TIME (with Jamie Woon)

https://leavingrecords.com/statues-live
Spencer Zahn is the LA-residing bassist/multi-instrumentalist and composer who has released several albums both as a solo artist and as a collaborator. His music is marked by openness - spacious sonic spaces rich with contributions from his creative community.

In November 2023, Zahn released Statues - the album compositions were written during a six month period of solitary focus - however after moving to Los Angeles in early 2023, Zahn started to work with a group of new musicians that make up some of the most exciting players in LA. His new west coast quartet consists of Nicole McCabe, Vancil Cooper, and Zach Tenorio.

On Zahn’s latest offering Statues Live the west coast quartet performed two live concerts both recorded to make up the tracklisting for his new album. Though the compositions are the same as the studio album Statues, the sound and performance is unique to this new live album leaning heavily on the perspective of the quartet and their collective improvisations. Side A was recorded live, outdoors at the Leaving Records concert series. Side B was recorded live, indoors at Altamira Sound in front of a studio audience.

Cole Pulice - After the Rain

Ambient & experimental 24/7: https://cultkitchen.radio

We’re beyond excited to share a special mixtape with you from @hoavi (aka Kirill Vasin), a St Petersburg-based producer and DJ who has been an integral part of the underground scene for over a decade.

Hoavi’s journey began in the early 2010s when he founded his label, Shells Rattle, and he has since released music on labels such as floe, Snare Tapes, Peak Oil, Fauxpas, Minor Notes and ГОСТ ЗВУК. Beyond his solo work, Hoavi has collaborated with artists like Oomkah Dee, contributing to the "Collage" series, which blends sound art with contemporary dance. We've first got acquainted with his ambient side thanks to the album "Music for Six Rooms" which we also invite you to revisit. We were so taken by it at the time that we reached out to him to add one more gem to our collection.

The mix he recorded for us is a beautiful blend of genres and emotions, with ambient tracks, dubby sounds and abstract beats – a journey through soundscapes and experimental vibes. It’s not pure ambient, but the sound flows so naturally that it felt like the perfect fit for our series.

Hoavi — CultKitchen Radio Show #48

Ten years of anything in the music world is an achievement, especially with the surfeit of choice and fatiguing overload of our digital attention spans. Blink and you’ll miss it announcements swallowed up by the algorithm, incessant PR mail-outs and Bandcamp/Soundcloud feed uploads all struggling to compete. Labels like GOST ZVUK show the merit in quietly doing your thing. For the last decade they have been working with an ever-expanding group of core producers and, importantly, friends to showcase a modern world of collaborators informed by the roots of styles as diverse as hip-hop, ambient, nostalgic library sounds and classic dance music.

What they present in celebration of this landmark is a 4xLP compilation which unfolds across a thrillingly disorientating, attentive and sonically psychedelic 120 minutes. The variety of the collection draws from far and wide, from the decaying choral vocals and cinematic string timbres of Batsqueak’s ‘fm2shelter’ to the kosmiche droning synthesisers of Moscow duo S A D or Hoavi’s frantic, scattered poly-rhythms. Refined, complex sound design awash with field recordings and the storytelling of Sasha Hilko on Ilya Vlasenko’s impressive ‘untitled’ contrasts with playful rhythm-box R&B loops courtesy of DX20V. Lengthy jazz-funk stylings from Piramyds of Ural flow into phaser-heavy cosmic space rock from Atal, loose, sun-kissed dub experiments brush shoulders with Mills-esque ambient techno loops. Label regulars such as Oleg Buyanov (OL), Nocow and Lapti appear amongst a vast array of newcomers from the Russian underground, all finding their place in the compilation.

The sequencing work of label owners Ildar Zaynetdinov and Flaty threads a narrative for each vinyl side, carefully chosen with the medium in mind. Transitions between the likes of Stas Karpenkov’s ‘WORLD’ and ‘Material Fatigue’ by Gamayun or the timbre and mood shared on Ясень’s ‘Уходишь Ты’ and Kedr Livanskiy’s ‘Trees in the Shadow’, the latter a spectral pop ballad drowned in reverb, show the attention to detail and care put into the project. You could land at any point in the collection and draw parallels, though, regardless of order.

There is an overarching identity now running through the label's evolution, from the house and techno beginnings to the more abstract forms of later LP releases and now all tied together with this celebration of a decade in the game. In a way, genre and form are disregarded for a sense of collective feeling.
