In this mix, I aimed to capture the essence of the war in Ukraine. It starts off with vibrant and optimistic tunes, reflecting Ukraine before the war and the russian invasion — a nation on a fast track to development and filled with potential.
Then, the mood shifts to darker and deeper beats, echoing russia's annexation of Crimea and the Donbass region. These deeper, more somber sounds carry on through the mix, hinting at the long-standing tensions before the full-scale war really kicked off.As the mix progresses towards the end, the tempo picks up, illustrating the current intense war with russia and Ukraine's courageous fight against a much larger adversary. I specifically included a track by Yoxden that really captures this David versus Goliath battle.
The mix ends on a hopeful note with a track called 'Novyi Den’, representing Ukraine's victory and the reclamation of all its territories.
Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes! Eternal remembrance to all the fallen soldiers and civilians. Together until victory!
