b'Only vinyl mix with many Ukrainian releases from Kyiv-based DJ and producer Yevgeniy @joss who belongs to a privileged circle of artists to have enormously influenced the development of Ukrainian electronic scene and to have raised its quality bar high throughout the last 10 years. Joss has achieved it particularly due to his firm beliefs and creative creed: high-quality sound and vinyl sets only!\\nJoss has turned his passion for wax into his own international brand \\u2014 @artreform, a label specializing in vinyl editions. Four years later today, Artreform can boast more 35 vinyl releases in its catalog. The imprint has put out original titles by Joss himself, which repeatedly performed amazingly well in the Decks and Juno charts, as well as the singles from a number of globally recognized artists ranging from @scsi-9 and @robotneedsoilmsuic up to @bennoblome, Frank Lober, @djebali, @rhadow and @io-mulen. \\nWhether he is packing his DJ bag with records for a forthcoming set or checking out fresh demo submissions for @artreform, @joss always relies upon and trusts his already well-recognized taste. His sets and original productions are constantly dominated by highly energetic tech house, classic house with emphasize on the \\u2018deep\\u2019 variety, and some quite ingenious, adventurous techno.\\nHaving opted for \\u2018grown up\\u2019 dance music, @joss distinctly realizes all the responsibility he commits to: personally and creatively. Nowadays the eponymous Artreform Studio offers producers a wide range of analog synthesizers and advanced gear to extract the most extraordinary and distinctive sound possible. One of the best recording studios around Kyiv, Artreform is at the core of building a strong community of artists and musicians from the Ukrainian capital, a city undoubtedly rich in talents.\\nThe recent bright episodes of Joss\\u2019s career are a split release with the German producer Benno Blome out on the latter\\u2019s label, @sender-records, and a successful run of releases on his very own imprint, @artreform. The best performer of the batch has appeared to be a release by SCSI-9 from Russia. To promote this release, @joss and SCSI-9\\u2019s member @anton-kubikov organized a series of showcases at a number of venues, including Kyiv club Port and Moscow\\u2019s Gazgolder.\\nStay Rave with #R13!\\n\\nTracklist:\\n01 Red Meat Therapy - Little Morning Story\\n02 Federico Molinari - Xilo Fun /La Clap/\\n03 Luc Ringeisen - Utopie /Vision Quest/\\n04 Dj Honesty & Daniel Paul - Express To Mafra /Cabinet/\\n05 White Leaf - Plein DAmour /All Day I Dream/\\n06 Brudan - In Leeds (DUB) /Cabinet/\\n07 Rhadow - Molecular Cloud (Djebali remix) /Artreform/\\n08 Jerelo 002 /Jerelo/\\n09 IO (Mulen) - At Seventeen /Berg Audio/\\n10 Joss - She Is A Driver /Artreform/\\n11 VincentIulian - Retras /Contemporan/\\n12 Defaultman & Sapurra - Paperman /Pokerflat/\\n13 Fr!sky Buziness - Gray Goo Romance /Hoarder/\\n14 Franco Cinelli - Consequences /Ram Musik/\\n15 Traumer - Exercise /Gettraum/\\n16 Nolga - 0137 (Silat Beksi remix) /Pathway Traxx/\\n17 Steve O\\u2019sullivan - Never Back /Aku/\\n18 Unknown Artist - Creature 004 /White Label/\\n19 Marc Brauner - All I Dream /Houseum Records/'
