Mix: Ukraine

I've planned to record my podcast for the Night Flow series for over a year. Everything somehow failed, or I was not satisfied with the attempts. So it lasted until the moment I decided to close the current series and restart it in a completely new format.

And as a final issue, I've decided to present a fragment of my set at one of Lviv's after-parties this year. I don't remember what event preceded all this. But I know for sure that there were friends around. Winter Lviv was waking up outside the windows, and I just have been playing for hours.

This set is an attempt to capture those lovely memories. There is no preparation here - total improvisation and only those compositions that I wanted to put at that very moment. I hope you'll enjoy it.

And expect the first issue of the updated podcast in May. Stay tuned!

Today we have a great exclusive for you from our friend @kostiantyn-chekanov - a fresh vinyl-only set he recorded just the other day. And in order not to describe long and boringly what you can hear there, we will simply quote the author:  

“I always enjoyed deep sound that is often considered undanceable. I wanted to make a melancholic and melodic story that evolves into a brighter and more assertive ending.

Every vinyl set I create includes the development of my music taste that touches my exploration of dub techno, progressive house, trance, deep techno, and uncategorized melodic tunes.

Changing records on the go (after choosing the proper sequence) makes every set a blend of preparation and improvisation.”

@luschn1 and @horhe89 recorded this compilation before the 24th of February. At that time, the guys were preparing it as a promotional mix for one performance. But the war destroyed all plans in a moment and turned our familiar world upside down.

However, no matter what, it definitely cannot change and influence certain things. For example, our boundless love for music. Or the fact that in these few hours of the set, there is such a critical mass of super cool compositions that will make anyone's head spin. So listen, enjoy and let's believe in better times and our victory together!

@vitya-payalnik says this is all the music that he does not dare to play live yet. He has a separate playlist for it, and it feels like something purely for the night. Or when it starts to dawn a little bit. By the way, you won't find any track younger than 2009 in this compilation. But, undoubtedly, there are a lot of musical discoveries. Enjoy!

Abstract by Vitya

Usually, it's hard for me to get a grip and record previously planned mixes or podcasts. At some point, the problem is excessive perfectionism, impostor syndrome, or the desire to collect "some better material". So it turned out that everything I posted online was live set recordings. This fragment of the June 2022 performance at the "Ganok" club in Lviv is no exception.

You won't find some ultra-digger stuff here. More likely a bunch of well-known and not so much, often forgotten, but no less exciting compositions. Including several popular records that I wanted to play at that very moment. Again, all this was improvisation, when sudden and unconscious desires were embodied on the fly. For example, mixing a conditionally new release of some artist with his old track.

The most important thing is that people around were enjoying the music and the calm sky overhead. They smiled, dreamed and gained much-needed strength for the everyday life of the war and our future victory, which surely will come. There is no other way.

The soundtrack from the video set, which was filmed in April as part of the Trace Live project. It was a good time spent with friends, and a spontaneous compilation of old and new songs that is a kind of nostalgia for pre-war times and old good dance nights.

After the previous podcasts, we wanted something not only tougher but also more experimental. For all that, we're talking about the whole spectrum of electronic music. 

So now we have a set by young DJ and producer Aust Ix (@aust_ix) - Zhytomyr native who recently moved to the capital. There you'll hear a great variety of styles - from leftfield and experimental electro to some dub-techno and IDM. Honestly, it's really great when the young generation provides such good and well-adjusted selection.

Enjoy!

While the world is panicking, we are publishing a new issue of our podcast. Night Flow 008 was mixed by one of the veterans of the Ukrainian DJ scene - @vladfisun. And instead of a long story, we will just put his quote about this mix:

"Associatively, this podcast is an old book with frayed edges, blurred pages and bold illustrations. And the plot is a journey through space. The launchpad is somewhere in the psychedelic jungle, countdown by the dry language of computers, the initial longing for separation from the home planet, unprecedented pictures during meetings with stars, comets, other galaxies and worlds.

Even the names of the tracks were chosen as the chapters of a fantastic novel about the interstellar walk. Which one day you want to sit down and put in black and white on an old typewriter, wrapping yourself in a stretched jacket on a country cottage porch."

Enjoy!

Night Flow 008: Vlad Fisun

The author of the new Night Flow podcast issue is Dmitry Ignatyev - one of the creators of the Russian Mixmag and the "МиР" telegram-channel (https://bit.ly/2Jkn3CY). Real walking encyclopedia of electronic music, a great selector and just a cool DJ.

@ignatyev-d: "I recorded this mix some time ago as the beginning of one new project. But everything has changed, and the set turned out to be unclaimed. I'm delighted that I have finally found him a use.

As for the content, it consists merely of my favourite tracks at that moment, carefully selected to create some kind of holistic narrative."

Dance!

Night Flow 009: Dmitry Ignatyev

I've already mentioned that our podcast has no specific requirements or restrictions. And you can hear the mixes of not only well-known artists and DJs but also those who are just beginning this journey. Loving music and dance endlessly at the same parties as you.

Of course, everything is based on the quality of the material. But the example of our 10th issue author @kos-chekanov shows that still waters run deep.

@kos-chekanov tells: "A deep, rhythmic and self-contained set inspired by @timur-basha and @vovaklk favourite sets. And longing for parties that are only available at Zoom for the moment. See you soon at the Prichal!"

So let's listen to great music, dance and wait for the end of all this COVID-shit. Wonderful summer ahead!

Night Flow 010: Kos Chekanov

@romankhropko, member of @criminal_practice, was one of the first friends, whom I've offered to record a Night Flow podcast. And during the conversation with him, there appeared idea ​​not creating any restrictions in the series. Neither stylistic nor timing.

Then Roma told me that he would make an ambient-style mix. Not that music which Kyiv audience have expected from him. Further he decided that it should be not just the ambient, but his own tracks. However, this was not the final, because then his talented head generated the wish to create not a compilation, but a single hour-long track  - a real electronic instrumental symphony with a unique idea and narrative. Which sounds like the only stream, hence the name - The Flow. 

What was said - was done. In 24 hours @romankhropko from scratch wrote this exceptional music canvas for attentive home listening. Embracing the magic of travel, experimentation, genuine emotions and discovering new realities, planes and dimensions.

These are the main tasks of music. I'm sure.

Night Flow 011: Roma Khropko - The Flow

Here is our happy 13th podcast, mixed by my friend @serge-skt - co-founder of Portfavor and Vector Kyiv, resident of River PORT club, great music selector and Dynamo Kyiv loyal fan.

@serge-skt: "Mix was born from songs that I've played at Portfavor and Vector parties at our favourite River PORT. With a bitrate that emphasizes the desire to return to our weekend dances. Uniting us and making life brighter. This set was recorded in a friend's apartment and is full of cool memories and nostalgia for friends at the entrance to the club."

We will dance again soon!

Night Flow 013: Skt

And now we tell you the perfect recipe for Sunday. You get dressed, pick up your headphones, turn on our 14th podcast, and go for a walk around town. Dancing on the go and smiling all around. And it does not matter if it rains a little, because you will have a real summer in your soul.

This almost four-hour mix from Vitaly @escape-es_cape is a real musical trip through the expanses of hypnotic minimal, deep and microhouse. The music you want to analyze and break into fragments. And to dance, of course, regardless of the time of day. Especially somewhere in the centre of the rominimal-kingdom. For example, at the Sunwaves festival.

Unfortunately, festivals are not yet available to us, so let's dance at least at home, on the street, anywhere. The main thing is to dance and enjoy life!

Night Flow 014: Escape
