New Voices Ukraine: Memory Leaks III – The 1990s Ukrainian Underground in Bloom

In the third episode of our collaboration with Kyiv's 20ft Radio, we're guided into the wonderful sounds of the fertile Ukrainian Underground of the 1990s

In the third episode of Memory Leaks, we’re moving deeper into the 1990s and the evolution of underground sound from rock to electronic. Our guide this time is Oleksii Dehtiar aka Maket, the frontman of the cult band Ivanov Down, one of the most uncompromising acts of the 1990s Kyiv scene. Oleksii will break down Ivanov Down’s many incarnations, reminisce about the first Ukrainian raves and share his views on the music-making technologies of today.
