“Paper Ruins” is a dramatic and melancholic debut from Sozorie, an up-and-coming producer from Minsk, Belarus. Beautiful experimental ambient and arty electronica inspired by “visionary architecture,” the kind of architecture that is not realistic and only exists on paper.

Nikolay Steshitz, the person behind Sozorie, is really enjoying creating what he calls “controlled aggression” in his sound. Indeed, even the lushest moments of “Paper Ruins” possess a certain tension, buried underneath the elusive melodies and the rubbery beats.

The album showcases a rich production palette. Some synth work here sounds “classic,” repurposing the classic IDM/electronica/downtempo canon. But then everything changes, and we get more penetrative, siren-like hyperboles that clash against glitches, kick drums, and distorted clangs shaping rhythmic passages not dissimilar to early Amnesia Scanner. Sozorie ties all of these broad influences into a knot and carefully places them inside a narrative, and it does feel like a scaled paper model of a brilliant, strange building. Steshitz comes up with a fresh vision and an excellent record equal parts a home listening trip and great material for the more adventurous DJs.

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of this @ednamartinezdj . Made a mix with songs that say more than anything I could write really.....Going to play two songs I wrote a while ago, one which I performed live in January 2020 at the Museum of Memory & Human Rights in Santiago and another which was made shortly after, they're both influenced by what was taking place in Chile at the time which mirrors in some ways what we are seeing in Colombia now. As some of you may know, since the end of april in Colombia there have been more than 2,000 cases of police violence against protesters, 33 victims of eye injuries and more than 40 civilians killed by the police. Since the beginning of the year more than 60 rights defenders have been assasinated, and among them 20 were indigenous leaders. Since 2016, over 400 human rights defenders have been killed. In all this darkness, there may be some hope that the protests can create meaningful change. Last Sunday, Chileans elected a new group of citizens who will write a new constitution for the country. This was one of the core demands of the huge protests of 2019/2020.  It will be the first anywhere in the world to be written by an equal number of men and women and it will replace the constitution that has been in place since the years of the military dictatorship.  The only reason this moment of hope is possible in Chile is because of the incredible social movements that rose up to demand change. As I've said elsewhere, the courage and determination of Chilean students, activists, protesters, writers, artists has been astounding and they have/are shifted/shifting the political landscape and will continue to do so. In the past month I've heard stories of Colombian protesters taking cues from Chilean protesters and beautiful solidarity between Colombians and Palestinians also. We have so much to learn from each other. May this solidarity and interconnectedness bring us better days and in the meantime may music sustain us and nourish us. Much love to you all ♡♡♡♡ - May 22nd 2021
