Aliana

Ukrainian artist Aliana has been making her way in the underground music sphere since 2015 and with her cutting her teeth by way of her own MUZA collective she has more than her share of experiences. Kyiv lays claim to the lion’s share of the top clubs but her own hometown Lviv has given her the platform to really grow as an artist.

From releases on esteemed labels such as Finest Hour Records, Variable Records, Small Hours and as one half of Midibasics her sound palette ranges from squelchy acid to rich, lush soundscapes and everywhere in between. We welcome Aliana to our InSession series and from the outset her sights are set firmly on making you move. Peak time beats, cosmic zaps, undulating basslines and trippy vocals all combine to provide just the right amount of bump to this future retro ride.

Tripmastaz pres. Duct Tape Project

Despite the hot summer and the arid waterways all over the world, the FUTURΣWAVES return to flow with Russian-born DJ, producer, and relentless studio head Tripmastaz. Four years in the making, Duct Tape Project is the new brainchild of Tripmastaz in the realms of trip-hop and downtempo. And it’s a project that makes perfect sense to anyone familiar with Andrei’s background (making Hip-Hop beats since his teenage years), musical capabilities and decades-long experience. Duct Tape Project joins Andrei with a troupe of stellar musicians not only from many different corners of the world but also from acutely distinct genres – Guti, Argenis Brito, Mad Dim, Denis Kaznacheev, Krussia, Damien Vandesande of DOP, Sarkis Ricci, Andrey Orenstein, and vocals by Inga.

Featuring all sorts of live instruments, drum machines, synthesizers and modular systems, Duct Tape Project brings forward a complex work brimming with musicality, creating a vibrant and fascinating ecosystem with enough sonic texture to leave one captivated, enraptured and lost at the edge of words.

This mix was recorded live at Eshk Record Store and Hair Saloon in Berlin.

The double LP is available on the main run of regular black vinyl and two limited editions of 30 copies on splatter vinyl and blue marble vinyl. Exquisitely mastered at Tripmastering and distributed worldwide by another.round, the new sub-division of BRT Distribution.
