Tracks

Die Orakel reveals Lake Lemuria EP by @poly-chain, a full-on electro emission loaded with relics of British 90s IDM. The pun intending Max For Death commences the sonic diffusion with booming bass drums, reverberating acid line, plus an elevating meandering melody. Latter qualities extend and modulate subsequently, in variations joined by slowly shifting atmospheric pads and fast paced electroid geostructures, rendering a polychrome four-track braindance-scape.

B1 – Acid Regular
B2 – Visa Reprise

Synth enchantress Poly Chain returns to Dom Trojga for a smashing full EP release! Hailing from Kiev, 

she first made a name for herself during the years she spent in Warsaw, releasing her debut LP and becoming a fixture on Poland’s underground scene. After returning to Ukraine, she spread her wings further, with exciting releases and regular international appearances only briefly thwarted by the pandemic. Her long-anticipated EP for Dom Trojga is a treat in her signature style – filled to the brim with incessant, psychedelic arpeggios racing over raw and direct beats. The opener ”Kieł” is an unforgiving electro tune with a huge snare (we like) and tight, unsettling synthwork. ”Visa” offers some much-needed hypnotic comfort, and on the flipside, ”Acid Regular” hits the floor again with a serious groove, while ”Visa Reprise” closes off in a deep, echo-laden fashion.  The cover is a drawing by the inimitable Bartosz Zaskórski – an illustrator, sculptor and sound artist, whose uncanny, twisted bio-mechanical visions have been haunting us for years. Take a bite of Dom Trojga!

Premiere: Poly Chain - Kieł [DT008]

It’s been more than a week since Russia has invaded Ukraine, destroying Ukrainian cities and shattering the lives of millions of people, whose world will never be the same again. The Ukrainian music and culture community is devastated by the shocking crimes of the Russian government. We wish for peace in our country above all, and we are doing everything in our power to support the people of Ukraine. 

Right now It is most critical to raise funds for the Ukrainians bravely defending their country, and for those, who had to leave their homes behind. Therefore, Standard Deviation has joined forces with @Mystictrax — a Ukrainian label run by Lostlojic, for our most important release: РАЗОМ ЗА УКРАЇНУ / TOGETHER FOR UKRAINE — a compilation by 65 Ukrainian and International artists to be sold exclusively via Bandcamp. All profits from this release will be split between the following charity funds, supporting the people of Ukraine:

- The ‘Return Alive’ Fund, helping at the Ukrainian front  
- National Bank of Ukraine Fundraising Account for Humanitarian Assistance 
- ‘Ukraine Pride’ Fund for LGBTQIA+ soldiers and LGBTQIA+ people affected by the war
- ‘Голос Дітей’ Fund, helping children affected by the war

We would like to express special gratitude to all the artists who got involved, mastering engineers who helped supporting the project, Poly Chain and Omon Breaker, who co-curated the release while being in the midst of war, Wolfgang Tillmans for providing the artwork, Julia Crescitelli for her video art, Ivan Tsanko for providing the typography, Modern Matters for helping with the release.

We are sincerely grateful to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to every soldier, every volunteer, every activist, every person who brings us closer to victory and freedom.

Various Artists // Lobster PLUR Volume 5

Today the invisible grey cloud hung thick over her head, refusing to move no matter how hard she willed it. The thought of stepping into the outside world felt like an impossible task, she'd prefer to bury her head under the covers and sleep the day away until she woke up no longer feeling like this, but that had never worked for her before. Even so, though there were times it felt as if there were no escape, ultimately there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

Terra Magic are back with their third release, Axisdance, a various artists compilation that calls on their talented friends from around the world. Coming on a double 12", the release features music from the likes of Poly Chain, Mogwaa, Jacques Satre, Jai and Rambal Cochet, among others, and oscillates from driving trance-tinged rhythms and hypnotic, twinkling electro to sludgy, crawling acid and heavy break beat cuts. Every track has its own flavour but together they form a carefully-curated package that'll take you on a trip to the cosmos.

[PREMIERE] Temporary Protection - Poly Chain | Tombolo Records [2022]

Tomorrow, on what marks Kyiv producer Poly Chain's birthday, she's releasing her second charity project on fellow Ukrainian artist Lostlojic's Mystictrax imprint.

The pair have linked up again for Poly Chain's Fairy Disco mini album, a digital release and limited physical USB chain, which features six electro-inspired tracks composed over the last two years backed by two remixes from Kharkiv-based DJ Sacred and Frankfurt's finest Luz1e.

Speaking about the release, Poly Chain (real name Sasha Zakrevska) said: "the release date is my 29th bday and my wish is very simple yet quite complicated, as well as contained tunes themselves: keep supporting Ukraine, it's your every days shield."

All money raised from the album sales will be donated to 'Повернись Живим/Come Back Alive' foundation - the first charity organisation in the Ukraine who've received a license to purchase and import military and dual purpose goods.

PREMIERE: Poly Chain - Fairy Disco [Mystictrax]

Ukrainian Field Notes VA is a fundraising compilation with a difference, music with a backstory that gives a first-hand account of the unfolding events since the full-scale Russian invasion in real time, and presents an overview of the changing face of the Ukrainian music scene dictated by blackouts and curfew restrictions.

What started off as an ongoing series of interviews with Ukrainian artists for the experimental music website A Closer Listen has now become a book comprising all 170 interviews conducted over the course of a year mapping out the electronic and experimental scene in Ukraine.

All musicians involved were asked to submit a track composed after February 24, 2022 to mark its publication. The resulting material reflects the diaristic nature of the book and deals with PTSD, displacement, separation, and loss, and shows at the same time the strength and resilience of Ukrainian artists with a meditative and uplifting reach.

The track listing follows the chronological order of the interviews, switching from ambient and electronic to classical and experimental in a seemingly random fashion, but war is chaotic and shattering, or as Serhii Zhadan writes in Sky Above Kharkiv, “War sharply changes ways of seeing, changes feelings.” Ukrainian Field Notes is a testament to the shifting sonic and human landscape.
*
Ukrainian Field Notes VA - це благодійна фандрайзінгова компіляція, що відрізняється від інших, музика з передісторією, яка розповідає з перших вуст про події, що розгортаються з моменту повномасштабного російського вторгнення в режимі реального часу, і представляє огляд зміни обличчя української музичної сцени, продиктованої відключенням електроенергії та обмеженнями комендантської години.

Те, що починалося як серія інтерв'ю з українськими музикантами для сайту експериментальної музики A Closer Listen, тепер перетворилося на книгу, що містить усі 170 інтерв'ю, взятих протягом року, які окреслюють електронну та експериментальну сцену в Україні.

Щоб відзначити її публікацію, всім музикантам, які брали участь в інтерв'ю, було запропоновано надіслати трек, написаний після 24 лютого 2022 року. Отриманий матеріал відображає щоденниковий характер книги і стосується ПТСР, переміщення, розлуки та втрати, а також демонструє силу та стійкість українських митців з медитативним та піднесеним звучанням.

Трек-лист відповідає хронологічному порядку інтерв'ю, переходячи від ембієнту та електроніки до класики та експериментальної музики у, здавалося б, випадковий спосіб, але війна є хаотичною та руйнівною, або, як пише Сергій Жадан у "Небі над Харковом", "війна різко змінює способи бачення, змінює почуття". "Ukrainian Field Notes VA" - це свідчення мінливого звукового та людського ландшафту.

Turbulent

Premiere: Poly Chain – Turbulent

The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere a new track from Poly Chain. "Afterhouse In SchneidersLaden" comes off the new v/a from Berlin's TYME collective. TYME is a newly found label that provides a space for emerging artists from Ukraine and the world to release music that transcends boundaries. For its debut release 'On the Silver Shore' , TYME invited 28 artists from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. Their creations span across the wide spectrum of electronic music, ranging from experimental and ambient to hypnotic and groovy techno. Notable contributors include iconic artists such as Schacke, Shackleton, Cressida, Nastya Vogan, Pavel Milyakov and Yan Cook. 

Today we premiere this one from Poly Chain. The artist had this to say about the track: "During the last two years I started to produce slow and tender music again and I am happy it found its place and purpose with TYME and its fundraiser. Finally my experimental side and technical production one started to crystallize in the form I would love to build as an artist."

On The Silver Shore is out March 1st. Support the release at: https://tyme-berlin.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-silver-shore

14. Poly Chain - Zutaten

Within Kyiv's raging rave scene, club ∄ is an integral meeting point for non-binary and gender non-conforming folks with the club providing a much need safe space; it's name '∄' is a mathematics symbol meaning 'there does not exist'. The epicentre of intersectionality in Kyiv, ∄ recently announced the launch of a new multi-disciplinary platform and label, Standard Deviation, that brings together all of the wider sentiments surrounding the club and amplifying this via the publication of music and visual art.

The debut release features one of Kyiv's shining lights, Poly Chain alongside Copenhagen-via-Berlin breakout techno queen, Nene H. Poly Chain's 'Jerry' is markedly deep. Pairing lean kicks with licks of EBM, bubbling tear-jerking synths dance with gritty, unrelenting dissonance in the mid-range. Altogether, 'Jerry' transports us directly to the heartland of '∄', marrying a sense of unwinding chaos and boundless love.
