We are happy to share with you this beautiful, floating, sometimes blurred, sometimes pulsating mixtape, which was compiled and recorded specially for Pep Gaffe by Poltava-based producer @drifted_sounds and contains previously unreleased material only.

Drifted - Untitled Mix

Hi, friends!

After an almost annual break, Pep Gaffe came back with the new tape by our all-time associates - Tofudj and Acid Jordan who deserves no introduction for the majority of ours listeners. These beautiful amorphous tracks were recorded last summer in the house by the river somewhere near Poltava.

As usual, we printed a strictly limited edition of tapes, which you could pre-order right now through the Bandcamp page or by writing us directly to the Instagram page (link in bio).

Hurry up if you want to grab your copy first ;)

The times are grim in Ukraine now. The full-scale war got everyone in the early morning of the 24th of February, and ever since there are no other thoughts but to defend oneself, one's relatives, and the country. There is no sleep anymore, no time wasted, 24/7. In fact, the time has effectively just stopped. 

People are united as never before. Courage has no borders. The volunteering movement is insane. Any direction and all directions at the same time. The help from inside and outside is much appreciated. “Do everything you can!” is the only way out. 

We don’t want to address any of the enemy’s actions and rhetoric throughout the years (in fact, hundreds of years). Now, one can move in retrospect and see for oneself. It is straightforward and mad, infectious and deadly. 

Pep Gaffe peeps are in different parts of the country carrying out the weight as everyone right now. Among them is Rugo, Vyshhorod-native, who joined the forces of territorial defence and is all physical on the battleground. His music was scheduled to get released on the 25th of February and is out now. Give it a listen, support him, support us, support Ukraine! 

It is extremely serious. The worst of humankind is willing for a revanche, and it’s coming full-throttle. Don’t let it happen! We, together, won’t let it happen!

. . . . . . . . .

Pep Gaffe is a rhizomatic collective that features individuals from different cities of Ukraine who do label and label nights. Moving timely on its own pace, PG sails elsewhere and walk much. But the nights are good, and the musics are adventurous.

The long-awaited debut solo outing from the collective’s most beloved groover. Recorded during days and nights filled with terror caused by the russian invasion of Ukraine, the music here is meant to provide minuscule relief, if only for the time played.

all options - snight recap

At the beginning of 2022, we hosted our last pre-war party at the beloved by all Kyiv residents club Otel'.

That was a beautiful, careless episode right before a full-scale russian invasion (fuck you, russians, by the way). Many beautiful sets were played that night, but we were mainly waiting for permission from @ann-kim-9 to publish this bewitching selection.

Bleepy, broken beats and slow dubstep jams - everything you need to fall into a trance on the dancefloor (or in the bedroom, that's on you).

Here are a few lovely noisy recordings made by monodont over the past few years, all carefully mixed and arranged into this feature-length mixtape.

After a little copyright war with Soundcloud, we are finally reuploading this beautiful piece.

Pep Gaffe is glad to deliver an audio collage of smeared and punched moods & blessed loops recorded by @xtclvr during 2022 in Kyiv, UA.

'Blurred Days' molds the sense of hopefulness and love, something nostalgic, meaningful, and memorable, like trippin' with friends. Perhaps even some life-altering news, an inexplicable cloying feeling of dissociation of past and present.

blurred days

xtclvr - loushh [PG08]

Crisis, you are chained to the asphalt, your body shell has merged with the car hood - they co-exist. The road has given you the speed, it has peeled all your bones. You were constantly addicted to the feeling of adrenaline. This accident was decisive, but you did not understand anything. Aged primitive melodies play in your head. Whether you are already coming to the world at the end of the tunnel or having partial amnesia, anyway, you are having joy. The pain is absent for some reason, but there is an unpleasant feeling in the heart. It is either the catheter or your conscience.

You feel the cold still circulating in your body, you are being given an emergency blood transfusion. It reminds you of first love. The final stop will be warm. You feel a tingling sensation in your fingertips. You remember the morning with a clear sea and a deserted beach. Here we are. Closer to warm weather in your blood. Keep going - it is your agenda now.

The mixtape here is from Rivne-raised/based producer @dij-iniesta who debuted on Pep Gaffe's live program in 2021. 

A combination of recent works glued together in a beautiful minimalist ambient soundscape. A big recommendation if yr into resting a bit for 20 minutes.

So here is absolutely enchanting b2b-set between Polina Matskevich (@mlinpatz) and Ganna Brizhata (@gannabryzhata), both members of psychedelic/dub/surf-band Chillera from Odessa. 

Deliciously strung hypnotic dancefloor trip with a dash of the beautiful breezy vibes.

Recorded in Kyiv at PG Showcase this February.

Music for good & bad colliding made by sharp mind enamored with musical explorations. This mixtape will leave us well fed and holistic.

Going deeper into this sound-form of a "dualistic statement," one might notice the entangled interconnections and find different ways it executes and fulfils its body-awakening and soul-building purposes.
