SOU: Film Presentation in London and Fundraising for Victory Beats

On March 20th, at Rich Mix London, the first private screening of "Resonance Beyond Borders: The Sounds of Ukraine" took place — a documentary created by SW Productions in collaboration with Hospitaldnb, Hospital Records and Sounds of Ukraine project.

The documentary is about the power of music, uniting people even in the toughest times. It highlights the journeys of Ukrainian Drum & Bass artists who, despite all the challenges, continue to create music, support each other, and share their culture with the world.

During the premiere, SOU team organized a fundraiser by selling branded SOU merchandise to support work at the charity project Victory Beats. Thanks to this initiative, more than 25,000 UAH was raised, which will be used for the special cause.

Victory Beats provides music therapy for veterans and war victims in Ukraine. The raised amounts will be spent to buy musical instruments for Abilitation Center HUB (Lviv), where therapy sessions have been taking place since 2024.

It is worth noting that such prominent members of Hospital Records and SOU as London Elektricity, Degs and TheLena have also previously supported Victory Beats with their music.

A huge thank you to the entire team and everyone involved in the creation of this film, as well as to all who attended, supported the project, and shared their love. Music saves lives!

Maksym plays guitar for the first time after injury

Maksym lost his hand in the war, but he did not lose his will and desire for self-expression. After months of searching and developing a suitable mediator, along with initial attempts to play the guitar, we held our first full-fledged lesson.

It is a great honor to be with such a positive and determined person!

Ada on how drumming helps with rehabilitation

Ada lost a leg in the war and nearly lost the other, but doctors were able to save it. Thanks to Victory Beats music therapy at the Superhumans Center, she has been able to pursue her passion for drumming, which in turn has also helped with the rehabilitation of her leg. In this video, she shares her impressions, thoughts, and plans for the future.

Oleksandr Ivanko — The First

Oleksandr Ivanko is a veteran of the war in Ukraine. He always dreamed of trying his hand at DJing. One day, after relaxation therapy, he “for fun” moved the crossfader on the console from one stolon to another and everything went crazy… After that, courses with Vlad Fisunstarted, after some time, Sasha himself showed new participants the basics, then – b2b playing, playing on vinyl, and, finally, the first public set, which was played at a special retreat for veterans’ families in the Carpathians. Classic trance, full of waves of energy and comfort.

Congratulations to Oleksandr on his first release – there are still many more to come! And Victory Beats has a great achievement in its music collection! Enjoy
