АЛ-90 – Радикальные Танцы

New single from the album "Ariadna" out Sept. 8th. Pre-order it on limited edition vinyl (comes with bonus 12"), CD (comes with January Sun EP) and cassette. 

Moscow's Kedr Livanskiy (real name Yana Kedrina) confesses "Synthesizers help me maximally feel the present moment." Livanskiy was born into a shifting and critical time for Russia.  The Soviet Union had exhausted and old values were anathematized because of reconstruction.  A sense of displacement drove Kedr to find herself.  She's escaped reality repeatedly in her explorations into the imagery and ideas of romanticism, mythical and fairytale themes which visibly bleed throughout her work and especially on her debut full-length 'Ariadna'.  The title track which was named after the Greek goddess, Adriane, debuted via THUMP today who've described it "anchors its elegantly drifting shoegaze melodies with a knocking electro beat."

Kedr considers this album to be divided into a couple of different parts - like how one person can contain many different moods. The first half revolves around mythological thoughts and the second takes cues from the urban and suburban environments around her, all the while in the middle of everything is the hero who experiences real feelings and emotions. 

Kedr also channels the places in her neighborhood on the outskirts of Moscow (affectionately dubbed by her as "BORDER MOSCOW"). There's a river there where identical Soviet high-rises stand on both sides, with a bridge and garbage processing plant adjacent. Where nature and industry meet. The whole scene looks very apocalyptic, but also mystical and mysterious, especially at twilight.

Her inspiration for this record comes from the Izhevsk (sometimes referred to as "the capital of Russian electronic music") sound of the 80s, including groups like Stuk Bambuka V XI Chasov (Bamboo Crash at 11AM) and Samtsy Dronta. The movement in Russian experimental music is especially inspiring, with acts likes Valery Chkalov, Sergey Kuryokhin and Pop Mechanica; in general, the late-Soviet period was very inspiring with all its figures in music, cinema, their energy and their approach towards life and art.

'Ariadna' marks a change in her recording approach: her critically acclaimed breakthrough EP 'January Sun' was written and recorded completely in Ableton, while 'Ariadna' was written using the Roland SH-101, Roland Juno 106 and Korg Minilogue synthesizers, then mixed down in Ableton. According to Kedr, "This way, one gets into a flow of live interaction, here and now, with the instrument." 

To her, this interaction is more "raw and sacred" than actually mixing the track down, which seems like "mere formalism" in comparison. There is a definite leap in production values this time around, but Kedr manages to keep true to her sound despite the greater polish and depth.

Kedr Livanskiy - Ariadna  [2MR-029]

This song describes the feeling that comes after a good laughter

Lovozero is a bold new voice on Russian electronic scene: intensely emotional, devastating and beautiful. Digital Devotional. New Dramatic.

Tolchneva is no newcomer, even though “Moroka” is her first full-length recording. She’s been playing in Tikhie Kamni with Moa Pillar, done magnetic sound installations and participated in countless performances on the verge of sound art and contemporary dance.

Anastasia Tolchneva’s debut album is full of hints at “wave music” and post-club microgenres but the scale of composition and production is way beyond the typical expectations of “bedroom tracks”. Full of digital sheen, cold synth lines are more than an accompanient for Anastasia’s powerful voice rooted in Northern Russian folk tradition. She sings in her mother tongue with zero histrionics. Often dipping into rivers of sub-bass, these expansive, intense, powerful songs and suites are aimed at an attentive listener and full of nuances. In a way, “Moroka” is a constant gut-punch, but it's also incredibly moving.

Lovozero’s debut album is definitely a statement that makes for a difficult and rewarding listen.

猫 シ Corp. - Crystal Tears

2k19 is a good year!

В самом грустном городе
На улице Грусти 
Впустила тебя  в гости , умыться от злости 
Слезы твои вытираю, для тебя сияю , 
Звезды собираю, наш сон охраняю 

В самолете мне в живот воткнули нож
Это было не к добру 
Как ты без меня сейчас живешь?
Я все не пойму

Кто теперь с тобой на кухне танцует 
Лежа на полу?

Оказалось я тебя ( совсем)  не знала 
Лучше я уйду 

Хочешь буду сильной а хочешь нежной
Буду элементом твоей одежды 
Хочешь без надежды, поперек и между, старше или младше , 
ближе или дальше?

Хочешь буду тихой а хочешь громкой?
буду притворятся твоей футболкой
Хочешь  ... Я забуду кто ты?
ведь тебе со мною страшно 
и все уже не важно 

В самом тихом городе 
На улице Счастья 
Не знала что приехала с тобою прощаться
Холодный взгляд , снежное предупреждение
Ты мне не рад , это не вопрос а утверждение
 
В самолете мне в живот воткнули нож 
Это было не к добру 
Как ты без меня сейчас живешь?
Я все не пойму 
Кто с тобою утром газеты читает?
Сидя на полу?
Оказалась я тебя совсем не знала 
Лучше я уйду

Xochesh?

Little something for the holidays
Big love to all supporters!
