My new album is out today. It’s called Boots of Blinding Speed. Took three years, made it while constantly moving, mostly not knowing where I was going. Finished it in a tiny winter garden in East London. Out now on @peer_worldwide Artwork by @euribya Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen: you know who you are. Couldn’t have done it without you. Link in bio. Hope you give it a listen.

Wow I've composed the score for the @gucci Cosmos exhibition in Shanghai. You can see and hear eight different realities of the Gucci universe at the West Bund Art Center in Shanghai until June 25th. The last few months have been a wonderful journey during which I had the pleasure of working with a great team. It was a joy to work with such talented people who inspired me and made me laugh throughout the process. When I returned to London, I felt like I had left a piece of myself back in Shanghai. ❤️ Exhibition Concept & Design: Es Devlin @esdevlin Es Devlin Studio Team: Scarlett Maloney & Gonzallo Padilla @padillavillamizar Curation: Maria Luisa Frisa @lafrisa Video Art Creative Director: Polina Zakharova @polina__zakh Producer: Sveta Yermolaeva @sveta_yermolayeva Music & SFX: Monoleak @monoleak Video Production: Hard Feelings Studio #gucci #guccicosmos #shanghai

"Beyond Good & Evil" is the first music I ever wrote since the start of the war. I released this song thru @ninaprotocol . My credit cards have been shut down, but I can work with Cryptocurrency. If you want to help anonimly and safely thats link into bio for you. 🌑All purchases will go to humanitarian aid in Ukraine. It is impossible to think about art while your friends are surviving, fleeing war or staying behind bars. Anyway. My musical language is superior to my English. Throughout my life, I have been a bit an international artist and that is why I must continue to say that what is happening now is a crime against humanity. All my Russian friends believe the same thing. I respect everybody who helps fix this crap in any way. I give a hug to anyone who opposes this criminal war. Original artwork by @_dawsh . She's great at tattoos, too. If you need a tattoo, catch her in Tbilisi.

Imagine! These are first photos of mine fencing cos in 2004 my family didn’t have a photo or video camera… (Andriy beat me badly in this bout 😂)

I love making vlogs because they let me capture little moments and return to them later, like time travel. This reel is a little teaser of my Winter ’26 in music vlog. I was so happy to meet so many beautiful people during this time. It’s in my mother tongue, so ot everyone will understand it, but there’s also a piece of beautiful music in it that I’ll be releasing this year. Anyway, it’s on my YouTube.

Back in the mid-2000s, when I was 13–14, I trained fencing at an Olympic reserve school and fell in love with the pure one-on-one duel. I went to every club competition, even against older kids who absolutely destroyed me, because the adrenaline of competing mattered more than winning. During a summer training camp, we ran every day and I was always the last one to finish. When we got back, my coach told my mom, with real pride, “He always finished, even if he was last.” That simple line quietly shaped how I see myself. Fast-forward almost 20 years: I finally decided to come back, and it’s absolutely fucking wild. After two decades my body remembers everything. The speed and precision aren’t quite there yet, but it honestly feels like there was no break at all. Like I just came home.

I made this track 10 years ago in a couple of hours with a Korg Monotribe, a basic Doepfer osc, and an MS-20-like filter in Eurorack format. We dropped it as a free download on Bandcamp. But somehow I still love this track as a listener, even 10 years later. Probably one of the best “melodic techno?” tracks I’ve ever made.

About to make a little bzzz tonight at @neww_wworld @m3_7lw

2016 was not a bad year! I finished my first Eurorack and went to Berlin to play live with it. That turned into my worst show ever: one of my Eurorack cables was broken and it was sending an insanely loud noise through the entire system. Then the left side of the club speakers went silent, and drunk people were yelling at me, “You disrespect us with your terrible sound.” I was playing right after a TSVI DJ set full of bangers, so yeah… can’t really blame the crowd. Haha. Still, such good memories! CTM x Unsound Vladivostok and Unsound Krakow were probably the main quest of that year. From playing live in a tent in the center of Vladivostok and swimming in some random bay of the Sea of Japan, to a big golden concert hall in Krakow. What a transition! Huge thanks to Helm for inviting me on this journey. (If you’re really curious, you can find a vlog I filmed about it on my youtube it’s called “Unsound Dislocation / Road Movie”.) There were also a lot of other great shows, events, and connections. I didn’t release much music that year. Just a remix for Fogh Depot. I was also preparing an EP for Boiler Room’s debut series, but then they changed their plans. Maybe it’s for the best. I hope that in 2026 I will release much more music than I did in 2016.
