками в умовах такого стресу, шоку і горя. Наразі ми намагаємося зібрати свій досвід і досвід наших колежанок з інших країн, щоб допомогти впоратися з жахливими наслідками пережитих подій тим, хто вижили” - Анна Шаригіна, представниця ГО Сфера.

Ми вважаємо, що надання видимості українській культури є важливою частиною нашої боротьби, адже війна Росії проти України, має імперіалістичний характер і протягом трьох століть твори українських авторів_ок заперечували і знищували. Ми боремося проти Росії, що прагне нас колонізувати, ми боремося за нашу свободу, ми ніколи не погодимося, щоб над нами панували.Ми хочемо, як художниці_ки, своєю роботою надати всю можливу підтримку хоробрим волонтеркам, які діють зараз в Україні, які відважно борються за порятунок найуразливіших груп населення.

“Perception of space and time, emotions and feelings.
Back in the days, two lovers who were living apart had found a way to cope with the distance in their relationship.
Every day at the same moment, they would climb to the nearer highest point in their area, and look towards the horizon, as if so, they could see each other. 
This episode is about the feeling of waiting for someone loved, as well as about the distance that separates us from that person, either in wide-open or in still architectural spaces.
In such spaces, we may experience the distressing feeling that time has stopped."

The album by Mikhail Ilyushenko (@Luschn1) marked the start of the new series The Mystictrax Chronicles, within which the Kyiv imprint will publish archival recordings of Kyiv electronic musicians.

“Zhitniy Dub” is a collection of mastered tracks from 2016-2017, inspired by nights in Podil district, parties in the old Keller Bar and Regenschirm.

“This is music that will never be written, because the world has changed irreversibly. At that time the Mystictrax label was invented, small cozy parties were noisy - absolutely carefree time! ”, - Misha Luschn

“We recovered the tracks from a forgotten hard disk, which Misha considered broken long ago and did not hope that his recordings could be returned. Igor Kirilenko (Hidden Element) helped us with mastering, so it turned out to make a full-fledged album, in which dub techno, house and vibe nights in the vicinity of Zhitny market were mixed ”, - album producer and label curator, Vova Baranovsky (Lostlojic).

“Zhitniy Dub” is the fifth Mystictrax release this year, following releases from zυв, ϙυє, Substak and the quarantine compilation "𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄".

The album “Zhitniy Dub” is available as a cassette or digitally on Bandcamp.
