A new set from the ‘Before The Curfew’ series is up on SoundCloud. This set was played by Serge Jazzmate on the 23rd of July at Backyard.

Serge Jazzmate has been a fixture of Kyiv's music scene for quite some years. He is known as the co-founder of the legendary local house night, LOW, as well as a versatile dj who always delivers perfectly crowd-pleasing selections. 

The series is updated on a weekly basis with recordings of sets that have been played in our space since the beginning of the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Tune in and don't forget to support the Ukrainian army, volunteer organizations and funds, including the ∄ community fund which continues to support volunteer initiatives from representatives of our community.

Black! Factory Festival 2023

Kasper Marott’s back with a second bout of electronic mischief for Bassiani Podcast 197. The Copenhagen based selector’s been around for many years and has only improved his knack for rhythms from one to the next, that and his singular aptitude for reading a room and playing to a crowd’s most primal instincts. His releases on Seilscheibenpfeiler, Kulør and his own imprint Axces every bit as catchy as his longer monologues behind decks. A little note on Axces: collective’s a closer descriptor, a group of friends and feedback loop designed to create all manner of wonderful sounds, visual artefacts and memorable parties that includes Marott’s buddies Alfredo92, Popmix, Søren Kinch, A. Waze and Martin Gilleshøj. Back to its co-founder: Marott’s a tried hand whose genre-bending flair is both austere and playful, straddling the binaries that often threaten to typecast aspiring DJs. His airy and saccharine disco a world away from the techno frenzy he manifests for this latest instalment. This is his closing set from the club floor back in December, nine hours of warped loops and general techno frenzy. Pulsating rave from this charismatic Danish phenom.

PRZ live @ Brave Factory festival, 2024

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.
