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.

March Specials wrap up with a set from Alinka (she/her)—a Kyiv-born dj shaped by Chicago house. She co-founded with Shaun J. Wright the independent label Twirl, where they channel their vision of the electronic scene, infused with the spirit of the old school.

Despite her busy schedule, Alinka stays deeply connected to Kyiv and its music community. She returns regularly to support the scene, catch up with friends, and spend time in the city that will always feel like home.

Listen to Alinka’s latest set, played on 14.09.24, at Backyard. 
________________________

March Specials завершуються із сетом від Alinka (вона/її) — диджейки, яка народилася в Києві та виросла на чикагському гаусі. Разом із Shaun J. вона заснувала незалежний лейбл «Twirl», через який вони транслюють своє бачення електронної сцени, пронизане духом старої школи.

Попри насичений графік, Alinka зберігає глибокий зв’язок із Києвом і локальною сценою. Вона регулярно повертається, щоб підтримати спільноту, провідати друзів та місто, яке завжди залишається її домом.

Слухайте новий сет Alinka, зіграний 14.09.24 на Backyard.
