The amalgamation of epochs through the lens of artistic expression forms the bedrock of the latest EP from Kyiv-born artist, Lostlojic. Monuments erected by unidentified sculptors, scattered across Ukraine and Europe, stand as silent testaments to their creators, who have left behind little information about themselves. The distant future holds the same air of mystery, its unpredictability both awe-inspiring and daunting. It serves as a constant reminder of our need to seize the present, to create in the here and now, and leave behind a legacy of beauty that will be appreciated for millennia to come.
Drawing inspiration from the city of Kyiv and its denizens, this potent fusion of electro, bass, and techno hurtles forward at a pace ranging from 140 to 160 bpm, saturating the soundscape with a cultural code. This is achieved through terabytes of references to cinema, poetry, and history. Plus a breakbeat remix of 'Zroby Sebe Sam' from Ukrainian electro legend - Sider.
Let these tracks echo the spirit of Ukrainians, capturing their ability to celebrate life amidst their homeland's turmoil. Play these tracks amidst friends, and consider supporting the release. All proceeds will be dedicated to supporting Ukraine in these challenging times.
