Our second special podcast with @id_ua. 

At the end of the year, and it has become traditional, I make a mix of slow music, it will be useful in the background atmosphere of the holidays. This year was too difficult, so I wish everyone a victorious next year. Glory to Ukraine!

POVILNO SPECIAL 02 with ID_UA / Holidays In Bed

'Electro punk disco', what's not to like about that? This is the name that London duo Baba Ali coined to describe their electrifying sound which takes a little bit of all the things we love here at Ransom Note and stirs them up in a big old pot.

Comprised of American musician Baba Doherty and British guitarist Nik Balchin, the group blend elements of punk funk and electro with NYC disco and no wave, that's equal parts for the dance floor and for the stage, which they're no stranger to.

They've been touring up and down the country since their debut LP dropped in 2021 and they're showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. With the release of their sophomore album imminent - a debut on Memphis Industries called 'Laugh Like A Bomb' which has been on repeat on 6Music - they join The Go! Team on tour around the UK as of this weekend. But before that they'll be making a pitstop at our own R$N residency at The Social on 10th March for an intimate live set...

Ahead of the gig, we asked Baba to give us a flavour of all his influences, which he does in fine fashion with this mix of groovy, crunchy funk, punk, synth pop, new wave and electro... Perfect fodder for your thirsty Thursday.

They have already collaborated with leading artists and pioneers in electronic music including Lena Platonos, Tolouse low Trax, Khidja, MR TC, Zombies in Miami, Man Power, Simple Symmetry, Echonomist, Bawrut.

They had also run a monthly residency on the Georgian experimental music station Mutant Radio in 2020-2021.

They have performed in many venues across London (including Fabric, Shacklewell arms, Electric Brixton, XOYO, Boat Live, Pickle Factory), whilst also performing in international events and venues such as ADE Amsterdam and Sisyphos.

An intriguing and revealing hypnotic immersion from the enigmatic duo https://soundcloud.com/juna_musik.

"Archetipo" explores the landscapes of the unconscious.
The word "persona" in Latin means mask: thus the personality, the scenery of the ego, is transformed into a theatre of archetypal images, merging word and music, like a rhetorical figure, a synesthesia. The aesthetic-musical research is a poetic-sound journey into the psyche, to tell and celebrate it.
