Cxema is a hard and hypnotic techno night started by Slava Lepsheev in Kiev. As i-D delves deeper into the city’s burgeoning scene, get to know the sounds of Cxema in this exclusive mix from Slava himself.
“In this mix I tried not to recreate the atmosphere of some of the parties, but to transfer the Cxema mood in general. Inside you’ll find ambient, house and techno of the 90-00s, Ukrainian musicians’ tracks, as well as tracks from modern foreign producers which I would like to see on future Cxema’s line-ups. I should add, there are not really any serious techno tracks like Ostgut Ton’s stuff, though they could be heard at our first parties. We are always looking for a more independent sound for Cxema that questions the status quo of the contemporary techno scene that it claims.”
