Yuka & Stanislav Tolkachev - Little Chemistry [Fullpanda 019]

Fullpanda Records 19th release is a split EP featuring two works from Yuka and two from Stanislav Tolkachev. The talented pair had a very tough act to follow after the mesmerising FP018, 'Lostbanhoff' from Dasha Rush and Lars Hemmerling, aka Lada, but have managed to pull it off with some aplomb.


Yuka takes charge of the A Side whilst Stanislav has the B. 'Element X' utilises ever growing waves of intensity with frantic percussion to deliver the most euphoric of techno moments. 'Chlorum' is chopped full of drones programmed with the most clinical of approaches. Stanislav Tolkachev's B Side begins with 'Self-Renewal', a sedated acid number, whilst 'Hexapoda' is moulded in Detroit stylings, with a touch of Jeff Mills' Something In The Sky project about it. The Ukrainian producer mixes fluttering rhythms with solid kicks to assemble a never ending peak time adventure.

Video: Lada - Lostbanhof

It's been a while in the making but finally the Lada 'Lostbanhof' official video is with us. Lada is the production alias of Dasha Rush and Lars Hemmerling. The EP was released in September last year on Fullpanda Records.

The video was shot in a disused train station building in Berlin and features some familiar faces to SDD blog readers. You'll spot Milton Bradley and Henning Baer in there alongside Dasha and Lars. It makes a perfect accompaniment to the release. Both are trippy and slightly unnerving yet the warmth of the music, and some of the less sinister characters, make you feel safe and comforted.

Harping back to the times of silent movies and classic horror, follow Alice as she takes you into an alternative reality. She meets different characters, along the way, who display the varying sides of human nature. Locked in an internal battle, her head telling her to leave this wicked place and return to the light, while her heart and imagination is compelled to stay by the mystery of the magic place.

'Lostbanhof' is still available in most good record stores. If you've not got it already I'm sure it'll be high in your list of priorities after watching the video. For more info on Lada you can check out their Facebook Fan Page and while you're at it, check out the Fullpanda Records Website too
