Long ago, on a freezing December morning, we were taking a walk under the blazing Kyiv sun. We stopped to take a picture of an ugly but in a way curious building only to find that we were not alone in enjoying that bizarre beauty. 
- Stunner, isn’t it? 
- Yes, indeed.
Our partner’s in crime name was @dimasokolovskyi. Coupled with his profound gaze, Dima’s placid and unembarrassed silences were so magnetic that we couldn’t extinguish the fire of interest towards him. So we started talking, just like we know. Apparently, he had a lot to say, and we continued our walk together.
Behind his gentle and humble look was just as gentle and humble soul with a deep love for melancholic darkness, dense matters, unpolished forms, and warped voices of the past. Bizarre, indeed..

Ahead of his Dimensions debut, we’re happy to welcome Ukrainian supreme selector and Closer resident, Noizar to our mix series.

Here he delivers a stunning mix of breaks, electro and techno, immaculately programmed with records he has lovingly sought out. 

Nazar joins us (alongside his b2b partner Borys) this summer for the Closer x Trommel takeover on the Olive Grove.

Eleventh podcast on our series cooking by Tallinn-based DJ: Karel. Having elevated the Estonian underground to new heights by being one of the most inspiring figures in the community, Klmn has been cutting his teeth at the capital’s best clubs and events for over a decade now and it shows: he stands tall as one of the most celebrated selectors in the country. Possessing a refined understanding of the dance floor, that is complemented by meticulous passion for digging and excellent technique, Karel is not bound by genre, time or place, but rather by a musical philosophy that is characterized by maturity and openness 🐆🌿🛡️

The Shadow Pressings imprint thrives on mystery, frequently delivering missives by uncredited artists informed by the analogue-rich rawness of early Chicago house and the intergalactic intent of classic Detroit Techno. The label is in that mode again here on release number seven, with another nameless producer slamming down four more well-crafted workouts. Our shadowy hero (or heroes) first offer up 'Trentestter', where echoing synth motifs and sustained chords rise above a slipped synth bassline and crunchy machine percussion, before reaching for short, delay-laden vocal snippets, acid bass and warehouse-ready stabs on 'Unreleased Slices'. 'Dreamed Up To Ecstasy' is deep, melodious and tactile, sitting somewhere between early Larry Heard and colourful Italian dream house, while 'Am I' takes us even deeper and dreamier via drifting pads, liquid bass, heady organ keys and eyes-closed spoken word snippets.
