Well people... I was thinking that it was time we had a look around to see what is going on in Internet Radio Land that sets off any sparks of interest >> and I was pleasantly surprised to come across this particularly tasty outfit from the Ukraine - juss the saying, 'from the Ukraine', sparks my interest as a good friend of mine played over there at one of the Big Clubs in Kiev in January, (name to follow when I get him to remind me of it ! ) and they happened to have a visit from the Special Forces squad they have over there - now this is not like your average squat party shut down scenario with our home grown tools of the British judiciary system - this is the thank God I havn't got any illegal substances on me and thank f*** for the British sovereignty Queen backed passport I had so very conveniently stashed on my persona, at that partiicular moment... (!) believe

Ok ... so these things happen every once in a blue moon - everywhere - and let's not paint a grim picture of the Ukrainian clubbing scene - as it has nothing to do with the politics of why this particular event happend - and the scene over there is positively vibrant wihtout doubt - so let's get to the MUSIC and place some focus on "Aleh Team" Black Sound Radio show!! ...

He actually turns out to be one person in the name of Oleg Tkachenko (Ukraine) - the obvious language barrier shows up here - and for all intents and purposes, based on the output I have come across, I thought the Aleh Team was a 'they', until now as I write - which points to Oleg being quite busy and dedicated to the music methinks... he also has high profile players "2 Special" as guest DJ's on his show

The music created by 'Aleh Team' is a healthy blend of chunky 'kinda laid back' but steady drivin' tech house numbers that aren't over-cooked, have simple but effective elements, and do the business on the dancefloor - some of them are very sexy indeed (thinking of 'Lutsk Clubbing' in particular) which no doubt goes down well with the ladies - and obviously with the boys too, who are watching the ladies - by all accounts (!) ;) fair play I say

So instead of me goin into great detail on a descriptive tip apart from to say his DJ sets span the middle ground between Tech-house minimal and Techno - 'Aleh Team' has provided us with plenty of opportunity to get to know his music - so have a good listen - and although I'm not one for the name dropping routine I think it's fair to say that Oleg would like me to mention the numerous collaborations with top players he has been involved in, of which there are links below to their music, also he has his releases played on numerous top radio stations including Kiss FM, and that his music is supported by none other than "Richie Hawtin, Umek, Fergie, Dandi & Ugo, Piatto, Dyno, And Others!" to boot... the clubbing scene in the Ukraine has certainly got someone there who is flying the flag for Techno in a very funk-tional fashion - in the form of "Aleh Team"
