Exploring Ukraine's Underground Rave Revolution

The 2014 revolution brought Kiev nightlife to a complete standstill. As protests turned into riots, and government security forces opened fire on protestors, the country fell into crisis. But out of the ashes of revolution has risen a new generation. Slava Lepsheev, who’d lost his job because of the financial crisis triggered by the war, had had enough, and started Cxema, a raw, hard and hypnotic techno rave that he took to whatever semi-legal venue he could set a soundsystem up in. So together with Slava, and the city’s brightest young lights, we followed young Kiev as they prepared for a night at Cxema, from building the venue to watching the sunrise break.

Disclaimer: I'm a 19-year-old lower middle class Ukrainian from Kyiv (where it all happens); some of my friends rave, I don't. Even though I liked the video (script, camera work, lighting - outstanding), I certainly feel like it's heavily over-victimizing our rave culture. I don't blame i-D for this, I can see how they are constantly looking for powerful and touching stories. It seems to me i-D were looking for this kind of story here and people whom they interviewed gave them what they wanted. The truth is, despite the fact Ukrainian revolution did make a huge impact on our society, it wasn't nearly as devastating as you might guess from the video. It wasn't war-like devastating, you see. It was a huge mess, some people lost their jobs, but it wasn't devastating. When the thing went off, I was your regular upper-working lower-middle class of age 15. 1 couldn't lose my job, simply because I couldn't have one. I also, thankfully, didn't lose any of my siblings. That said, I've been living in suburbs all my life and most of my close friends are coming from the working class, so I'm fairly sure I don't live in a bubble. I don't want to say it, but CXEMA is too much of a joke these days. It's expensive and most people go there for drugs, not music. I'm not a raver myself, but most of my raving friends don't take it seriously anymore. Think of hip underage amphetamine-driven girls in fancy clothes and you'll get the feel. What happened in Ukraine is tragic and I know there's lots of pitiful stories associated with it, but it has little to do with rich spoiled brats you'll find behind the doors of CXEMA.

Ok the documentary itself doesn't speak about drugs, but the girl with the shaved head in the beginning stated that there were more drugs coming in after the crisis. Soooo it's not like they cut it out or something but it isn't the focus of this docu, it's about them organizing and building parties from the ground up. The passion behind creating an atmosphere and a party is so much more worth than the drugs that people use at such events, it's just an extra but not even close the most important part which is atmosphere and the underground music played at these raves.

Now we don't have any culture, we just take everything from USA, and other countries. Our country is boring. Everything is black and white. Some of us migrate to other countries, just cuz of that. People need to have fun, without that, you will end like Poles. Boring, scared of every type of standing out (it's changing), focused on work, drinking a a lot (in not good type of way). They keeping people having fun, they are not boring. Let's pretend that's their work.

What I care about is VIBE, general attitude, the way people treat each other. What I care about is sick tunes. And in general, freedom, especially at events like this. Anything that can capture the spirit or essence of what I remember fondly as the wave of rave immediately following the warehouse Detroit scene that I got to personally experience makes me happy. But then, I have simple tastes, and am in general one of those easy to please, easy to gt along with types.

Every crisis is followed by a music revolution. The end of the URSS and the Berlin Techno The Vietnan War and the hippie rock The racism on USA and the chicago house and rap and los angeles hip hop. The technological explosion due to the cold war, and the synth music

Very impressed with this documentary. Everything from the video editing to the choice of music has left me speechless. I originally come from Oryol, Russia, however chose to leave the country due to its lack of opportunities in terms of creative arts and education. In comparison to Russia, London has taught me about the rave culture/fashion much earlier. The main thing I've learned about being in the UK - is that it allows you to be who the fuck you want to be (and still be respected by others). These young individuals are truly managing to break the boundaries in a country which still has to do a lot of catching up. Best of luck to all of you out there in Ukraine. Be free and do what you love the most - create!!!

When I listen to what they say about revolution it seems to me that they live in some kind of parallel reality. They really don't understand what happened and what is going on. All they know is their club, their style, skateboarding, music and drugs. I think it pointless to ask such people about processes in the country. They really don't care at all. Lost souls and lost minds.

@Divuar 8 жыл бұрын

True, but their point of view is also a point of view (maybe this is unfortunate). A good documentary never says what's good and what's not. It just shows things as they are. If ravers say nonsense things about consequences of the revolution - it is a fact that type of people tend to think so. Why do you think authors praise those young people making them white and clear? They don't!

It's great to see something positive from Ukraine. Those of you debating as to why most of them are speaking in Russian, why do you care? You're missing the point - these people just want to have a good time and they deserve it after what they have had to deal with. I definitely will be visiting Kiev again very soon after watching this! ;-)

They play really dope music, and slay in their clothes, but what they say is just shallow, careful information about the situation in Ukraine. It’s obvious they didn’t really care of what was and is happening in the country, they just wanted to seem alarmed for you guys, for the filming crew. They are the kind of people who run from the problems our country is facing to the world of showing off , dancing and , possibly, drugs. Thats a complete misrepresentation of Ukrainian youth.

Problems are made by humans and the society we live in. Blow it all up and let people be free. But no people rather make war, wage slaves, consumption society, pollution, etc. It's all because of governments, money, greed and who get's which part of a country. All bullshit made up by mankind. We made life so much more difficult that it already was tbh. I'm not saying that what they are doing is good, they are consumption based too if you see how to all want new and trendy clothing etc. , and they should turn face to the problems instead of run away from them but even better would be that there wouldn't be any problems at all to begin with but of course politics and economy is always trouble.

Brilliant film.. Gritty and rugged, but imbued with hopeful silver linings. It's not really about "hipsters" it's about being free or at the very least, feeling like you are. Laundering your karma, embracing self-expression... to radical extremes in some cases. The harsh realities of the world we live in bathe us in negativity and socioeconomic oppression, sometimes it takes drastic measures to wash it off of ourselves, to liberate our souls and remind ourselves that it is our life to live, and to truly live... one must be free. In heart, mind, body, and soul. Electronic music, especially Psychedelic Trance, seems to take us back to more simple social concepts... ritual, ceremony... and party. People dancing, celebrating life, love and freedom... nothing wrong with that. It's actually been going on since.... the dawn of time. And to everyone with their negative bullshit comments, until you have lived with full on machine gun blaring mother fucking WAR in YOUR STREETS... you have nothing to say here. You can't possibly imagine. Just saying.
