Living Room n°58 ~ @optovolokonniy

q. pls introduce yourself

a. as Vlady, I work in cybersecurity. In my non-working hours, I perform under aliases ϙue, dj chlorophyll, am co-curating @biorhythmradio, @ickpakyiv, creating bio installations, and recently formed a project «OO0oϙ0O0O00O» with oa. 

As ϙue, I apply multiple psycho-acoustic techniques to embark a listener on an introspective trip, where two of us seek to explore the concept of ego death and delve into the depths of consciousness through deep listening and self-reflection.


q. is there a story behind the mix?

a. For the last 1.5 years, my main pursuit has been presenting contemporary Ukrainian cultural and musical heritage in Europe. This mixtape is a logical continuation of Sasha Very’s https://soundcloud.com/cminuss/sasha-very-present-ukraine. The main motif is Ukrainian artists, who witnessed firsthand the preciousness of life and the woe of death. The major part of sound material gathered here is songs, tracks, and compositions created during the 2022-2023 full-scale invasion.


q. what's the best way to enjoy your mix?

a. Thinking, appreciating, and developing a sense of care about the joy of “simple” things in your life. 

You may not realise how much your like, comment, Bandcamp purchase, an invitation to make an interview, an invitation to your podcast series, or to record a mix can make an immense difference to someone whose survival and “tomorrow” does not come for granted. Here, I mean any Ukrainian who has not crossed the border since February 24, 2022. 

And if this one-hour overview of the musical landscape sparks within you an interest in Ukrainian underground scene, my goal is accomplished.


q. describe a favorite object in your living room...

a. For the last three months, I had to move places five times, so my living room was always shifting :] 

But I always have my 12-centimeter glass sphere with me. Being an optical filter, it serves as a reminder about the delusional nature of our perception and that experiences are limited — words, visions, smells, touch. Hence, I believe one can only trust their mental images (the language we think and dream in). Which I find funny how easily we, myself included, forget about this basic nature of things. So I carry this physical reminder with me.


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)? 

a. There are some. 

A few weeks ago, after a gentle push from our mutual dear friend Frog of Earth, oa and me formed a sound-art duo «ОО0оϙ0О0О00О». Olenka is a muse to me in mysterious ways which I am yet to understand. We are working on songs, remixes and a body-music performance where our brainwaves and body electricity are processed through synths.  

Earlier in June, there was a debut of the OFF-ICKPA stage in Arkaoda Berlin where I played with other Kiiberboreans (s/o to @ecology141): super inter, TIBSLC, and Andriy Kostyukov — coincidentally, the latter two also have released LR mixes (both are strongly recommended to listen next). I worked a lot on this one and planning the next year’s festival edition. 

And since mid-2022, Kharkiv’s @comechelet and I are working on a collab release by exchanging stems via the web. So far, our first finished work has traveled some internet sites — Noods, HÖR, and 3XL. These days, as I am writing answers to this mini-interview, Comechelet is shooting a music video in southern France for our second single. 

That’s it, love u LR peeps. Many hugs.

Polygonia has already visited numerous of international prestigious venues. She is now a regular at Tresor or Berghain in Berlin, Blitz or Rote Sonne in Munich to name a few. Together with the artists Dycide and MTRL, she established her collective and label IO in 2018.

Nina Label Mix 009: Theory Therapy

Living Room n°62 ~ @connaharaway ~ 'Wearing (oneself) To A Shadow'


q. pls introduce yourself
a. hei :)) I'm Conna – a DJ/producer currently based in Glasgow, UK. I am the co-founder of INDEX:Records and the creator of co:clear.


q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. This mix was recorded a couple of months ago – intended as an accompaniment to my debut album (“Lusidiq”), which was recently released on Theory Therapy.

I remember feeling rather uninspired to dig for new music at the time, so Gary (Theory Therapy label head) lent me his Bandcamp login; about half of the mix was curated via Gary’s Bandcamp collection. Most of the other stuff in here are songs that I’ve been rinsing throughout 2k23.


q. what’s the best way to enjoy your mix?
a. Listen to it if you ever need to find solace in rough times </3


q. describe a favorite object in your living room…
a. My living room is the best room in my apartment and there are too many of my favourite objects in here… it’s probably a toss up between a huge 3m wide print, designed by Sasha & Dre, or my PS5 (which is connected to a mini-soundsystem).


q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. I’m working on a kinda cray amount of projects currently: many exciting things with co:clear; a link up with 29 Speedway for an event in Berlin; and working on the finishing touches for some of my favourite records to ever come out on INDEX:

Thanks for having me <3

Enter the mythology of NYC artist James K - her sound, equally organic and electronic, is a combination of odd dreams, hybridizing enchanted samples, ripped, broken and morphed rhythms, and vocals, both incomprehensible and appealing.

Gamardah Fungus is the collaborative project between Ukrainian musicians Igor Yalivec and Sergio Berry, based in the city of Dnipro. Since forming in 2009, the duo has explored the intersections of Ambient, drone, and experimental music, releasing on many labels including Flaming Pines, Polar Seas Recordings, and Hidden Vibes. Their sound world is informed as much by cinema, folklore and mysticism as by music itself, drawing from classical, jazz, noise and minimalism, with influences that include Eric Satie, Krzysztof Penderecki, Fennesz, Stockhausen and Bohren & Der Club of Gore. Over the years, Gamardah Fungus have built a reputation for their atmospheric live performances and conceptual studio work, often inspired by the landscapes and cultural heritage of their homeland.

Trees and Roots marks a significant shift in the duo’s creative process. For the first time, they abandoned the guitar that had been central to their previous work and here they embraced a more tactile, exploratory approach. Sergio used a series of custom electroacoustic instruments using unconventional materials: wooden and plastic boxes, strings, stones and even paper envelopes fitted with piezoelectric sensors. These objects were manipulated, processed through pedals, and layered into intricate textures. Alongside these are Igor’s immersive Ambient drones created by using Eurorack modular synthesizers. Field recordings gathered across Ukraine from over the years add another dimension of intimacy, anchoring the album in the natural and cultural environments that inspired it. No virtual instruments were used; the entire project was captured, mixed and mastered in the analog domain.

Written during an ongoing time of conflict in Ukraine, this album carries with it a deep emotional and cultural resonance. Rather than respond to these challenges directly, Igor and Sergio chose to look inward toward the enduring symbols of their heritage. Trees and Roots is dedicated to the mythology, folklore and natural beliefs of their ancestors. Trees have long been sacred in Ukrainian culture, representing strength, wisdom and spiritual continuity. Each track bears the Latin name of a tree revered in these traditions, reflecting both its physical roots and the metaphorical roots of identity and belonging. In this sense, the album is both a personal and cultural statement: a meditation on resilience, memory and the quiet power of nature to heal and sustain.

The sound of Trees and Roots is meditative yet charged with a fragile tension, balancing organic resonance and abstract tones. Drones swell like distant winds through the forest while percussive textures suggest movement beneath the surface. It is an album of layers and spaces, inviting deep listening and reflection. At its heart lies a quiet determination: to preserve the stories and symbols that shape a people, even in times of uncertainty and upheaval.
