Magic Carpet Ride 32

A new set from the Before The Curfew series, performed by Shjva at Ground Floor on February 17th, is now available on our SoundCloud. 

Shjva is a Ukrainian artist, the founder of the label Penumbrum, based in Warsaw. Shjva has firmly established herself on the Polish electronic scene as a talented artist and representative of Ukrainian musical culture. Her recent performance at the Community Event stood out for its hyper-immersive tech house and progressive, low-frequency goa-sound, and expressive trance vibes.

Before the Curfew is a series of music podcasts that emerged in 2022 after the reopening of the club following the liberation of the Kyiv region. All recordings presented in this series take place before midnight before the curfew begins. Before the Curfew offers a vibrant snapshot of the Ukrainian music scene amidst challenging times, celebrating resilience, creativity, and unity through music.

Новий сет із серії Before The Curfew, зіграний Shjva на Ground Floor 17-го лютого, вже доступний у нас на SoundCloud. 

Shjva — українська артистка, засновниця лейблу Penumbrum, яка базується у Варшаві. Shjva впевнено закріпилася на польській електронній сцені як талановита артистка та представниця українською музичної культури. Її останній виступ під час Community Event відрізняється гіперімерсійним тек-гаусом та прогресив, низькочастотним гоа із виразним транс-звучанням.

Before the Curfew — це серія музичних подкастів, що з'явилася у 2022 році після відкриття клубу після визволення Київщини. Усі записи, представлені в цій серії, проводяться до півночі, перед початком комендантської години. Before the Curfew — це відображення сучасної української музичної сцени в умовах викликів, що стоять перед нею.

Kristina May presents The Mushroom Explorer. Mushrooms grow from the Earth, and they don’t fit neatly into any of the Kingdoms of living things. They can stretch from the earth to animals, even to the human body. But there’s one undeniable thing about these creatures: they are incredible communicators. Through their mycelia, they can pick up all sorts of messages, from weather changes to the experiences of other mushrooms. In fact, they’ve mastered the fastest and most intelligent form of communication long before the internet ever existed.
We are all Mushroom Explorers to some extent. We are all searching for our own definitions. We all travel to find what matters - both in mind and physically, embedding definitions and getting rid of them, communicating them to the universe, going on infinite journeys, successful or not. Hence whether the journey is enjoyable at the time or not, you may return to find a completely different experience every time – which is the essence of being alive. So in the end, the Mushroom Explorer captures so much, but not everything and nothing at all—after all, it’s confined to a one-hour show. There’s so much more to share.. 
Kristina May is a London-based musician from Transnistria. On one side, Kristina explores deep meditative sounds, trans-inducing Sonics, sequences with subtle changes of rhythms and patterns. On the other side, they are concerned with contrasts in music, cacophony and harmony, noise and silence. They seek colour in music and from there comes the journey they take you to. From their more experimental excursions to the relentless obscure beats, one will always find something exotic and interesting to hold on to.

Drinking Rust From A Frequency Bank w/ Kristina May [15.02.25]

An extraordinary blend of abstract music, trip-hop, and rooftop beats, a thoughtful yet spacious and dramatic story by NATUR label founder Samogulov. 

If music could be smoky, this is how it would sound in most moments of this mix; the rest is hard to describe – just listen.

Recorded at home session 28.02.24

We are excited to present our new podcast series on SoundCloud, March Specials, dedicated to Women’s History Month.

This month, we will be releasing dj sets from artists who have performed within our walls over the past year. These are artists who shape the contemporary Ukrainian electronic scene and actively contribute to its development—through music, community, and their own unique perspective.

The series opens with a recording of a set by Domnista (she/her)—an Odesa-based dj, resident of Port club in the past, event organizer at Aharta, and founder of a vinyl record store Waxntalks. After moving to Kyiv, Domnista and her friends started Debarkader, a floating club in Podil that became an important space for the local music community.

Listen to Domnista's new set played on 13.04.24 at Ground Floor.

Раді представити вам нашу нову серію подкастів на SoundCloud, присвячену місяцю жіночої історії — March Specials.

Цього місяця ми публікуватимемо сети диджейок, які виступали у наших стінах протягом останнього року. Це артистки, які формують сучасну українську електронну сцену та активно сприяють її розвитку — через музику, спільноту та власну унікальну оптику.

Серію відкриває запис виступу Domnista (вона/її) — одеської диджейки, в минулому резидентки клубу Порт, організаторки вечірок в Агарті та засновниці вінілового магазину «Waxntalks». Переїхавши до Києва, разом із друзями Domnista відкрила плавучий клуб «Дебаркадер» на Подолі, який став важливим місцем для локальної музичної спільноти. 

Слухайте новий сет Domnista, зіграний 13.04.24 на Ground Floor.

MARCH SPECIALS ① DOMNITSA

@noizar's sound goes far beyond conventional house or techno. The Ukrainian DJ, who is now based in Amsterdam, has long since proven this with countless closing sets as resident at Kyiv’s legendary Closer club. It was there where he stood out for unearthing minimal techno treasures in places no one else looks. As such, you can always be sure that wherever Noizar mixes crop up online, they will be flooded with cheeky "ID?" requests, and quite often you will find they come on his vinyl-only Wicked Bass label.

For his Dekmantel Mix he offers a perfect snapshot of what he does in the booth: carefully dug out delights that don't really fit in usual categories. But they do tap into a specific deepness and groove that is rooted in Kyiv's minimal scene and the dance floor of Closer club. It results in a tight, taught hour of body music that perfectly balances function and form.
