To celebrate their 10th release, Rhythm Büro, the Kyiv-based lablel, collective and party initiative, has prepared a rather special compilation entitled 'There Will Be Light.' The compilation focuses on deep listening, chill-out and ambient music, which encompasses the team's diverse approach to music, which can be experienced at their events and on their label. The idea behind 'There Will Be Light' was born several years ago as a concept for providing relaxing sounds, to invoke a sense of peace and calm, in headphones on the street, in the subway, at home or in the car. This notion is all the more pressing as Ukraine is being ravaged by war; the objective of this release feels all the more relevant and important. Rhythm Büro believes that everyone, everywhere, deserves to have the instruments to help them achieve a peaceful state of mind and they hope that through listening to this release, it can help them do so.

The artists featured on 'There Will Be Light' are a cast of Rhythm Büro's long-time collaborators as well as a few new names, both Ukrainian by origin and international. Igor Glushko, the label's head, has managed to transform the initial idea for the compilation into a real collaboration of like-minded artists contributing to the cause, the project has taken around three years to complete. Each track is released for the first time and has been produced by such artists as: AES Dana, Priori, John Beltran, Saphileaum, Artefakt, Anthony Rother, Vida Vojic, Johanna Knutsson, Volodymyr Gnatenko, Asyncronous, Arthur Mine, Sebastian Mullaert, bvdub, Zavoloka, Nikolaienko, and Rhythm Büro co-founders Vera Logdanidi & Na Nich.

The 2xLP compilation will be released together with Rhythm Büro's 9th release, the debut solo EP from Vera Logdanidi entitled 'Banksia'.

Rhythm Büro is a Kyiv-based electronic music collective, event series, and record label that has carved out a significant space in the global underground scene. Since its inception in 2015, Rhythm Büro has hosted some of the most forward-thinking artists in techno, ambient, and experimental music, including Global Communication, Actress, Donato Dozzy, Surgeon, Oscar Mulero, Regis, Rrose, and many more.

The collective is known for its secret location events, often held in unique and industrial spaces around Kyiv, which have become legendary for their immersive atmospheres and high-caliber lineups. Rhythm Büro has also taken its showcase to major cities like Berlin, Paris, Tbilisi, Rotterdam, Prague and many more, establishing itself as a significant force in the international electronic music community.

One of the collective's most notable achievements is its annual festival, Natura. Held in a secret forest location just outside of Kyiv, Natura quickly became a beloved event for fans of deep, atmospheric techno, house and ambient music. The festival’s last edition, before the war, attracted a remarkable 4,000 attendees, all drawn to the unique experience of dancing in nature. Besides its carefully curated musical lineup, Natura distinguished itself as one of the first music festivals in Ukraine to champion an ecological agenda. The festival implemented a zero-waste policy, ensuring that all generated waste was recycled, with nothing sent to landfills.

The label arm of Rhythm Büro has released several critically acclaimed EPs, featuring both local talent and established names in the scene. Each release reflects the collective's commitment to deep, hypnotic, and atmospheric sounds, further solidifying its reputation as a tastemaker in the global electronic music landscape.

With its dedication to curating cutting-edge music and creating unforgettable experiences, Rhythm Büro continues to push the boundaries of what an electronic music collective can be, both in Ukraine and beyond.
