0Kedr Livanskiy shares “Keep Your Word”
Kedr Livanskiy has unveiled “Otvechai Za Slova (Keep Your Word)” – the second single from her upcoming debut EP ‘January Sun’ that is out this Friday on 2MR. The track debuted with FADER who claim Kedr “makes music that sounds like it was rebuilt from ruins: her voice drifts on a cloud of echo somewhere way above, while the beat shifts and slides under your feet.
More info on Kedr Livanskiy:
Moscow’s Kedr Livanskiy was born into a shifting and critical time for Russia. The Soviet Union had exhausted and old values were anathematized because of reconstruction. A sense of displacement drove Kedr to find herself. She joined the directing department of Moscow school of New Cinema where she learned to see the world. At the same time, electronic music fascinated her completely and was the same depth that she was looking for.
Kedr and a small circle of friends formed around a mutual interest in music – Inga Copeland, DJ Spin and DJ Rashad, Legowelt, Death Grips, Florian Kupfer, Dean Blunt and it wasn’t long until they organized their own community and DIY label known as John’s Kingdom.
No one else was doing anything that fit their aesthetic or ideals so they started throwing their own parties which exploded in attendance after only a year. For them it wasn’t just about music; but also a channel for art, videos and lifestyle. The community continues to expand and grow. Today it’s the most alive and honest thing in Moscow.
