Next up in our mix series is Blue Hour - DJ, producer and label-head under the same name. With an ethos to evolve and support compelling artists, the door of 'Blue Hour Music' opens up, releasing the work of Alpha Tracks and Dold along the way, as well as gaining the reputation of a respected and important outlet for contemporary techno music. 

In this mix, Blue Hour showcases his potent, club-ready side of his arsenal. One hour full of energetic grooves, full blooded basslines and sweaty soundscapes.

For my return to Open Ground, I had the idea to record my full set and post it online. Nothing can really describe that club, the sound system, the room accoustics, the way everything has been designed just breathes passion and dedication. Just amazing crew and always a treat to come back there.
The vibe there was absolutely amazing, and I guess you really just have to experience it on the spot to really get what it's like. 

But yea, here's the 3h30 journey we've embarked on there this 8th May, and I hope you enjoy it !

A new set from the Before The Curfew series, performed by Chontane at Ground Floor on December 7, 2024, is now available on our SoundCloud.

For his Ground Floor selection, the dj leaned into slower rhythms and minimalist sound—music that unfolds gradually, inviting a subtle shift from light to darkness. Chontane dug into tracks from the 2000s and 2010s, chasing a sound that blends naturally into the space and lets the story unfold without rush or pressure.

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 Chontane на Ground Floor 7 грудня 2024 року, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud.

У своїй добірці для Ground Floor диджей заглибився у сповільнені ритми й мінімалістичне звучання — музику, яка відкривається поступово, ніби запрошує пройти шлях від світла до темряви. Chontane звернувся до треків з 2000-х і 2010-х, шукаючи звучання, що органічно вплітається в простір і дозволяє історії розгортатися без поспіху й тиску.

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.

Oliver Ho as Broken English Club delivers monotone vocals and shards of live instrumentation over slamming beats and bleak synths. The blank-stared, pin-point-focused electronics and layers of noise display post punk influences, dragging together industrial experimentation and pitch-black club techno.

Broken English Club is not only a production alias for Oliver but also a dynamic live show, that encompasses live vocals and electronic drum percussion, performing all over the world in clubs, live venues and art galleries. Recent highlights include, Berlin Atonal, Fabric, Tresor, and Dekmantel Festival.
