@monotronique shares a special mix of 100% Kharkiv artists 

"This mix is very special for multiple reasons. The selection is Kharkiv producer's music only. This is the first time our scene is being represented on such a big platform and I'm absolutely grateful and excited to make this.

This mix is very important on both sides, as worldwide as locally. Because in the worldwide media, if it speaks about the Ukrainian music scene, it mainly only speaks about the Kyiv scene, which is okay cause Kyiv is a capital. But this mix is a fact: Kharkiv has something to say. We have our unique vision of the music, scene and industry. This mix is the manifesto of that. I hope you can feel the vibe of the city and dig the massive sound that we have here.

I want to say a big thank you to Mixmag for giving me the opportunity to make this ambitious project. It can't happen without you and your support. Thanks for that unique chance.

Kharkiv, very soon we can shine and dance again! Slava Ukraini!

Cheers!
Monotronique"

Tracklist + Q&A

Scene: Monotronique (Kharkiv Special Mix)

Safe to say this one has been worth the wait! Relentless Sydney digger @daniel-lupica uncovers some seriously next level 90s kwaito and mid-tempo house from South Africa for a summer time spread full of pure under the radar heat! 

Q. Hey Daniel, what inspiration did you draw upon when putting this mix together? Is there a sound, feeling, or time/place in dance music history that connects all the different elements in one way or another?

A. Kind of, but it wasn’t super intentional; obviously I’m into 90’s sounds (in particular South African Kwaito and House) so I wanted to share some of my favourite finds of this year and string them together in a cohesive mix, keeping a steady mid-tempo vibe, where everything sounds both similar and different the whole way through. Nothing groundbreaking, just trying to keep an emphasis on quality and not play too many jams I’ve heard before in other DJ’s mixes.

Q. Are there any records in the mix that are especially close to your heart, or new or old favourites that you’ve been keeping up your sleeve for the right moment?

A. There are a few! As a lot of the SA stuff is not easy to come by, it feels like it’s by chance (right place, right time) that I ended up with a couple, so pretty grateful to have some of my grails in hand, such as the “Shima - S'Phete Vibe” LP, the song “Dlayani” is in the mix but it’s packed full of heat. Another is the “Andile - Want Me (Viagra Mix)” (recently added to my YT) that is red hot fave at the moment.

Q. With so many great under-the-radar South African records in the mix, can we expect to hear a few of these popping up on your youtube channel in the months ahead? And what other rabbit holes have you been exploring for the channel of late?

A. Yes for sure! There’s 3 or 4 in there that I plan to throw onto my channel. But hopefully I don’t sit on them too long and miss the boat.

The other rabbit holes that I’m always exploring include 90’s Latin/Spanish/Brazillian Hip Hop and Hip-House, as well as Reggae and Dancehall covers of 90s RnB and pop songs. Always nice to throw something familiar yet different into the mix when playing in a bar or club.

SONCE VSTAYE (cut from live)

@poly-chain very much takes electronic much into the future. The Kyiv artist born Sasha Zakrevska uses IDM, electro, and techno as building blocks to construct her own eerie, intense, and atmospheric sound worlds that are as cinematic as they are physical. Her edgy melodies are inventive, and her machine rhythms are hugely distinctive. She has not only written solo albums but has composed for theatre and museums, collaborated with Nene H, and released charity albums for Ukraine as part of her ongoing musical resistance.  

For this week's podcast, Poly Chain has sent us the recording of the very special live show she played at Dekmantel Festival this summer. It is an absorbing hour of beatless sound that will move you as much as any drum track. There are storytelling chapters to the set that takes you from darkened underworlds to starry cosmic expanses as the moods go from reflective and calming to more intense and unsettling. It is very much the sound of tomorrow, today.

@krimskyroman introducing the third edition Difficult Dance series.

Pulsating downtempo selection with interlacing sample interludes with lines from the poem "Berestechko" by Lina Kostenko. 

"I learned them at school looong time ago. And last month they were performed by pani Natalia in the theater Dah in Kyiv. I couldn’t even imagine how relevant they will be today…inspired again, thank you 🙏"
