The new set from the Before The Curfew series features Recid B2B Roman K at Backyard on the 30th of September 2023, is now available on our SoundCloud. 

The cover photo is one of the last shots taken by Roman K on the southern coast of Crimea after the annexation. That day, there was a storm at sea, which symbolically represented the pain, fear, and protest against the events of 2014.

This set marks the first time these two friends have reunited behind the decks, having been away from their hometown and loved ones for a long time. They always have a lot to talk about without using words.

Before the Curfew is a series of music podcasts that emerged in 2022 after the reopening of the club following the liberation of Kyiv. 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» — це виступ Recid B2B Roman K на Backyard 30 вересня 2023 року, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud. 
Обкладинка — одне з останніх фото, зроблених Roman K на південному березі Криму після анексії. Того дня на морі була гроза, як символ болю, страху і протесту проти подій 2014 року. 

Цей сет — перша зустріч за пультом двох друзів, які давно не були в рідному місці та не бачили близьких. Їм завжди є про що поспілкуватися без слів.

Before the Curfew — це серія музичних подкастів, що з'явилася у 2022 році після відкриття клубу та визволення Київщини. Усі записи, представлені у 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.

ANA B — українська диджейка, яка відзначилась виступами на головних майданчиках Європи та Америки. 
Цього разу артистка відійшла від свого класичного техно звучання, занурюючи нас в атмосферу квір-вечірок Нью-Йорку, де вона розпочала свій музичний шлях. 
Цей запис відносить нас до яскравих та теплих спогадів літнього Backyard 2024.
