Sergii Galan, the Ukrainian producer also known as Haze, makes his debut on the Kyiv-based Rhythm Büro imprint. The artist who released his first ever EP just two years ago (the excellent ‘Somewhere In Time’ EP on Anagram Records) is now joining the roster of the label affiliated with the event series of the same name. While the Rhythm Büro events are best known for keeping the Ukrainian capital’s dance floors busy, the Rhythm Büro label is set to hit its fifth release with Haze’s RB005. As is evident with the EP’s artwork, RB005 marks the beginning of a new era for the label, breaking the ties with what was previously its signature visual mark.
 
The record’s opening tune is the heaviest on the EP, good reason as to why it was chosen as the title track. ‘Aimless’ is bottom-heavy and bass-rich, done in the true ‘acid eiffel’ face-melting fashion. However, its successor on A2, ‘Inner Voice’, takes a completely different route sound-wise, referencing timeless old-school breaks and vocal samples, which showcase the diversity of Haze’s palate. To further confirm this notion, ‘Prism’ on A3 appears as the EP’s ‘slow burner’, the acidic-psychedelic-downtempo tune you wouldn’t often come across on a record filed under “techno” in 2019.
 
In line with Rhythm Büro tradition of sorts, the B-side of the record is dedicated to the deeper tunes, which blur the lines between techno and house. ‘Majula Sunset’ on B1 is both trippy and melodic; with a groovy rolling bass line only a quality sound system could handle properly. Closing the record is Ben Buitendijk’s remix and combination of two of Haze’s tracks from the EP: ‘Prism’ and ‘Aimless.’ As indicated by the title, this track ‘Natura’ is not only a rework of Haze’s tunes, but also homage to one of Rhythm Büro’s most original events of the same name, which Buitendijk has played, an event which is held in the forest outside Kyiv every summer.

Warmly welcoming Gacha Bakradze on Horoom, we share the work of a Georgian artist that has gained international recognition in the past years.  Opening with „Elevate“ the track stays true to its name: elevating melodies guiding through a jungle of beats. In a time where harder is better, Gacha Bakradze elegantly suggests a more minimalistic approach to the sound of electronic music. While „Toulouse“ blends darker streams with aquatic hope, „Employee“ enjoys a big drop in the middle, just to continue on a more melodic note. Well crafted music through and through, this EP combines the flavours of different genres without bending them.
