This set was played by Recid on May 7th at the Backyard opening weekend.

A new set from the Before The Curfew series, performed by Aliana at Backyard on September 22, 2024, is now available on our SoundCloud.

A set by Aliana—Ukrainian producer and founder of the feminist party series Muza in Lviv—immerses us in pre-trance techno through records that have been waiting for a moment as special as the closing of Backyard.

Before the Curfew is a series of music podcasts that emerged in 2022 after the reopening of the club following the liberation of the Kyiv region. All recordings presented in this series take place before midnight before the curfew begins. Before the Curfew offers a vibrant snapshot of the Ukrainian music scene amidst challenging times, celebrating resilience, creativity, and unity through music.

Новий сет із серії «Before The Curfew», зіграний Aliana на Backyard 22 вересня 2024 року, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud.

Виступ від Aliana — української продюсерки та засновниці феміністичної серії вечірок «Muza» у Львові — занурює у претрансове техно через платівки, які довго чекали на настільки ж особливий момент, як закриття Backyard.

Before the Curfew — це серія музичних подкастів, що з'явилася у 2022 році після відкриття клубу та визволення Київщини. Усі записи, представлені в цій серії, проводяться до півночі, перед початком комендантської години. Before the Curfew — це відображення сучасної української музичної сцени в умовах викликів, що стоять перед нею.

BEFORE THE CURFEW ㉒ ALIANA

We are excited to present our new podcast series on SoundCloud, March Specials, dedicated to Women’s History Month.

This month, we will be releasing dj sets from artists who have performed within our walls over the past year. These are artists who shape the contemporary Ukrainian electronic scene and actively contribute to its development—through music, community, and their own unique perspective.

The series opens with a recording of a set by Domnista (she/her)—an Odesa-based dj, resident of Port club in the past, event organizer at Aharta, and founder of a vinyl record store Waxntalks. After moving to Kyiv, Domnista and her friends started Debarkader, a floating club in Podil that became an important space for the local music community.

Listen to Domnista's new set played on 13.04.24 at Ground Floor.

Раді представити вам нашу нову серію подкастів на SoundCloud, присвячену місяцю жіночої історії — March Specials.

Цього місяця ми публікуватимемо сети диджейок, які виступали у наших стінах протягом останнього року. Це артистки, які формують сучасну українську електронну сцену та активно сприяють її розвитку — через музику, спільноту та власну унікальну оптику.

Серію відкриває запис виступу Domnista (вона/її) — одеської диджейки, в минулому резидентки клубу Порт, організаторки вечірок в Агарті та засновниці вінілового магазину «Waxntalks». Переїхавши до Києва, разом із друзями Domnista відкрила плавучий клуб «Дебаркадер» на Подолі, який став важливим місцем для локальної музичної спільноти. 

Слухайте новий сет Domnista, зіграний 13.04.24 на Ground Floor.
