Outset from Backyard 15.09.2024 by Unit and ezzeo is out now.

Unit and ezzeo opened the event with an intuitive and organic b2b set, shaped by their shared musical roots. Flowing from ambient textures into minimalist rhythms and warm grooves, their sound felt raw yet magnetic—carrying both tension and freedom in equal measure.

Ethereal and evolving soundscapes during the first hours of each ∄ Community Event, always a reason to come earlier.

Outset—is a show available on SoundCloud, which highlights the opening sets of the ∄ Community Events. Outset focuses on the initial performances that kick-off events, allowing one to experience and appreciate the music that sets the tone for the evening.

Outset з Backyard 15.09.2024 від Unit та ezzeo вже на нашому SoundCloud.

Unit та ezzeo відкрили подію інтуїтивним та органічним b2b сетом, що побудований на їхньому спільному музичному досвіді. Від ембієнтних текстур до мінімалістичних ритмів і теплих грувів — їхнє звучання було водночас шорстким і магнетичним, поєднуючи напругу та свободу.

Ефемерні та мінливі звукові пейзажі під час перших годин ∄ Community Event — завжди привід прийти раніше.

Outset — це шоу на SoundCloud, яке висвітлює сети, що відкривають ∄ Community Events. Outset фокусується на виступах, які розгортають події, дозволяючи відчути музику, яка стає фундаментом вечора.
