Psychedelic utopia: Ukraine

Psychedelic music is a breath of freedom and harmony. It seeks its habitat by itself and it showed up in Ukraine in the mid 90-s; however the country stayed behind the international scene for quite a long time. Back in 1996 Sergey Tovstoluzhsky (RIP), also known as DJ Yehuanah, was the first DJ who started to play psychedelic trance in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. He introduced this music to DJ Pubert who became the first successful Ukrainian psy party organizer. In cooperation with DJ Tolya, Pubert promoted psytrance in the radio project ‘Misyachni Trombony’ (‘Lunar Trombones’) on a Kyiv’s local radio station. In the same time the first psy events began to pop up in Kyiv and with time psychedelic rhythms rushed to the south – via Odesa to the magical Crimea peninsula. Besides, in the year 2000 the second fully psytrance oriented fm radio project ‘Ohm…’ was founded in Odesa by SOAP SS.

Nowadays the main trance events still lay on the same axis: Kyiv – Odesa - Crimea. Of course, psychedelic parties are constantly organized in other places all over the country and even average cities have their promo groups. All of them do their best to bring magical, unique atmosphere to each event, and that’s what Ukrainian parties are known for. Friendly relations between promos help them to unite and make bigger gigs together. During the last decade Ukraine saw such artists as Atriohm, Blisargon Demogorgon, Digital Talk, Encephalopaticys, Haltya, Hyper Frequencies, Infected Mushroom, Jelly Heads, Ocelot, Para Halu, Skazi, Space Buddha, Spindrift, Troll Scientists, X-Dream and many others . The leading promos are Semi-Conductors, Psyshine, Moon Koradji, Cube Group, Clocktail Monks, Japanamatic Pro, Kinetic Society, Psy Quest, Euphoria.

There are several festivals that are held by Ukrainian promoters. The biggest one is Sky Gravity, a massive event on the Black Sea cost in Crimea, which has been gathering artists from all over the globe and up to 1000 people every year. The festival has its own label and annual compilation; its second volume is distributed world-wide by Wirikuta. Crimean territory is the real heaven for party promoters. Owing to its landscapes varying from beautiful mountains through magic forests to large beaches and wild nature, Russian promos also make parties and festivals there: e.g. Space of Joy, Liquid Beach, Udiva. All of these events are held in cooperation with Ukrainian promoters.

There are 2 active labels that are working in psychedelic directions nowadays: Skygravity and Sentimony Records; both are quite young but ambitious.

The cluster that forms Ukrainian psychedelic scene is growing fast in chorus with the quality of its production. The artists’ work results in releases they get on a variety of labels abroad. And surely each band feels proud to have its track released by Ukrainian labels. To date, the most successful projects are SynSun (Phonokol), Overdream (Avatar), Already Maged (Tantrumm), Saikozaurus (Zaikadelic), Shivaz, Zymozis, Kadasarva, Sphingida, Harax and lots of others.

Ukrainian scene got huge luck with info and web support from Alienatix, a man who founded a web portal Psyshine.org.ua and gathered trancers there. Its forum became the Ukrainian analog of Isratrance.com; here you can find all needed data on the upcoming parties, releases, get flyers or just stay up to date checking the news.

It can be assumed that Ukrainian psychedelic culture still has the underground format. It means that the events gather the right people in the right places; and Ukrainian hospitality, friendliness and true love for the music is something that makes the culture and atmosphere so unique. Utopia? No. But close to it.
