How a decent person should spend the rest of the summer? To rust, being an old swing, lonely standing in a deserted courtyard on the outskirts of the city. To lie down, having turned out to be the empty beer bottle, forgotten on the shore of a muddy lake. To buzz, becoming a 50-cc engine of a scooter rushing through the Veshnyaki district at three in the morning. To rejoice, having turned Tijani Babangida, who scored the single goal into the gates of the hated Danes on a hot June evening in 1998. All those little moments should be experienced to the rhythms of the languid house mix of Phil Anker, our buddy from Brooklyn, that he put together for the 5/8: radio.

Argentinian malbec or Chilean carménère? Majestoso or Superclásico? Mario Vargas Llosa or Gabriel García Márquez? Rio de Janeiro or Rio de Zhulebino? All these questions quietly pop into your mind while familiar reality fades into the haze of a sultry evening on the Copacabana Beach. Behind the fat layer of misted beer bottles, tanned buttocks, favelas that stuck around the surrounding hills, and the foam of the ocean waves, you can no longer see anything that was at least a little familiar to you. . It all happened because you turn on the mix of Alexei Parkhomenko for 5/8: radio just for a one minute

Sergei Mikhailovich Zobov went up to his house. He was having a tough day, so his body urgently needed a cigarette and a nap. As he stood on the balcony he unbuttoned his shirt and imposingly lit a cigarette. The warm wind tousled the sparse hair on his head, and the setting June sun gently burned his pale chest. There were aroma of roasting potatoes coming from neighboring apartment and the loud shouting by the boys in a yard, while they were playing football. Leaning on the railing, Sergei Mikhailovich shook the cigarette ash into an instant coffee tin, he closed his eyes and sighed loudly. The moment of true undiluted bliss has come. It is familiar only to Zobov and people who have listened to the 5/8: radio mix from Vasya Rasskazov, a resident of the @radiusquad team and a record dealer at @found.moscow

@untitledel b2b @primitiwe As intriguing as a long-abandoned professorial dacha in the «Luch» cooperative. As provocative as Andre Agassi's lush wig at the Roland Garros finals in 1990. As charming as the name of a prostitute from an advertisement on the drainpipe of a house on Saperny Lane. As casual as talking to a complete stranger after a fourth glass of lager beer. We’re talking about today's mix of Primitive and El with Roots United. It is perhaps the best opportunity to temporarily escape from the surrounding reality in the August haze of last year, at the opening party with Oskar Offermann at K30.

When there are no dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. When you're wearing your sexiest pants. When you’re easily opening a bottle of beer with a lighter. When the cloud looks like a fat dog. When someone's mustache tickles you. When you decide to lick your reflection in the mirror. When watermelon juice flows down the chin. When you wake up to a lamppost on Kalarash street. Finally, when you're Zvonimir Boban and you’re getting ready to take the penalty kick against Lazio in 2000. For all these situations, which you probably familiar with, there is no more perfect musical accompaniment than the new mix from Lago for 5/8: radio, our Brazilian friend, DJ and visual artist.

You enter an old elevator. You press the falling button with the number "11". With a terrible roar the mechanical giblets come into motion. Here your troubled school friend was melting old, still plastic floor keys with a lighter. Here you were unexpectedly kissed after drinking six cans of cheap lager together at a local pond. Here you failed to decide who is still the best cyclist: Anquetil or Merckx. Here you once felt as good as never before in your life, because Vanya Limb's mix for 5/8: radio suddenly started playing in your headphones. Today's mix is a proven tool for immersing yourself in the state of a person making the most blissful ride in the panel building’s elevator (yep, it’s the one of the best human conditions ever). It was assembled for us by Vanya Limb, composer, sound designer, maestro of musical experiments. participant in festivals like Synthposium and Gamma festival, and the owner of his own label Last Minute Changes.

You need to calm down. You’re closing your eyes and imagining yourself as a bulky man in his fifties on a commuter train. A pleasant fatigue spreading through your body, a plastic bag with the cans of «Baltika» beer rustling in your hands, another dachas passing outside the window, your thick mustache slightly tickling your lower lip. Everything seems to be good, but something is missing. You turn on the Kolb mix for 5/8: the radio and your face, and the face of a bulky man in the train, changing with a blissful smile. It’s «Fabrichnaya» station ahead as well the weekend. Today's mix made by Kolb, a DJ from Grodno and a resident of the local bar «Сон», is a session of ambient therapy that is so needed now for all of us. It is not necessary to pretend to be a fifty-year-old man during the listening of it, but we still recommend you to try it.

You decide to finally clean up the drawer in your desk. You pull out a 1992 calendar with the Bulgarian football club «Etar», a postcard with the Riga TV tower sent to you by a person whose bare buttocks you sometimes remember, then you’ll pull out a bitter resentment for the fact that in the eighth grade no one called you to dance at school disco, and a dusty mix of Krjuk for 5/8: the radio which you turn on whenever you want to imagine yourself as a tanned resident of a sanatorium in Gagra. Today's mix is a guaranteed way to immerse yourself in sweet languor, even if you go for a beer to the local bottle shop in Lytkarino. We want to thank Alexey Kryuk, musician, DJ and a member of the Soft Metal band, for taking the time to find this treasure among his countless archival creations
