Boris Bardash (1964-2026)
This Sunday morning we commemorate the life of the late Russian composer and musician whose underground band Ole Lukkoye was the finest psychedelic band to emerge from St. Petersburg. Ole Lukkoye's particular blend of folk music-inspired elements, space rock aesthetics, effects, electronic and bass details that at times is somewhat related closer to modern dance music and trance. Their elongated journeys are hypnotic and compelling, and the use of vocals and chants also adds a mystical sheen to them. Honoring his memory we will play a few tunes from Boris and his band Ole Lukkoye
In the Time Suspended segment we feature new music from Tear Garden (cevin Key & Edward Ka-Spell), Parallel Worlds (Greece), Church of HED (USA), Steve Roach’s new long form immersive release “The Surface Below” in the Deep Drift segment. Saturday night midnight,
