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.
