Ukrainian musicians are directly involved in the war against the russian occupier: someone on the front line in the army, territorial defense of their hometown, someone helping to relocate people to safe places or , We decided to collect tracks of freedom fighters and direct funds to the needs of the legendary brave Ukrainian army forces. Join the resistance!

Gost Zvuk prepare for a busy 2023 with an enthralling double LP's worth of futurist sound design from Flaty. In the game for more than a decade now, the producer, mastering engineer and all-round visionary artist has delivered an impressive range of music across both his own ANWO imprint as well as for West Mineral ltd., 12th Isle, Firecracker and more.

Always content to subvert expectations and blur stylistic lines, on Intuitive Word there is a clear fascination with a spectral, whittled-down-to-its-core type of avant-pop/RNB hybrid. Digital strings, dubbed beyond recognition semantic snatches, re-imagined new age style synthesis and even flourishes of MMORPG computer game soundtracks all combine into something that feels uniquely Flaty. In a sense, Intuitive Word marries ambient sound collage and hyperreal, narrative-style vocal processing. However, glimmers of shoegaze and old 'ethereal' bands (think Harold Budd & Cocteau Twins) crop up on tracks like 'Tree' and 'Nepal Lit', a testament to Flaty's skill for world-building and atmospherics.

Across the 19 cuts there is a recurring theme of choral style, computer generated elegies. A kind of 'cristal trance', in their words. 'Mint' combines these with overtly RNB style vocal samples, whereas darker, more broken beat soundscapes can be heard on the Madteo collab 'Observer'. With plenty of sombre and cinematic style ventures such as 'NEWS' breaking up the album and eschewing this focus on vocals, we find one of the most consistent producers in the current Russian scene delivering what may well be his most accomplished collection yet.

GOST020: Flaty "Intuitive Word"

As @mmmmalibu, the French DJ and producer Barbara Braccini writes diaristic ambient music with a distinct sense of melancholy. As dj lostboi, she’s more playful, repurposing pop anthems into ethereal epics. 

Alongside a blissful Recognise mix evoking the vibe of “long summer nights”, she chats to Heléna Stanton about these projects, field recordings, the influence of vaporwave, film scores and trance on her sound, and her monthly NTS show, United In Flames

My Life, The Remix

This is not me. I am not a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's wartime uniform, on a laptop in a basement somewhere. I am an experimental producer.
but for some reason Russians want me dead, therefore
This is not me. I did not produce these wonders of soundwave, I did not mix the remix and master the masterpiece. I am a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's uniform.

But a heart is a heart and there are eleven hearts here and they are S280F and Grischa Lichtenberger and Angelo Harmsworth and Galen Tipton and sv1 and trngs and Sara Persico and Hwoaranng and Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander and John Object. I am a file on their drives and they are the song in my heart.

The idea for a John Object compilation would seem obvious to some, as I really do know some of the greatest Ableton Live users to ever stumble upon this plane. I never had the heart to ask!

Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander are two of my friends from Berlin, and they are, to date, the only people that made it their business to bring me to play in that blessed city. I played at 8MM Bar both times (that place is fucking sweet) at Salon Oblique events. Now, at this war, in what I can only describe as a gesture of love and tender caring, they called upon the geniuses of today to work on my work and provided me with an album where there could not be one. This is a remix compilation that I found out about only when it was already release-ready.

I really only could take one night off, walked to the nearest village, and my dear friend Andrii, a soldier himself, brought me my camera, and I titled the compilation in blood. Then for a month I worked on a .pdf booklet for the digital edition, that, really, tells the whole story.

I think this is probably the wildest, most advanced music ever to be released by a soldier in active service.

I can't adequately express the crushing magnitude of tenderness, love and gratitude that I feel towards every person involved.

Thank you S280F: s280f.bandcamp.com
thank you Grischa: grischa-lichtenberger.com
thank you Angelo: angeloharmsworth.bandcamp.com
thank you Galen: o0o0o0o0.bandcamp.com
thank you sv1: sv-1.bandcamp.com
thank you trngs: trngs.bandcamp.com
thank you Sara: sarapersico.com
thank you Hwoarang: fantasyfictionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/won-for-the-heart
thank you Ludwig: www.ludwigwandinger.com
thank you Ross: rossalexanderpayne.com
thank you Andrii for being the best friend in peace and in war.

This all happened only because Ross brought me to Berlin for Salon Oblique at 8MM Bar www.salonoblique.net, and then Ludwig brought me to Berlin to record with him and play at Salon Oblique again, and then because they cared about me, and because my friend Andrii brought me the camera and helped me find the right way to call this.

So much never happened, and so much never will, because of Russians and their deep-seated hatred of me, of everyone I love, and everyone Ukrainian. I am still at war and I am still under threat of violent death every day. Many people I knew and served with have already been murdered by Russians. I am just lucky.

Coming soon:
Limited edition engraved USB carabiner drive with Plead, .pdf booklet, and a recording of a John Object live set at Salon Oblique on October 18th, 2021, when the war seemed so very, very unlikely, and this existence was not imaginable at all. Ships starting November 1st.

XTCLVR, the brainchild of Ukrainian sound artist and audio producer Artem Diachenko from Buchan near Kyiv, is set to release a new album titled 'INVERSE' on Standard Deviation. XTCLVR cinematic soundscapes have been featured in Standard Deviation’s audiovisual project 'Ridne' showcased at the CTM Festival in Berlin, ICA London and La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris. Known for his deep involvement in Kyiv's underground music scene, Artem is also a key member of the Pep Gaffe and Ejekt collectives, representing a fresh wave of Ukrainian independent artists dedicated to alternative and experimental sounds.

XTCLVR's music is characterized by deep, enveloping ambient passages and sharp synthesizer elements that often transform into hip-hop and dub bass lines. The name XTCLVR (ecstasy lover), created in 2019, humorously echoes with the techno culture.

'INVERSE' unveils a different facet of XTCLVR’s sound, with heavier and more aggressive tones. The traditional genres dissolve, and a grotesque tone draws the listener into a surreal, chimeric journeyThe album blends rich synthesizers and post-club polyrhythms with euphoric, upbeat elements, maintaining his distinctive style. Written throughout 2022-2023, the tracks on 'INVERSE' reflect a time of emotional instability and a dream-like state: is this all for real? The music features liquid sonic textures that escalate into distorted synths, fractured noisescapes, and eerie melodies. A standout track, 'FEEL ME', poses a bold inner dialogue, questioning reality itself.

'INVERSE' will be released on Standard Deviation on the 12th of July 2024.

Label [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] proudly presents its 53rd release — Ravine EP by Roman Ridder (@roman-ridder), a gifted electronic music producer from Düsseldorf and a master of deep atmospheres and intricate sound textures. This release delves into the profound layers of dub techno, where every track is like a stone plunging into an endless ravine, creating sonic ripples that are impossible to ignore.
Ravine EP features four original works and five remixes, transporting listeners to uncharted sonic landscapes. Each track is a unique soundscape, blending tectonic basslines, atmospheric textures, and multi-layered rhythms to evoke a sense of infinite depth.

Original Tracks:
Sakura — A delicate sonic mosaic where the gentle melodies of blooming sakura intertwine with deep, pulsating rhythms.
Barren Land — A desolate sonic expanse where minimalist textures evoke solitude and grandeur.
Ravine — The EP’s centerpiece, a deep canyon of sound with echoes of rhythm reverberating against invisible walls.
Apex — An energetic finale, ascending to a peak where resonance meets harmony.

Remixes:
Ravine (Mike Bentley Remix) (@mikebentleyprog) — A multi-layered rework with deep basslines and subtle melodies that breathe new life into the original.
Apex (Oldschool_Dubtechno .Producer Slope Edit) (@enercube & @x_fr) — A look into the past with a spirit of the future, this remix gives the original a vintage yet fresh sound.
Sakura (Akmuo Reshape) — A reimagined “Sakura,” transformed into a meditative sonic journey with intense rhythms.
Ravine (Armin's Wall of Sound RMX) (@arminbender) — A monumental wall of sound, where every element fills the space to its limit.
Ravine (moodeep mix) (@moodeep) — A deep and minimalist rendition, creating an atmosphere of introspective calm.

Ravine EP is a sonic painting where sounds become colors, weaving a detailed sonic tapestry. It’s more than just music; it’s an invitation into a dimension where serenity and power coexist.
Roman Ridder masterfully uses dub techno as a tool to explore the profound structures of emotion, space, and time. In this release, there are no random sounds — every element is meticulously crafted to offer listeners a unique experience.

Label [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] is honored to present this release and invites you to embark on a journey through a sonic canyon that will leave no one untouched.


Yours in sound and spirit,
The [PIRANHA SIBERIA DUB] Team.
