This week, we're listening to Nastya Vogan for ∄ 5th Anniversary Countdown.

The resident's set conceals well-known vocal parts and enchanting textures. Soft and warm ritual motifs turn into pensive sequences without losing the counterpoint of four-to-the-floor. The set ends with a slow dance to the cover by the band Nichlava of the song Invite Me to Your Dreams, famously performed by Nazariy Yaremchuk.

In addition to DJing, Nastya produces and composes her own music, showcasing everything from captivating live solo performances to creative collaborations. You may have experienced her electronic mono-opera with Albert van Abbe or heard her on the Standard Deviation label. Nastya is also a co-organizer and teacher at the Module Exchange electronic music school in Kyiv.

Listen to Nastya Vogan's new set, played on 25.08.24 at Backyard.
 ____________________

Цього тижня слухаємо Nastya Vogan для ∄ 5th Anniversary Countdown. 

Сет резидентки ховає в собі знайомі вокальні партії та магічні текстури. Мʼякі й теплі ритуальні мотиви переходять у задумливі секвенції, не гублячи контрапункту прямої бочки. А закінчується виступ артистки повільним танцем під кавер групи «Нічлава» на композицію «Запроси мене у сни», відомою у виконанні Назарія Яремчука.

Крім диджеїнгу Nastya Vogan займається написанням власної музики, живими сольними виступами та творчими колабораціями. Ви могли бачити її спільну електронну монооперу з Albert van Abbe або ж, наприклад, чути треки артистки на лейблі Standard Deviation. Також Nastya Vogan є співорганізаторкою та викладачкою в школі електронної музики Module Exchange у Києві.
