A tribute to Pyotr Mamonov - musician, actor and a great soul

Мамонов И Алексей - Автобус МОА (Koyil Edit)

f19f - _18

There is a fine line between day and night that seems visible on Fama87’s (@fama-87) debut cassette on Gost Zvuk, aptly named День, ночь (Day, Night). There is no difference between “daytime” and “nighttime” tracks. They are always somewhere in between. Fama87 is no stranger to the label family. He has frequently played at our parties, has collaborated with Flaty and Nocow as part of Wax Paper Cup and has done a few releases with Flaty alone (as Underwraps and FFAA). Both of them featured as guests on this tape. rforest seems like a dialogue between Flaty and Fama87, with a melancholic melody and a persistent beat. Nocow’s gentle voice enriches both Останься со Мной (Stay with Me) and Проснуться на Восходе (Awaken at Dawn).

Despite Fama87’s background in the world of instrumental hip-hop, it’s definitely not a beat tape. He just seamlessly glides back and forth between genres in a continuous stream. On the album you can feel the echoes of ambient, electro, house, hip-hop, R&B, IDM, field recordings and old film music. The hidden plot of the album reveals itself after a few listens. It’s all about the eternal cycle of time: day follows night and night follows day, and so on and so forth.

Purer Than Love

Психопремьера: Oaken Chariot / Дубовая колесница — Purer Than Love

For Oleg Azelitskiy, known as DJ Slon, the nineties and the first half of the aughts were an era of “firsts”. First squat parties on the banks of the Obvodny Canal and more legitimate ones at Tunnel, first proper techno club in Russia. First DJ sets, first vinyl records in his collection, first radio shows at Port FM. He is a true veteran of the Russian techno movement, who carried his love for the genre through three decades and inspired more than one generation of musicians. Album №1 is the first edition of his music on vinyl. It comprises the music that Azelitskiy made during 1995 – 2005, except for the track My 40th Vesna, produced in 2010.

Azelitskiy’s love for techno was born out of contradictions. Thanks to the Soviet synth band Zodiac and the French pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, he had loved electronic music since his childhood. When he grew up, he got into the dark, introspective pieces by Einstürzende Neubauten and Bauhaus. Not only does the wide-ranging palette on Album №1 reflect its creator’s taste, it echoes the changing times of the Russian nineties. It was the time when confrontations with criminals were inseparable from the parties and get-togethers bustling with local artists.

His affection for various genres led to many monikers and projects, all represented here on Album №1. He recorded most of his music as DJ Slon. Then there was a project Zhutkiy Lazer (Scary Laser), where Azelitskiy made music that was more experimental but still techno-oriented, with the occasional help of his friend Aleksey Gaponenko (Lazer became a proper solo project of DJ Slon in 1999). There are also tracks under the aliases Mass Fatality, which combined techno and synth-pop, and Razrushiteli Mozgovych Uliev (Brain Hive’ Destroyers), with its more direct tight techno tracks.

The music of DJ Slon sounds fresher and more alive on Album №1 than ever before. Noticeably, this record, first and foremost, is dance music. As a voice on one of the album tracks boldly states, we came to dance.
