Shjva has a rare ability to bend time, weaving immersive dub techno, low-slung Goa rhythms, and melancholic after-hours jazz into sonic narratives that transform spaces and make them her own. Hailing from Lutsk, Ukraine, Shjva has lived as a migrant in Warsaw for the past eight years, where she runs the Penumbrum label and party series and holds a residency at Jasna Club. Her journey bridges post-industrial beginnings, Warsaw’s underground, and the transient unease of displacement – a theme resonating in her Brutaż EP and releases for Warning, People & Places, and Common Ancestors.
Through intricate shifts in groove and progression, she subverts familiar motifs to create moments of sonic discovery. This transformative approach shines in her live sets and collaborations with Volodymyr Gnatenko (Turbinaria) and Stereometrix (PLAN), where she navigates a dynamic spectrum of textures and moods.
Blurring the line between documenting fleeting moments and disrupting time itself, Shjva creates a soundscape that is introspective yet transcendent, turning each performance into a timeless experience.
Trippsy plays with intimacy, texture, and the allure of the strange. Raised in Vilnius, he found his voice in Kyiv by co-founding the THP collective, becoming a Closer resident, and shaping the city’s underground through Social Spot and THP Sessions.
His style was sharpened in those rooms: late hours, restless crowds, and a distinct curiosity. That spirit lives on in his record bag and DJ sets – blends of leftfield house, crooked electro and shadowy psychedelia. All stitched with patience and an aura of timelessness. Trippsy’s productions on Twig, FTF, Hypnhouse, Tysk, and Lapse carry the same warped energy.
Back in Vilnius, Karolis continues to push sound forward as a producer and sound engineer. As a co-founder of River Sound Festival, he helps shape a narrative rooted in community, care, and sonic curiosity.
Whether in early morning glow or late-night haze, Trippsy invites you into a deeper kind of listening.
