Max Chorny. The New Sound of Ethnic Ukraine.
In spite of the fact that this album is an electronic one, personally I associate it with my childhood, though being a child I knew nothing about electronic music. May be, the explanation is that the album contains the melodies, which I heard by radio in those times. Truth to tell, then I took them exclusively as a background. With this album the background is exactly an electronic filling – though this is the background filled with its own patterns, moves and branches. Still, the melodies, whose age is practically impossible to identify, advance to the forefront. May be it is possible to say that these are not the melodies from the childhood of separate person, but these are the melodies of the Ukrainian people in general and of the Ukrainian land as well. In that way, the album presents modern sounding of an old grey history – in subjective interpretation. So, you make sure again and again that real roots always remain topical, they always remain a powerful basis for search – and for interesting findings.

Monatik. LOVE IT rhythm. /digi-pack/.


Dmytro Monatik is a true self-made performer, life seems to have not offered him any preferences. Having once stepped on the path towards the large scene by way of dancing, he is currently a pop artist capable of assembling a full stadium, charging a large vibrant show, and driving the entire stadium to dance..

Monatik. Zvychyt. /digi-pack/. (It Sounds)


Today he is – one of the most fashionable and demanded pop artists of the Ukrainian dancing-focused scene. Monatik's second album, which includes lots of soul intonations and light ethnic decorations, is an illustration of his ability and willingness to search for..

Cepasa. Doing Right.


Despite the variety of colors and moods of individual tracks, each with its own identity, "Doing Right" remains an integrated album of intelligent, fairly soft electronic music, which is able to not only gently charge the battery, but also charm with gentle lines, and subtle hints.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Tomato Jaws. No Concept.


..although the disc has the name "No Concept", a certain concept still looms transparently enough, which in the following works witnessed perceptible development. Namely – Tomato Jaws has started to actively enough use not only music, but also vocal skills of Nata Zhyzhchenko.
Domestic price: 222.60UAH, International price: $15.90USD

Alexey Gorchitza. Neytrino. /digi-pack/


Alexey Gorchitza creates tracks, which, in spite of their dance-orientedness, require from the audience something more than just readiness to shake soft parts of their body. Presumably, it will not be a mistake to name this – intelligent dance music, which in very nice proportions combines frisky rhythms and light, flexible melodies.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Gorchitza live project. Highlights. /digi-pack/


...first, it is a frankly high-quality product – and, although now in Ukraine there is already quite a bit of high-quality electronic music, there are still more clubs, therefore the demand is only growing. Well, and secondly – however surprising, there is still not that much of club music with live vocal until now, if that is not outright waste.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Tomato Jaws. One Secret.


Tomato Jaws can be considered among the earliest explorers in this direction – virtually from the very beginning they have never been shy to sing independently. At that, both in English and in Ukrainian, Russian – and this is even more rare. Moreover, Tomato Jaws began among the first ones engaging to their sets live panpipe playing – and here, again, that is their own performance...

Tomato Jaws. Tomato Jaws.


It seems to me that it would be pleasant and would charge with energy if you even simply lie with this music. And if, for example, you insert it in your ears and walk around the city – at night or day, it does not matter, – the charge will be very powerful.

NIK_TO. The Treeson.


I hope that your walk in this world will not pass without any trace for you. Chimerical worlds – mirrors, and in them we see only our own eyes. And mostly – closed. In this album, there are a lot of mirrors, and all of them look right at you. It is the true testimony that music is talented, and it really is. Welcome – the city has become silent...

DJ Valik. 1-st Ukrainian Mixtape.


Album contains mixture of R&B, hip-hop, soul, a little trip-hop, D&B – the classic choice which creates the active relaxing atmosphere.
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Astarta. Astarta/Edwin. /digi-pack/.


Cooperation of Astarta (a side project by Eduard Prystupa) with Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree bass-player) is just an example of such quality implementation of ideas, when first you do not even try to understand what the essence is, but just listen. Listen carefully, because it is delicious.

ILLaria. 13 misyatsiv. /digi-pack/. (13 Months)


...Ukrainian authenticity is primarily the mystical energy of the earth and the complete harmony with the space. This is very powerful music! The new disc by ILLARIA is a kind of a calendar of Ukrainian music traditions. It includes cover versions of well-known folk songs based on authentic archival records.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Alibi. Folk. /digi-pack/.


...arrangements of this album very relevantly intertwine Ukrainian melodies with folk tunes of other nations. The palette is very broad – from klezmer and to gospel – and that, you know, positively impresses. Definitely – "Alibi" grows over itself, and grows in an interesting way.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Pavlo Tabakov. Rizdvo dlja dvokh. (Christmas for Two)


Careful attitude to derivative material, interesting arrangements, general saturation of the musical component with various optional but so appropriate decorations – all of that is here. And all of that makes the album "Christmas for Two", maybe, one of the best pop-albums devoted to the theme of Christmas during the several recent years.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Harmony of Nature. Summer.


...the disc combines such directions as ambient, lounge and classics. The result – orchestrated melodies accompanied by sounds of nature and modern electronic rhythms, the easy and cheerful atmosphere of leisure. Besides, all of that is also seasoned with ethnic colors – not too thickly, but pleasantly.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Ruslana. Wild Energy.


"Amazon" became the messenger of changes – though interesting but still a test of forces, reconnaissance of other territories. Now this is obvious, because "Wild Energy", in its turn, is a weighty result of those very deep quality transformations. The disc should, obviously, become the head stone in creating the image of a new Ruslana – and it has everything necessary for that. This is really another quality of music, and not only music.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Serhiy Zakharec'. Huljay, molodyy! /digi-pack/. (Make Merry, Youth!)


The project "Make Merry, Youth!" is an attempt to connect in the ethno-pop music genre reconstructed samples of folk and professional traditions of the center and east of Ukraine, use authentic music instruments, playing techniques and sound scales for their full-fledged introduction into modern youth culture. And also – to make the ear of a wide audience of listeners used to the new timbre...

Ruslana. Dyka enerhiya. (single). /slim box/. (Wild Energy)


For some time Ruslana, it seemed, had disappeared somewhere – but it has appeared that she had not. It has been revealed that she just – well, certainly – prepared a new powerful explosion on the plane of the domestic ethnic pop. Well, and now – the first robin, the first powerful explosive bullet – here you are!
Domestic price: 208.60UAH, International price: $14.90USD

Molotov 20, Marta Shpak. Osiayni. The modern treatment of traditional Ukrainian folk music. /digi-pack/. (Enlighted)


Rhythms of "Osiayni" bewitch with their soft, silent pace. Marta, in her turn, also obviously appears here not by chance. Her voice has a very interesting feature – it somehow inexplicably combines in itself the past and the future. It seems to be native – and somehow not from here.

Макс Черный кросавчег!!! а этот альбом вообще меня поразил - настолько все четко и в тему - имхо лучший из всех его. Музыка органичная и прекрасно отражает этнику Украины)))

Загалом диск складає дуже хороше враження. Цікавий, сучасний, здається написаним на одному подиху. Надзвичайно тішить той факт, що справжнє коріння таки залишається актуальним. Проте інколи, все ж, відчувається одноманітність, наче не вистачило чи то надхнення, чи то часу , чи бажання, щоб зробити його бездоганним. Але, як відомо, досконалості немає меж, тож сподіваюся, почути більш досконалу творчість, тим більше , що талант автора як то кажуть "На лицо".

Interesting mash up of beats and old folklore records. A pleasurable record. there are so many dance records out these days that it's hard to make something sound different - or interesting. While not being overly original it still manages to sound tasty. I'd give it a B with hopes of some more interesting avante-gardisms next time around.

відверто кажучи слухаю макса вперше. З цієї підбірки Hirs'ki fantaziji та Karpaty це ше те шо має якесь відношення до етнічної музики. Інше якась какофонія в якій вгадуються приглушені народні мотиви перемішані з беззмістовним попискуванням та тріском. Останнє аж ніяк (ан мою думку) не надає шарму композиціям, але іноді дратує до нестями, dj'ю теж варто мати якийсь музичний слух і знати міру...

цікаво ше Gde Trava почути, хоча перше враження вже зіпсоване

This site is pretty good but it is impossible to reach some cd sometimes. For instance I want to buy a Max Chorny CD, Gde Trava, but I haven't got yet.
