more worlds
I am listening through music to play on the radio show today. So here are some cuts from that.
Our protagonist, Neroba, was part of Da Sintezatoros!, a duo from the young Kyiv electronic scene of the 90s and among the first groups to introduce experimental techno in independent Ukraine. Later, producing music for TV ads and commercial jingles, and tracks for Ukrainian pop and independent artists, Neroba slowly accumulated a catalogue of works where his name wasn't prominent.
Synths are such amazing instruments. Holy cow. So sweet and boppy.
Fuck. Some songs are harrowing. This one builds and then releases and it feels horrible and also powerful. Something music can do and that must feel quite different for people who have gone through something like this and people who have not. TW: abuse and rape.
A digital mixtape featuring Sub Pop artists covering Minnesota musicians, capturing a snapshot of Minnesota's long history of life-changing music and to show solidarity with the people of Minnesota. In the wake of the ICE raids in Minneapolis this year, a lot of communities have been hit hard. Families have been disrupted, people have been displaced, and local support systems are under real strain. Proceeds from this compilation will be sent to The International Institute of Minnesota, a non-profit organization that supports refugees and immigrants through resettlement services, English and citizenship classes, job training (including nursing assistant training), immigration legal services, and direct financial support in the current environment.
A German band and a banger indeed.
