Inner Ubiquity is a new project and collaboration of two well-known electronic artists from St. Petersburg @nocow and @hoavi. Each of them with an impressive geography of releases released on respected international and local labels. 

The single 170 is the first track from the musicians' upcoming album of the same name, which presents their own, signature vision of drum'n'bass music. It combines the multi-layered lyrics of Nocow and the precise production approach of Hoavi to form their own, original sound.

170 - an ode to the north of St. Petersburg, the street culture of its neighborhoods and the music closely related to it.  

The album opens a new chapter of the label Roots United - a musical community from the northern capital with a 15-year history and hundreds of organized festivals and big parties behind it, including such well-known projects as Present Perfect Festival and K-30.

Written & Produced by Aleksei Nikitin, Hoavi
Mastered by Joshua Eustis

Tribute to the past (live mix)

Наш 74-й подкаст записал @raciyabagdad — электронный музыкант из Москвы и участник объединения «ТАСК», создающий треки на стыке жанров в диапазоне от транса и техно до эмбиента и хип-хопа.

На счету артиста релизы на европейских лейблах low income $quad и UNDERGROUND V.I.P TRAXX, участие в дубайском Sikka Art & Design Festival 2025 и выступления на электронных событиях по всей России.

Подкаст для нашего сообщества — это лайв, который Raciya Bağdad записал в преддверии петербургского фестиваля Gamma 2024. Он наполнен нигде не звучавшими треками на стыке транса, брейкбита и энергичной электроники: часть из них войдет в новый EP, который артист выпустит на лейбле Roots United уже в этом году.

For RA.1000, DJ Sprinkles' first mix in over a decade is a powerful meditation on the genocide in Gaza.

Dance music often relies on simple narratives: release, escape, unity. But those narratives can often feel inadequate, and even at times, hollow. Or, as Terre Thaemlitz might bluntly put it, just "shitty."

For her first mix in around 15 years, Terre Thaemlitz AKA DJ Sprinkles, challenges us to think differently. "I felt this 1000th podcast should reflect the moment in which it was made," she told us in her Q&A.

And what is this moment? Every day since Israel's 2023 assault on Gaza began, an average of 28 children have been killed. That's an entire classroom, every day, for over 600 days (at the time of writing). It's a staggering figure that only captures a fragment of the listless cruelty imposed on the strip.

Faced with such a genocide, what can music really do? How political can it truly be?  For their RA.1000, Thaemlitz gives us an unflinching rebuke to the idea that music should provide escapism. The mix weaves ambient fragments and jazz passages, woven around samples from Israeli media and the voices of outspoken Jewish critics like Gabor Maté and Norman Finkelstein. 

The result is not just a protest, but a document of our time. For Terre Thaemlitz, music is never just music. Her RA.1000 serves as a reminder that in an age of relentless suffering, the most political act is to reject the illusion of escape, and search for something greater.

Roots United presents a new release by Raciya Bağdad: the original track "Боец по телефону" and a suite of remixes from DJ MA GILLA, Wasta, and Badly.

The rap narrative about a hero's phone call, trapped by his own vices, is reimagined in remixes blending footwork, dubstep, and experimental electronics. The sound sits at the intersection of Russian storytelling and independent electronic music.
