Premieres

— Watch out, don’t trip over the gnome!
— Why’s he getting in the way?
— Haha, follow me!
— Oh, you’re in trouble now — I’m coming after you!

Playing a set in the techno capital is prestigious, but it can be demanding. Even a roaring crowd may not fully recharge you. But not for Needle and Plate. Spontaneity has always been the hallmark of this unstoppable duo. A few inspiring photos were all it took to book a flight to a neighbouring country. Now they were playing tag hopping from a cobblestone to a cobblestone like those were some tiny islands. Narrow streets guided them through vibrant facades, terraces, bridges, and graffiti walls. A bottle of Soplica in hand meant that this evening was bound to be something special.

Their urban quest eventually came to an end, giving way to the magic of a neon-lit courtyard, and then to a serene riverside view. Warm air, the quacking of ducks, and the laughter of passersby slowed down the time itself. Needle and Plate sat silently watching the city lights ripple across the water. “Sometimes spontaneous decisions bring the best stories,” Needle said softly. Like a rare track played only once, Wrocław would forever remain not just a place, but a feeling.

Intergalactic Noize Commander - Matter Of Time [Mystictrax] @user-19658778 @mystictrax
https://album.link/bwnjwfdsvsmk5

A split release of two incredible electro musicians at the crossroads of worlds: classic live electro from the German Intergalactic Noize Commander and new-school from Ukrainian Grid User on a fresh release of Mystictrax Label.

"Transcosmic" is also about the relationship between humans and cyborgs, and the transition of people to more robotic states in the future. "Schatten der Macht" is a struggle of a lyrical hero against a totalitarian automated system for the right to create freely, which is a joint work of both musicians. "State Transition" is about transformation and cloning, digitalization and smoothly flowing bass, a solo track by Grid User, as well as the title track on the release - "Transcosmic". The tracks alternate with brutal and slower, classic machine play in trax from Intergalactic Noize Commander: "Matter Of Time" and "Stranger 2.0" reveal to us the details of the continuation of Rick Deckart's life from Philip K. Dick's ominous science fiction with a life-affirming ending!

Noneside Premiere: Pymin - Kinetic Tension [Hybrid Moment]

https://yourhybridmoment.bandcamp.com/album/axiomatic

Axiomatic album by Pymin - is a reflection of improvised evenings with the Moog DFAM and Korg ARP Odyssey, where every sound is born in the moment, like a wave that will never repeat. It’s that moment when music becomes a living, dynamic substance that the artist seeks to tame, feeling its rhythms and moods. Sometimes control is lost, and the artist becomes an observer, letting the sounds lead the way. It’s an experience where chaos and order alternate, creating a new reality. Released on Hybrid Moment.

Максим Садовий aka Sad Fetish: Від металкору до модулярного хаосу
https://fanlink.tv/sad_fetish_cradle_of_carnage_disk_d

З маленького містечка Ладижин походить творець нещадних ритмів та індустріальних пейзажів — Максим Садовий, відомий у техно-спільноті як Sad Fetish. Його музичний шлях розпочався нестандартно: від кліпу Bring Me The Horizon ""Pray For Plagues"", чиї дисонуючі гітарні рифи запали глибоко в серце, через іспанські етюди в музичній школі до захоплення deathcore та екстремальними звуковими експериментами Infant Annihilator.

До світу техно Максим приєднався відносно недавно, на хвилі розквіту української рейв-сцени. Проте саме модулярні синтезатори з їхнім хаотичним переплетінням проводів і необмеженими можливостями звукового дизайну стали для нього справжнім одкровенням. Як зізнається сам Sad Fetish: ""Коли я починав, я в принципі не уявляв, що збираю — мною керувала жага до люті, нойзу і експериментального звучання"".

Дебютний реліз Максима ""Digital Garbage"" побачив світ на лейблі Insane Industry, а його творчий шлях продовжив останній реліз ""Cradle of Carnage"" (Колиска різанини). За словами автора, цей альбом виріс з універсального для українців відчуття тривоги: ""Це та колиска, яку ви кожен раз прокручуєте собі перед сном, коли ви стривожені лягаєте спати, ви не знаєте, що буде далі і вам моторошно від того всього. Базовий стан, всі це розуміють."" Реліз майстерно передає ці відчуття через звукові полотна, що балансують між агресією та вразливістю.

Творчість Sad Fetish — це справжня звукова есенція підпільних рейвів, фанкового бунту і модулярної деструкції, що втілює найтемніші настрої сучасної української техно-сцени та відображає колективні почуття цілого покоління в часи історичних потрясінь.

PREMIERE: Haido - My Generator
Ukrainian electronic musician @haidotunes is releasing his new single “My Generator”, part of the upcoming album Tales Beyond. “My Generator” is layered with thick, flowing yet rhythmic synths and stitched together with breakbeats that verge on IDM glitch. At its core is a melancholic robotic entity, revealing its fragile soul and telling a story of love as a force that sustains it and connects it to the world. 

“The vocal part is actually just a synth whose sound struck me and painted in my mind the image of a sad robot full of emotion and love. These are the elements that power its generator.” — says Haido. The single is the first step toward the release of Tales Beyond, an album in which Haido depicts individual stories united by a shared universe and a melancholic character, all wrapped in a dense post-apocalyptic atmosphere.
