These tracks were collecting dust on my HDD for a couple of years. I'm releasing them as is. They're not "finished", don't expect a great mixdown or mastering. They are just raw demos, not pretending to be masterpieces. Despite all this, this is quite important and personal release for me.

I wrote tracks 1-3 during the blackouts of winter of 2022-23, when russia damaged Ukrainian energy infrastructure and the whole country was living on a tight schedule—having access to electricity for only a couple of hours a day, just enough to charge the gadgets and power banks. I'm a hardware guy, and I like to use hardware synths in my recordings, but, obviously, I didn't have a chance to use them without electricity. So these tracks were produced fully "in the box" on my laptop while the battery lasted. I also don't usually like to limit myself with genres, but here I decided I'm gonna try to fit the dub-techno frame. So, all this became kind of a getaway and an exercise in production.

Tracks 4 and 5 are from a different "session". I wrote them during the first months of russian invasion of 2022. I was away from my Kyiv home, and while taking shelter in the underground parking lot during long air raid alerts, I decided to keep myself distracted by making music on my phone. The results are these two tracks: one dubstep-like and another harsher experimental techno style.
