Ivan Dorn. Randorn. /premium, digi-pack/.
The album's title is clear: Randorn is even visually similar to Random (by the way, on the cover – we believe, it was done intentionally – the order of tracks is messed up). On the one hand, there was a lot of operational material, but only 16 tracks were left – and the selection, presumably, included "inspired random choices." On the other – within an hour, Dorn & Co. offer a trip through a bunch of styles from funk, soul, trip-hop, synth-pop to new disco and even rap – not to mention hints, references, and variations seasoned with (self)irony. There is only one restriction: that's what they really like. The sequence hardly matters, and the mosaic and discrete forms are different things. This turns out to be a motley, diverse, but – holistic and bright album. The word that comes to mind is "relevant" – because it at the same time is not binding, but explanatory. However, it is difficult to explain magic – and there is some of it, and one does not need to be an apologist of relevance to feel it. Ivan Dorn and his friends produce true pop music – lightweight, smart, eclectic, and specific. Young. With genuine charm. Cool, nothing to say...

Premium edition, a digi-pack in a perforated cardboard slipcase.

KAZKA. Karma. /digi-pack/.


..the debut album by KAZKA is finally officially released on physical media. The release is of high quality, it's nice to keep it in your hands – well, and the fact that the album as such is worth paying attention to is obvious: in 2017, the project was one of the brightest debutants of the Ukrainian pop scene, and when the album was presented, it was already listened to far beyond Ukraine.

Tina Karol. Intonatsii. /mini-pack/. (Intonations)


This album is a response to expectations of everyone who realized that Tina Karol was capable of much more than what she had so far demonstrated. Stuff of that kind was something that not only Tina, but the entire Ukrainian "first echelon pop scene" missed. A test (for herself and her habitual audience), a pilot..

Rozhden. R2. /eco-pack/.


There is no provocation, aggression – the man is just doing his job the way he likes. Braided in an intersection of several styles, his music attracts attention, above all, precisely with this – no pretending and calm confidence. Lyrically, unobtrusively, transparently to a degree..
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Alloise. Bygone. /digi-pack/.


This album has become the first solo work by Alloise after she left Gorchitza live project. As a result, it turns out adequately light and gentle, vigorous without tension, dense – and, so to say, cultured. Advanced lyrical music equally appropriate in a club, and on the scene of a large open-air.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

ONUKA. Onuka. /digi-pack/.


In music – as elsewhere – there are revolutionary and evolutionary steps. But in fact the line is not on the "r", but – on the implementation quality. The project "Onuka" in general, and the album "Onuka" in particular – are exactly about the implementation quality...

Kazaky. The Hills Chronicles. /digi-pack/.


"Kazaky" have preferred the English language and not the pop but rather the club style. Perhaps, their successful collaboration with Madonna played a role in this (shooting in the clip for the song "Girl Gone Wild") – anyway, "the guys on high heels" are clearly aimed at the "fashionable" audience...

Kazaky. I Like It. Part II. /digi-pack/.


In fact, "Kazaky" became famous as a dance project – they even inspired a whole wave of imitations and copies of their style and the scenic image. But in this case we are talking about a music album – no video bonuses, just music. The publisher identifies it as IDM – we think, rightly so.

Kazaky. I Like It. Part I. /digi-pack/.


..Right, this is dance music – house, synthpop, electronica – soft enough to not stun, but quite cheerful to still be called dance and to feel good, say, in the atmosphere of clubbing.

Gorchitza live project. It's You.


Gorchitza live project very quickly became popular among stylish electronics fans – the ability to bring into dance music elements of rock, funk, etc, and at that to stay in the very light, transparent flow.

Assia Akhat. I like it... /digi-pack/


This music is more sharp-edged than, say, new-age, it contains more rhythmic patterns. But, at the same time, it is softer and slower than techno, it is put on a transparent, weightless basis. Well, and sounding of the violin adds, sure, pleasant tints.

A la Ru. to be.


Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

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.

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.

AbaNDa SHAKE. Shake.


Their songs already long ago started being interesting for Europeans, they feel well in the USA, resonate in the Internet community – one could only be jealous. Look: on MySpace portal, this project took the 2nd rate in the world song competition conducted there, and Natalie Dali also won in a competition for the title of Miss MySpace USA in December 2009.

Airport. Come back.


"Vintage" fashion has not gone round electronic pastures, this has long been clear. Well, and if one takes lounge – as it is in this style that the debut album by the group "Airport" is recorded – here vintage even looks absolutely natural. And, possibly, it is exactly due to this that music of the album acquires some additional soft depth, expressivenesses.

The Hardkiss. The Best. /digi-pack/.


So, The Hardkiss have celebrated their first anniversary with a release of not only the fourth studio album, but also the first collection of the best songs. And the collection turns out to be representative, but there is something else that matters..
Domestic price: 278.60UAH, International price: $19.90USD

The Hardkiss. Akustyka. /premium, eco-pack/. (Acoustic)


The ACOUSTIC program did not still become a full-fledged unplugged. The concert was also complemented by a group of strings, winds, percussion – in short, the sound turns out somewhat unexpected and very rich, the arrangements could not remain unchanged either. The habitual drive has not disappeared, though, it has shifted to a slightly different plane.

the Maneken. Sale%. /premium, eco-pack/.


Given the amount of work that Filatov is doing for a number of other performers, it is even surprising that he has enough energy and inspiration for his own project. However – he has enough. Enough energy, and imagination, and taste. Always in motion, in the process of development, always better than before – or, at least, different. The new album is an excellent illustration of this vector.

The Hardkiss. Perfection Is a Lie. /premium, eco-pack/.


..Even in the ballads – this inner power cannot be hidden, it can be perceived almost physically. Perfection is a lie, of course – but nobody forbids strive and work for it. The Hardkiss is obviously one of those who aspire and work hard.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Alloise. Episodes. /digi-pack/.


Sure, "Episodes" is pop music, but it is also sure to be intelligent pop-music, multi-layered, and interesting. That lives somewhere on the edge – and thus it is capable of transforming its audience. If you wish, dark pop. The promise of taking through the darkness and bringing into something new – it is there.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

Jamala. Podykh. /digi-pack/. (Breath)


..It is amazing – how this voice is revealed in the thirteen steps of the quiet power. "Breath" is a soft and strong, weightless and confident, fragrant and unobtrusive album. Cool.
Domestic price: 348.60UAH, International price: $24.90USD

The Hardkiss. Stones and Honey. (re-edition). /digi-pack/.


..it is clear this was a considerable piece of work – but it is the "work" that you actually don't hear. One can hear – clear energy, passion, and the ability to present simple lines in a truly delicious way. However, not all the arrangements are that straightforward and, given the "lightness" of the genre, this approach especially pleases.
Domestic price: 306.60UAH, International price: $21.90USD

Alex Nademski, ILLaria. Podykh. /digi-pack/. (Breath)


It is Alex Nademski who is the author of the project – and, in particular, of all the lyrics and the music (although he says he only recorded what came to him). ILLaria is a "guest star," the voice. Still, when one listens, it's hard to say whose role is the leading one – the both worked at their full capacity, that's sure.

Green Grey. Glaz leoparda. /digi-pack/. (The Leopard's Eye)


Green Grey decided not to abandon the combination of electronic music with rock aesthetics – though, now there is somehow more of the latter, so one can hardly attribute this music to the light one. The elements of dubstep and hardcore are far not the only ones in this puzzle...
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Dazzle Dreams. Diva. /digi-pack/.


..this is a step towards club music that is absolutely able to live outside of clubs – an attempt to hint at something more meaningful than just mysterious entourage. An attempt is successful – there is the style, there is the taste. Finally, the new album to some extent may be considered as a return to aesthetics of the first album...
Domestic price: 236.60UAH, International price: $16.90USD

the Maneken. Soulmate Sublime. /digi-pack/.


The Maneken is a unique artist who works in one of the most trendy areas of the contemporary music – the electronic rock. Using music styles as "clothes" for decoration of his music ideas, he has created several unique "collections", which have its fans not only in CIS countries, but also in Europe and the USA.

Dazzle Dreams. (Go! Go! Go!) Disco killers.


...the second album by Dazzle Dreams is a bright experiment in the domain of dance music. Because, honestly speaking, this dance music can be considered rather highbrow one – at all events, the desire to move often yields to the desire to just listen attentively. However, it surprisingly does not reduce the general drive charge of the album – simply shifts it to some other, not so habitual plane.

Andrey Kiritchenko, Saralunden. There was no end. (EP).


Just an ideal balance between affability to the listener and self-absorbed contemplation. Conditionally, a sort of semi-acoustic, minimalist trip-hop. But far not any trip-hop would afford so much fresh, transparent air in sounding as here.
Domestic price: 250.60UAH, International price: $17.90USD

Ivan Samshit. Essential Shit. /digi-pack/


Electronic romances, dances full of sense, transcendental lyrics of clearances between worlds, enchanted and warm immersion in evening snow... Ivan Samshit – strange knights of the transparent autumn of urban stones. Sometimes it seems that the very enigma of the night before the dawn speaks to us through the voice of Petro Dain...

Nikita. ChamelEon.


She as though plays, but so sincerely as only children can – she does not pretend but really lives in it. And that is why – you trust it. Such discs are as if clothes of a Transparent Gipsy. Now beautiful – and then just fanciful. Made of a thousand shreds, each of them having its own story...

Luk. Sex.


In this music, there is something of photosynthesis – it also converts sun energy into force and joy of growth and oxygen for friends and other neighbors. With it, everything happens simply and easily – the morning, walk, work and avoiding work, kiss and the first pot of tea, night on the balcony and snow...
Domestic price: 320.60UAH, International price: $22.90USD

Luk. Tourist Zone.


Eccentricities, sure, differ. This one is entirely positive. Though, sometimes there is a temporary confidence that "Luk" creates music that stays somewhat aloof from our reality. But it does not prevent it from smiling – and our reality starts smiling back...
