Hello, the west is getting hysterical over what it thusfar considered it's own perogative..ignore official borders. I have to say i've found the propaganda coming from the media eye opening, these socalled journalists are payed clowns in service of the elite that have decided they want Ukraine's fertile fields at their disposal. So what happens next well first US are having a laugh as they watch Europe having to shoot themselves in the foot with their measures against Russia, Russia will grumble but but shrug it off -they've gone thru much worse. Meanwhile the secret ! tradetalks between US and EU continue which defacto will create multinational heaven and fuck joe public..hence the secrecy, if the media reported on it there would be an outcry. But as mentioned earlier the media are completely controlled and are only allowed to report on distractions-like that missing plane. Or the fact that the F1 season started again this weekend. Initially predictions were that not many cars would reach the finish but thusfar things went rather smooth, specially for Mercedes which has planned a worldtitle this year. Hamilton and Rosberg should prepare for plenty of champagne. That said i don't think Red Bull will move over just like that, and with that silly rule that the final race gets double points Vettel can concentrate on the second part of the season.


With the means to create and distribute music having been 'democratized' this last decade a guy from Kiev made his move to break free from anonimity. 3 years of activity saw the release of 9 hi quality glich, ambient, modern classical albums by what only can be called an inspired young artist , a prodigy who deserves much more exposure. Treat yourselves again.......... N'Joy

Andriy Symonovych (aka Ruga Roo) is a 21 years young musician from Kyiv, Ukraine. Eight years of musical classes made him totally devoted to piano melodies and ignited a desire to show this beauty to all the hearing ones. In his early teens he was in a local symphony-metal band, where he improved his playing skills and also he was also sampling by that time. Later on, he started his first solo project “Lie Collectors” – a reflection of his own thoughts about the world and the human’s place in it. This project is aimed more to live shows although there’s one album released with this project.

As Ruga Roo‘s interest in electronic music kept growing he couldn’t escape from the reality that he needed a new project so in May 2010 he started producing IDM/Ambient with his friend Sitreus under the name of “Sound Wave Pressure” where he takes part in writing melodies and sampling drums. This project is quite popular in Ukraine and there are many parties & places where they do live-performances.

In Fall of 2010 the r.roo project started to breathe as it was about time for Rugaroo to experiment with new sounds within this very deep atmospheric world of IDM. His first album First Row was released on Subwise netlabel late 2010. This emerging young talent has proved his skills for combining beauty and beats with clever sound experimentation through his 5 releases in less than two years. With eight years of formal musical training, r.roo became completely devoted to composing intricate piano melodies and ultimately ignited his desire to share his gift with listeners. His first project Lie Collectors was a reflection of his own thoughts about the world and human being’s place in it.

While first co-founding the netlabel Someone Records in 2011, r.roo showed his abundant consistency for hatching engaging electronic music by unleashing 4 releases on 4 seperate labels throughout the year. While quickly gaining recognition and momentum in the dark IDM scene, r.roo released his fourth full-length album on Abstrakt Reflections in early 2012.

In 2012 the prolific r.roo finally crossed the Tympanik threshold with his new work titled ‘mgnovenie‘. With equal focus on atmosphere and beats, r.roo creates a definitive sound that grips and pulls on the unsuspecting listener. Shadowed in soulful piano movements, twitches of violin, random static and strange radio voices, accented perfectly by crushing beats and a meticulous stitching of glitchy misfires, ‘mgnovenie’ (translated as “The Moment”) proves itself as the ideal soundtrack for intentional mental defections.

His latest album ‘innerheaven‘ was released on Tympanik Audio October 16th, 2013. 14 new tracks on 4-panel digipak CD and digital formats featuring artwork by Salt. And if that wasn't enough it came with a brilliant digital bonus album Hydref. Meanwhile he managed to remix others evidence of this was released earlier this year, Otherwhere. Three years of activity saw the release of 9 hi quality glich, ambient, modern classical albums by what only can be called an inspired young artist , a prodigy who deserves much more exposure. Treat yourselves.....

After 4 albums, an EP, several remixing, collaboration, and compilation appearances in just under two years, the prolific r.roo finally crosses the Tympanik threshold with his finest work yet: his new album titled ‘mgnovenie‘.

 With equal focus on atmosphere and beats, r.roo creates a definitive sound that grips and pulls on the unsuspecting listener. Shadowed in soulful piano movements, twitches of violin, random static and strange radio voices, accented perfectly by crushing beats and a meticulous stitching of glitchy misfires, ‘mgnovenie’ (translated as “The Moment”) proves itself as the ideal soundtrack for intentional mental defections.
The album is a marvelous interplay of atmospheres they grips you and carried you to the limit. The album is an extraordinary composition of beats, random static, sometimes sad melodies, but also hopeful soundscapes. Everything fits together perfectly." - Nothing But Hope And Passion.  Let Mgnovenie gradually penetrate your every cell, until its rhythm becomes your heartbeat, until the glitch becomes your synapse, and the bass becomes your step. This is the land where r.roo paints with sounds.

One of the IDM genre's more prolific young talents returns with his 7th album in two years, titled 'innerheaven'. Plunging into dense, undulating atmospheres beneath expertly crafted polyrhythms, glitchy beats add a visceral quality to an otherwise cerebral listening experience, creating a cohesive and relevant soundscape with many destinations. Lamenting vocals and poignant cello movements are woven into the fabric of harsh sonic artefacts while addictive beats punctuate the brooding sonic landscape. Like a cold and bright winter morning, 'innerheaven' clings and soothes with a radiant glow, swelling with optimism as it guides the listener into endless passages of introspection. As with mgnovenie before it, once again r.roo builds a compelling cocktail of melancholy, antagonism, hope, and beauty that never settles into a predictable groove, with sounds that lull one moment and crash in a cacophony of unrestrained emotion the next.

"I would have gone in my apartment now, if I knew the place of distortion which could whittle me away, disembowel me, get rid of my self."

Originally included as a limited bonus CD album  to Innerheaven. Since ‘Hydref‘ 's become freely available. featuring 9 new songs of an amazing quality. In exhibits presented for the blind there are together serenity and anxiety, craving for shattered and for holistic, attraction to warm and avoiding of cold.  It's an autumn album the title is the giveaway as Hydref is Welsh for October.... But music like this is highly enjoyable whatever the season is

  1. hi rho,

    i know you probably won't see this, but many thanks again for the chance to try out some of this music.
    there isn't much electronic(a) that i listen to these days, as it seems quite stagnant in general.
    r.roo is a great example of how to do it right.

    cheers,

    baz

  2. Hello Baz, couldn't agree with you more r.roo is something else. He's produced a lot of high quality ambient/neo classical music and doesn't even stop there as Na-Hag he's produced 4 dark ambient/noise albums. His mind is clearly overflowing with music.. For us to N'joy and i suspect he might get some foothold in the west.
