Gost Zvuk invites Vlad Dobrovolski (@vladislav-dobrovolski), a multidisciplinary artist also known as Fitz Ellarald. Vlad also takes part in trio kurvenschreiber and S A D duo. 

A couple of words about the mox from Vlad himself: 

"I invite you to listen to the new, rare, and little-known works from my projects and the projects of my friends. Here you will hear a familiar attraction to the sounds of water, bird songs, and the buzzing of insects, and a vibrant love for pastoral keyboard motifs. I delved even deeper into the tension between natural and artificial - this mixtape is still a projection of observations of nature, in my opinion, and here they are expressed in a hyper-synthetic language, carefully thought out by me.

Although this work is less illusive than the earlier ones, much of it carries the hope that my colleagues and I have for organic or "ecological music" – it could also be called an object or soundscape that can be listened to easily and airily. This is not music that excites or transports the listener to another world, it encourages you to float like smoke and become part of the environment that surrounds you, the listener.

In other words, it is music that creates a strong connection with people in everyday life... Moreover, this mix is not an attempt at self-expression or a complete work of art, rather, it brings together music that, by merging and moving, changes the character and meaning of space, things, and people."

GOST ZVUK x Dublab: guest show with Vlad Dobrovolski

The don of Siberian techno Roma Zuckerman (@roma-zuckerman) made his debut double LP ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ on Gost Zvuk with a much-anticipated showcase of his remarkably diverse language of sound, from quickfire DJ tools to off-kilter extrapolations with a full stylistic diversity in between.

Working through the archive, the label assembled a collection of hypnotic loops in the vein of early Robert Hood and click-and-cut experiments that recall the punk attitude of Berlin's Elektro Music Department, all the while with nods towards European minimal. The album opens with two subdued, speak-and-spell processed vocal jams before 'Text Regulator' brings things into overdrive with furious drum programming and wide-eyed glitch FX. Over to Side B things take a turn into something more melodic and relaxing, an almost BBC radiophonic workshop zone with synthetic underwater sounds bringing to mind Amadeo Tomassi's library soundtracks of the late 70s. Think of early sonic portrayals of deep space exploration or the ocean's vastness mixed with repetitive 909 stabs.

‘I Play Everyday’ strikes as one of the album's highlights, a prime example of Zuckerman’s fascination with creating loop-based grooves to get lost in. There’s a hint of Richard H. Kirk’s 90s IDM classic ‘Freezone’ in the timbre of the opening moments, but where Kirk goes into sample-heavy cross-cultural futurism, ‘I Play Everyday’ seems acutely concerned with subtle reductions. ‘Extra Work’ harnesses a kind of pounding warehouse gabber energy with what sounds like a collage of shortwave radio voices, whereas album closer ‘Companeros’ brings in snippets of traditional Spanish-style acoustic guitar, albeit layered in a concrete manner with bursts of electrical distortion. It makes for one of the LP’s most surprising moments, but all round ‘Phenomenon of Provincial Mentality’ shows an artist working with a vast variety of styles. A truly great body of work to kick off the year.

GOST ZVUK x Dublab: guest show with Piper Spray & Lena Tsibizova

Gost Zvuk presents the first vinyl release from the hidden gem of the Moscow electronic scene – Dmitry Drozdov. Under the shadowy alias of @dx2ov, on Interzona he plays with an array of fairground-like melodies, lo-fi house motifs, buoyant space-age optimism, and old-school UK breaks. Along with the strong emphasis on melody, at the forefront of his style is a keen ear for off-kilter, scattered percussion, with 'Voices' shining as a curious example of polyrhythmic, synthetic metallophone meshing with gritty Roland rhythm box styles. The album glides between these sharper moments and experiments with gloopy, submerged aesthetics and Madlib-like phone call snippets ('OK') as well as minimalist, Detroit-inspired funk on the microhouse-esque 'Loop' - another highlight with its perfectly placed and skewed vocal lead.

'Eliseus' runs close to 130bpm with a tight drum pattern reminiscent of the excellent 'Gesicht Aus Diamant' by 100Records, a minimal gem from 2005. Dima's track channels similar ecstatic synth propulsion, with what sounds like a warped choral disintegration washing in and out of the stereo field. More trippy vocal distortions all around! The influences run wide and deep across Interzona, from beat tape hip-hop to US house/techno and library music. The ambient closing cuts also tread a similar path at points to label mate Flaty's AEM Rhythm Cascade & Dices collaboration.
