about

Note: This is a catalogue of old/unreleased work. It’s not what I am now! I believe my best and most precise release is «Sweat».

My name is Timur, I am a Ukrainian, and Russia has sent thousands and thousands of soldiers into Ukraine. Currently we are all being bombed. I have no idea what my life is going to be like tomorrow and how much longer I have, so it felt appropriate to share an archive of my 2010-2019 works, in case I never get to do that when I'm old and it's a nice remastered package.
These are sorted chronologically except where putting certain tracks next to each other would enhance the flow (parts of the same EPs etc). Most are horribly mastered. Many are boring and self-indulgent (I'm 26 now; was younger then). However, this was my life, and this is the music I made.

I urge everyone to do everything in their power to stop Russia, send support to Ukraine, sever all ties to Russian people, kick them off your festivals, cancel your collabs.

Some important information to note. We are a sovereign country, with a culture, history, language, identity and path of our own, and we have never been "brothers" to Russians. We also do not have a right-wing government or anything resembling a right-wing faction in power – our current government is actually quite liberal and we have made great progress in human rights over the past years. I am saying this, because I know Russian propaganda is calling us Nazis.

The war began in 2014 and has been a process of Ukrainian forces defending the territorial integrity of Ukraine against Russian-backed separatists, with weapons and people provided by Russia in "secret" – it was always quite obvious, but they have denied having stepped into Ukraine until this week. The so-called "people's republics" (DPR and LPR) are puppet states, established in name only when Russia saw a chance to destabilize the situation after the country-wide revolution of 2014, and could never exist without Russian weapons, money, soldiers, political support. Ukraine has not been at war with these "republics" (which are Ukrainian territories), it has been at war with Russians, who came to aid a small gang of separatists that attempted to split off two regions of Ukraine. This I am saying because I know it's not fully clear to everyone else outside of Ukraine (e.g. American twitter tankies thinking Russia is building fucking communism – it isn't).

Source: I am a Ukrainian. I've lived my whole life in Kyiv, been to Donetsk and Luhansk, and I have friends who escaped the war there only for it to follow them here.

Anyway. I hope we will all get to celebrate the end of Russia in a peaceful world, and party again. Until then, I'll try to stay safe. We will win.
I hear explosions in the street.
Death to Putin. No gods, no masters. To everyone I ever told I loved them: I meant it, and I still love you.

PS The quality isn't great on these tracks, these aren't wav files. I only had access to mp3 320 versions, and I had to convert them to wav to put them up here. I had about an hour to do all of this, I had no time to get my hard disk and find the originals, I'm sorry.
