From Khmelnitsky to the underground global scene, Grid User distils the sound of modern electro with a dark soul and machine spirit.

Artem, known as Grid User, is a Ukrainian producer and DJ originally from Khmelnitsky. His journey into electronic music began several years ago, leading him to study and produce his own tracks.

Inspired by the classics of electro and the work of German and American electro pioneers, Artem decided to release his first project on the Greek label Tiger Weeds. 
He has since self-released music on various Ukrainian and Western labels. Grid User is known for creating a unique sound that intertwines themes of transhumanism and digitalisation, exploring the connections between the future and the present, as well as the living and the synthetic.

While Artem leans towards a modern interpretation of electro, the influence of old-school sounds is clearly evident in his work. His love for the 808 drum machine, dark synths, and vocoders is an integral part of his musical identity. 

Recently, Artem has also begun to actively DJ at various events and parties across Ukraine. Additionally, he founded Connectome Records, a powerful new label dedicated to releasing music that offers a fresh perspective on sound and serves as a tribute to dark electro.

Release Info :

Traptor - 404 Ghetto Dreams EP [Connectome Records]

This EP is experimental ghetto electro cut through with a Memphis aesthetic, where compression compresses space and vocals run through deep delay sounds like a ghost from the street future. The bass rolls underneath, the synths keep you in constant tension, and the reverb adds paranoid depth. All of this is not just a collection of tracks, but a digital uprising

Tracklist : 
1. Traptor - Intro
2. Traptor - Ensembler
3. Traptor - Shatter
4. Traptor - Resonator

Marking his first full EP on Mechatronica, PRZ unveils Beyond the Void—a sharp-edged fusion of driving electro and techno pressure. Across six tracks, he crafts a world of mechanical tension, heavy low-end propulsion, and shadowy atmospheres. The release also features a standout collaboration with Unklevon, pushing the intensity even further into the void.

Release Info :

Anna Karina - METAPHORISCH EP

Anna Karina, Ukrainian music producer based in Berlin,
has released her first EP!

This EP showcases synthesizers and VCV Rack. The sound explores the sensations of wind and the vast, heavy landscape of the mind.
Rather than imitating the physical world, it channels perception — translating emotional states into abstract sonic forms.
Noise and glitch elements represent the raw, untamed aspects of the ocean, not as it sounds, but as it feels.

Through generative techniques, where algorithms influence structure and detail, the composition mimics the unpredictable nature of waves, thoughts, and shifting inner currents. The result is not a direct simulation, but an evolving soundscape that captures the movement and instability of an internal ocean.

This ocean is metaphorical — an ocean of emotion, memory, and perception. It has little in common with literal wave sounds but resonates as a deep, sensory reflection of a mental state.

The goal is not realism, but transformation: to turn the intangible into an auditory environment. This process creates a unique listening space where meaning is felt, not explained.
The result is a deeply personal landscape, shaped by resonance, dissonance, and silence, where the listener is free to drift, dissolve, or reassemble within the sound.

I want you to remember abstract soundscapes that evoke memory, mind, emotion, and altered states.

Tracklist :
1. GLASSWARE
2. MELANCHOLY
3. STEIN
4. STURM

Allumynd - Under/Step [Microm Records // MR047]

Technical Report on Sensitivity in Degraded Systems

In an environment where the boundary between the organic and the synthetic has eroded, Under Step operates as a sonic mapping of systems on the brink of collapse. Each pulse, each frequency, records a residual function: the recirculation of emotional waste, the persistence of propaganda in ruined spaces, mental trampling as a control mechanism, and finally, the cry for help from machines that have learned to feel.

Under Step does not narrate a dystopia: it documents a present condition. Beneath layers of raw electro, decayed funk, and lofi textures, failed attempts at affective reorganization unfold.

Synthetic voices emit a coded message:

The final warning before the definitive silence.


Tracklist :
1. Under/Step
2. EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation)
3. ADS_in_Your_Pub
4. Save_Me
