Patch Notes: Poly Chain
Poly Chain is the alias of Sasha Zakrevska, a multidisciplinary artist from Kyiv who has played at the citys CXEMA and clubs, but also has strong ties with the underground scene in Poland, where she lived for several years. Her music recalls both classic electro and the smooth, blissedout contours of 90s ambient music. In 2019, Zakrevska released three essential projects: a heady, twosided LP called +, , a collaboration with Bartosz Kruczyński on Into The Light called Pulses, and Currency, an EP filled with evolving synth patterns and crystalline textures. Earlier this year, she appeared with Nene H on a split release inaugurating Standard Deviation, a new label and platform from Kyivs club. On this weeks episode of Patch Notes, Zakrevska records a set that could be a companion to that release, hitting a sweet spot between dancefloorfocused rhythms and deep, contemplative synth ambience.
