Radio On’s friendship with Dmytro started in the winter of 2013-2014. In a weekly series of skype connections we listened to his reports from the Maidan uprising. Those events turned out to be decisive in the further development of Ukraine as an independent state. Russia didn’t agree with the new government. The war in Donbass,… Continue reading Radio On Berlin with Dmytro Fedorenko
NEWS & UPDATES
A new interview with Variát from the Chain D.L.K. zine
“… This project sees the imprint of a newly founded label Prostir and blends dissonances, corroded and corrosive sounds forged by hammered toms, drilled cymbals, metallic objects hit like percussion, and over-amplified combined with sparkles of synth-driven pierced modulations and even hooks to folk songs. Let’s give the word to its author.”

GROOVE magazine reviewed Cluster Lizard’s “Star Corsair”
Cluster Lizard, Berliner Duo der Ukrainer Dmytro Fedorenko and Kateryna Zavoloka, beziehen sich in ihrer Interpretation und Ausformung eines experimentellen Beinahe-Club-Post-Technos auf Star Corsair (Prostir) auf das gleichnamige Science-Fiction-Werk des ukrainischen Autors und Menschenrechtsaktivisten Oles Berdnyk.

Backseat Mafia reviewed Cluster Lizard’s “Star Corsair”
Deep and dark electronica. One could imagine the production of Star Corsair evolving in a room full of huge modular synths, lights pulsing while two dark figures loom over the machines, pressings keys and turning dials. A wonderful ambient bed of sounds shimmering over drifting melodies and synthetic beats. As an immersive listening experience, Cluster… Continue reading Backseat Mafia reviewed Cluster Lizard’s “Star Corsair”
Yellow Green Red reaction to Variát
Perfect for the autumnal season, here comes the Ukrainian artist Dmytro Fedorenko and his Variát project. It’s kinda like dungeon-synth without the synth, if that makes sense? In place of any obvious keyboards comes bass guitar in an extremely heavyweight form, often bristling at the edges with digital distortion and speakers vibrating beyond their capacity.… Continue reading Yellow Green Red reaction to Variát

A short review on VARIÁT from the Silence And Sound:
“VARIÁT builds industrial architectures ready to collapse in the gaping holes opened by metal monsters playing post-metal fueled by gothic folk and cabalistic experimentation. An intense and dark album.” https://silenceandsound.me/2021/10/26/variat/
