FUSELab presents 6th Passage full-length album - "Save Our Sounds " by Ukrainian music band VS. 9 unique tracks, filled with the spirit of experimental electronica and ghetto-futurism, deep structures and psychedelic atmosphere in best traditions of urban dub.
VS best known as VzyalSoundSystem is a Kiev-based Ukrainian electronic unit formed in early 2000 by "dub addicted" SKP Records head and sound producer Serge Dubrovsky aka Dubmasta and Eugene Stolbow known as iBad, sophisticated vinyl connoisseur, sound producer and synths collector. Inspired by Jamaican roots music and dub science the band produced 5 studio albums and a bunch of EP’s, mixtapes and bootlegs. They keep performing and DJing as also regularly participate in various international collaborations and remixing projects. VS is a kind of aerial ambience featuring trippy echoes and delays mixed with eclectic beats and glitchy samples from deserted suburbs, if you ask about sounding.
"Save Our Sounds" album was recorded using mostly analogue equipment mixed with loads of enviromental recordings and rich natural sonic textures. This album also features some additional production by Ukrainian electronic scene veterans Alexey Mikryukov aka King Imagine, Aleksandr Kohanovsky aka Pankifared, Aleksandr Vasiliev aka KLP52142 & Kirill Machinsky aka Roots Controlla.

Juno Plus Podcast 11 - Vakula

Juno Plus Podcast 11 - Vakula
http://soundcloud.com/vakula
http://www.discogs.com/artist/Vakula

This week Ukrainian producer extraordinaire Vakula takes the reins for an hour long mix consisting entirely of his own productions - many of which can be heard here for the very first time.

The name Vakula was first mentioned breathlessly at Juno Plus HQ in mid 2010 - yes we slept on the Uzuri release - following his appearance on Firecracker's highly collectible EP series. It was the first time the imprint had reached outside its tight knit family of Scottish producers, and it sparked a relentless procession of releases for the likes of Dekmantel, 3rd Strike, Best Works, and, most recently, Firecracker's Unthank sub-label.

We now regard Vakula as our favourite Ukrainian since Mila Kunis, and his Juno Plus mix showcases the full breadth of his production nous, from glorious stuttering piano lines to bubbling acid and Detroit style chord movements.

Tracklist:
1. Steve Reich ­ 2×5: Movement 3 Fast (Vakula remix) (white label)
2. Fudge Fingas – Mass X (Vakula dub mix) (forthcoming on Firecracker Recordings)
3. Vakula – Picture Of You (Dekmantel)
4. Vakula – Music (Dekmantel)
5. Vakula – Acid Release (Dekmantel)
6. Vakula – Johnny (Dekmantel)
7. Vakula – Track 3 (Unthank)
8. Vakula – Sso (forthcoming on Firecracker Recordings)
9. Vakula – JLady (forthcoming on White Leleka)
10. Vakula – Dub As Always (unreleased)
11. Vakula – No Name (unreleased)
12. Vakula – Only Deep (unreleased)
13. Vakula – N (forthcoming on Firecracker Recordings)

Andrea Suglia from Rohs! Records:

“The whole album is a trip to remote places of the earth, the atmosphere you create will be dreamlike, at the borders of reality. The use of synth-pad and synth-chord is perfect and consistent with the canons of the genre ambient/dub-techno.

I really liked how you managed to merge in some tracks the groove from the techno with the sounds deeper.

In particular, my favorite tracks are: “Landscapes”, “Monday morning” and “depth to get yourself”.

Finally, the remixes are also consistent with the whole concept of the album.

Have you been good at not falling into the usual fees that the genre has, I did not hear the same and repetitive sounds.

Tracklist:
1 Fresh Air
2 Frame Of Mind
3 Monday Morning
4 Fragments Of The Past
5 Landscapes
6 Get Depth To Yourself
7 Rain Drop
8 Epik Space
9 Monday Morning (Vidasm Remix)
Remix – Vidasm
10 Get Depth To Yourself (Giriu Dvasios Remix)
Remix – Giriu Dvasios
11 Get Depth To Yourself (Slownoise Remix)
