Phonica Friends & Family Mix Series 29: Asyncronous

There’s something quietly resolute about Asyncronous—a sense of patience, of memory half-recalled, of dance music that resists immediacy in favour of something more enduring. For their Phonica Friends & Family mix, the Kyiv-based duo turn inward, sketching a one-hour passage built entirely from their own catalogue, including cuts from Selected Memories We Never Had on Kashtan. It plays less like a showcase and more like a self-portrait in motion: deep, textural, and deliberately unhurried. Drawing from a shared instinct for digging—whether that’s Bohdan’s fixation on overlooked vintage records or Oleksii’s algorithmic wanderings through forgotten corners of the internet—the mix carries that same sense of rediscovery, where every track feels unearthed rather than placed. There’s a quiet emotional weight running through it too, shaped inevitably by distance and memory, echoing the kind of closeness they recall from early sets like Natura festival—moments that now feel suspended in time.
