RTSW4: Various Artists - Cold Fire
TRAKZ:
"Cold Fire" is a collection of tracks with a definite melancholic feel. It might even throw you into the warm hands of sorrow, or make you think about something fundamental, like birth of the Sun, nothingless or the futility of a mankind.. It's not a destructive fire, burns everything to ashes, just fire that warms souls of approaching apocalyptic romantics from within. Gems only, grown with insight and made for listening in imperfect world. 1) Neonicle is a new name on RT, and his debut tunes you to the dark frequencies of the whole compilation. This artist from St. Peterburg drops electro in best traditions of the well known Dutch scene - emotional, mysterious and grim but full of inner energy. Have you ever seen ghosts? Hey! what was that?! 2) Tantcui Tantcui (which means "dance dance" in Russian) is a side project of a well known 8-bit artist 777minus111 from Moscow. A minimal deviation, as he says. "Where have you been? - Nowhere. What have you been doing? - Nothing". Wicked short track, with a strange melody in it. Should be served as a set opener on a heavy drugged minimal party. Hey, was that a sound of a knife? Did you hear that?! 3) Rabitza takes us into yet another subliminal journey. This piece of art was recorded during one of their live performances and carefully mastered so you can taste the beauty of the moment. A mixture of something between electro and trance with warm melodies and acid mind programming makes you float on the wings of sound. Don't meditate too much, make sure you return soon! 4) Next is an elegant track from Mass Fatality, a project from a grandfather of russian techno scene - DJ Slon from St. Petersburg. Pulsating 808 beats fused with a simple but touching melody keeps you in the mood all the way through. It feels like you're put in a small cozy space filled with a mixture of different images and feelings. Love, anger, tenderness... choose one! 5) Acid Mikhalych, a desperate hardware freak from Moscow gives his debut appearance on the scene. Having a wide collection of retro synths and beatboxes (The legendary Roland 303, 606, 707, 909, etc) and being strongly addicted to acid, he records tracks on the fly and performs live too. "Load in progress" is a dark and scary track that programmes your mind for a trip through your subconscious fears. Get ready for the dark adventure! The wind of doom blows in your direction!!! 6) Vadz was on his way to work on a snowy and queerly silent morning on the outskirts of Taganrog, and suddenly, something began to play inside his mind. That's how this track was born. You can hear the flakes of snow scattering from above, you can smell the freshness and see the silent beauty of winter. Everything fades away, leaving just fancy mosaic images which remain to the very end. |

RTPOD3: DJ Geralda - Femme Fatale Mix
Our third episode is a ‘harder’ techno set by a wonderful girl from industrial city Perm (which stands by Ural Mountains) - DJ Geralda.
There’s a saying in Russian about woman - she can stop a horse on a run, and enter the house on fire. And this expression shows Russian women’s character quite well, both in creative and regular life. A young girl, who was performing under a name of DJ Geralda, became seriously involved into club life in 2001. DJ Geralda performed in all popular clubs of his native town, Perm, as well as in major clubs of Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities in Russia and the ‘near-abroad’ countries (Ukraine, Estonia, etc.). She took part in music festival ‘Kazantip’ in 2005-2006, and also was a headliner of numerous open-air and rave parties around Russia. A bright image and absolute DJing skills helped Geralda to charm clubbers and take a leap on the Russian scene. She is the one who has a pictorial musical style and feminine technique of performance. She says: ‘The best compliment I can receive is when people come up to me and say that I was so good at the party that they want to keep working with me’.
Have a listen to the woman’s point of veiw in this vinyl journey called ‘Femme Fatale’. Tracklist is top secret, but most of you, hard techno lovers, will recognise the tracks
PROMO: Chen & Vadz - Generation P
Remeber Vadz on Tele-15, a record called ‘Pisdez’? so, the story continues… Chen from Broken Sound, a local old-good-social-Public-Enemy-style MC and producer is busy with his new album coming out soon, and we’ve made an experement again - he gave me an acapella, i made music, and here’s a new track !! (the main refrain says ‘Pokhuy’ and could be translated to English like ‘Don’t give a f_ck’). The ’song’ is in Russian, as ‘Pisdez’ was, and it’s about young people and their social position nowadays - don’t care about anything happening around, just hanging out at parties, drinking beer, etc… And of course, lyrics has a lot of bad words, criticizing everything and everyone. Check it out & feel the youth spirit of Mother Russia.
2 vox versions are almost the same, except pitched/fx’ed vocals and a pair of different breaks, and instrumental is instrumental. A lot of common people are already getting mad of this song in Russia - it has a massive underground DJs’ support. Chen himself is putting ‘Vox 2′ on his album as a bonus - will be out by autumn. And if anyone of you want any of those 3 in hi-q - just drop a request in comments.
