Actually, disco could sound like this if it were given to a DJ who has already been sweating for two or three hours at the rack but has not yet lost the ability and inclination to experiment. That is why quite organically Arabic and African percussions and Jamaican rhythms, as well as "black" reciting and the "submarine" atmosphere are intertwined into the general canvas – for this is lounge, and diversified one.

...the group "AntytilA" has already had time to obtain quite extensive popularity in Ukraine. Especially, sure, – among young people, and it is easy to understand. The thing here is not only the predominantly easy, lyric texts. And not only that zeal that practically any fresh music has, regardless of its quality. It seems that it is quality that the group regards attentively...

Here, there is simplicity that has nothing in common with primitivism. Here, there is young but not blind energy – and it makes significant, purposeful steps. And you, the listener, walk hand in hand with it. Because there is accuracy of music solutions – and it means that you at once notice what you are listening to.

Boombox is one of those groups, which have their own appearance from the very beginning. Therefore, they spend their time not to create some unique style, but to find new colours. And every time these colours get more and more intense – the proof is in front of your eyes.

The third full-format album by Boombox group has all chances to appear the group's best one for today at the same time – at least, such feeling appears already from the first seconds. And that is logical – always sticking to, on the whole, the same stylistics, with every new step the group perfects quality of the material. Or let us say otherwise: Boombox tries to grow not wide but high above itself...

Briefly, it is possible to say that the new album by Maria Burmaka is an example of the high-quality and, if you wish, intelligent modern Ukrainian pop-music as it might be. Nothing to say, it is good when not only an album has its own face, but – every song in it.

Songs by the group "Vpershe Chuyu", in spite of a serious temptation, can hardly be said to be completely frivolous. Instead, they contain – original, relaxed ease of a special sort. Such ease naturally proceeds from a smiling, easy-going dispositions – from the ability to look at the world as at a reflection in the eyes of a strange dreamer, as at smoke from a pipe smoked by the Blue Caterpillar..

The group says about itself that in the search for its own style it arrived at funk with jazz – and afterwards added into the mixture blues, Brazilian and Hutsul ethno, and not only that. The search continues, windows are open. Suggestions are being accepted. In the end, it is really so – here, it is possible to hear a mixture of "everything with everything", but the mixture is sustained, not aimless eclecticism.

The project, actually, appeared as far back as a few years ago – but it is lately that the concept has completed its final transformations, reincarnations, and now it is already somewhat new music. Not only in relation to itself, but also in relation to modern Ukrainian music in general – it seems that Dazzle Dreams are currently the only ones in Ukraine who play synthi-pop but with expressive, bright elements of ethno-lounge.

...the second album by Dazzle Dreams is a bright experiment in the domain of dance music. Because, honestly speaking, this dance music can be considered rather highbrow one – at all events, the desire to move often yields to the desire to just listen attentively. However, it surprisingly does not reduce the general drive charge of the album – simply shifts it to some other, not so habitual plane.

It seems that here, this has finally happened – that maturing that was ripening in the previous albums by the group.

"You Are a Dream" is already the second Ukrainian-language album by the group, and not long ago you could find the first one – "Symphony" – with us as well. Ephyra continues keeping its style, namely – playing strong, melodious music on the verge of pop-, hard- and sympho-rock. These songs are too harmonious to destroy anything – but also too serious to just be background music.

It is pleasant that one step ahead was made with arrangements – "Light and Shade" sounds more voluminous, expressive, diverse. It is pleasant that Philharmonic Orchestra can be heard in the majority of the songs – and it is pleasant that this is not the only sparkle in the album. Music of the project is more and more tending to rock sounding – but remains light. And no doubt – its sounding brings pleasure.

And the internal – if you listen to the texts – these are songs by the people who do not lack irony both in their attitude to the world around and in their attitude to themselves.

One should only give an attentive ear to the texts, and under the clothes of hooliganism, you will find not verbal tricks, but live reflections.
