Break The Pattern! #9 Mixed By Skif Tafari

Pain
Comes and goes
I really want it
Pain
Comes and goes
I really need it
Pain
Comes and goes
I really want it
Pain
Comes and goes
I really need it

Everytime the stress goes up
It attacks me
Everytime my brain screws up
It smacks me
Every time people lie
It cracks me
Everytime I want to cry
It laughs at me

Changed my way

Stronger Than Pain

“Break the Pattern” is the core rupture of the album — not an explosion, but a steady unraveling. With surging drums, layered guitars, and emotional lift, it marks the moment when numbness is no longer enough. It’s not triumphant — it’s trembling, real, and necessary. A first, shaking step toward yourself.

Break the Pattern

“Underneath Routine” explores the hollowness hidden inside structure. It’s about the masks we wear in daily function and the quiet voice trying to break through them. Beneath every practiced smile, there’s a question we’ve been avoiding. This song leans into that.

Underneath Routine

“Reset Ritual” opens Break the Pattern in the blur of habit. It’s about the trance of functioning, the motions we repeat so much they erase us. But under the surface of routine, there’s a flicker. A breath. A quiet question asking if we’re really okay.

Reset Ritual

“Nothing Feels Mine” is about the disorientation of wearing too many masks for too long. It voices the ache of not recognizing yourself — not because you’re lost, but because you’ve been too well-behaved. A weary anthem for those stuck in lives that don’t feel like theirs.

Nothing Feels Mine

“Soft Revolt” is a song about quiet refusal. It doesn’t scream for change — it sits with the discomfort and chooses not to obey the pressure to perform. This is what resistance sounds like when you’re too tired to shout, but still brave enough to say “no.”

Soft Revolt

“Let It Misalign” is the turning point — the moment you stop chasing symmetry and start embracing your own shape. It’s about learning that freedom isn’t clean or polished. It’s disordered, real, and yours. This is the song that unravels the loop from the inside.

Let It Misalign

“Static Grace” is an ode to the quiet resilience found in stillness. It honors the slow, imperfect kind of healing, the kind that hums beneath burnout, rusts into beauty, and stays even when nothing changes. It’s a love song for what didn’t break you, even when it almost did.

Static Grace

“Everything I Swallowed” is the emotional heart of the album. It voices the quiet cost of emotional repression, all the truths we bury to keep the peace. This is where the internal pressure finally rises, not to explode, but to be heard. It’s a slow purge, a soft reckoning.

Everything I Swallowed

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.

Skif Tafari or his favourite tempo!
Over the years of his extensive experience as a DJ, he has continuously immersed himself into countless music scenarios and sound combinations which at some point resulted in willingness to come up with and bring to life his own ideas. This decision became fundamental in launching Taras Kohanovskyi’s project named Skif Tafari. Taras is not only a DJ but also a vinyl enthusiast with an impressive collection of top-notch music of various genres that has been formed for more than two decades. It varies from acid house, breakbeat, late 80’s / early 90’s jungle to contemporary sounding of deep house, microhouse, breaks, dub techno, minimal breakbeat, ragga dub, 2step and d’n’b. 
During the soundcheck at one of the major music events, Taras once heard an old-school breakbeat piece which stirred his nostalgic feelings and brought him back to the basics. Dusting off his old records and a collection of music samples, he got down to writing new tracks as SKiF TAFARi. Owing to many years of experience and reconsidered look at his favourite rhythms, SKiF TAFARi’s tracks gained high-quality sounding which is highly recognizable and sometimes ironic.
