From the label line launched by the Kyiv-based party collective, a solo release by local artist ID_UA—who also appeared on the sampler—is out now! Kicking things off is “Idee Fixe” (sample 1), a seductive, moody, and trance-like alternative house track laced with hypnotic acid chains; followed by “Neighbours” (sample 2), an EBM innovation blending a barrage of processed, choppy vocal hooks with ethnic-inspired percussive drums; and finally “What Do You Say” (sample3), which drastically slows the tempo and sinks the floor deep with a viscous, sustained bass synth. Featuring alluring, dark chords, a psychedelic mood that seems to settle in, and awakening synth designs, this is an alternative “slow house” and trance masterpiece. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
