Ukrainian drum & bass legend Sunchase releases Timeline, his first album in ten years
Out now on new Kyiv-based label Kashtan Records, the LP is Alexander Pavlenko’s first since his debut, Static Nitro, in 2010. Spanning 13 tracks, it nods to drum & bass, IDM and dubstep.
“In 2010 I moved from Dnipro to Kyiv, which undoubtedly influenced the sound of this album,” Pavlenko says. “I often used a dictaphone to record kalimba, percussion, voices and more, taking inspiration from nature and its beauty, or the weather. Timeline is an album of moods and a musical reflection of a period of my life.”
Pavlenko began releasing music as Sunchase in 2004. Over the years, he has worked with legendary drum & bass labels such as Moving Shadow, Metalheadz and Hospital Records offshoot Med School.
Kashtan is the new label from Vera Logdanidi, cofounder of the Kyiv party and label Rhythm Büro.
