Julia Bondar is a Ukrainian, Barcelona-based electronic music artist, singer, and songwriter

TROPIC OF VIRGO

After a 2 year break, Julia Bondar returns with her powerhouse EP «Tropic of Virgo», her first EP after 3 full length albums. Once again Julia is not following the conventional rules, she bonds different influences which makes her style and sound very unique.

«Tropic of Virgo» is a story of personal reflection while at the same time embraces the philosophy of who you are and the experience that life gives you. «Tropic of Virgo» is not an easy vision, but it is ruthless and charming, never superficial, and loaded with mystery.

BONDING

Across nine distinct and engrossing tracks, Bonding blends and plays with genres: from industrial, techno, electro, avant-garde pop, dark wave and more. Danceable and melodic, often moody and sinister, sometimes euphorically melancholic, with a unique stamp on every track, giving the album a traceable through-line despite its myriad and often disparate influences and tones.

Available as digital download, all the streaming platforms and 12” LP vinyl

The Best Electronic Music on Bandcamp: October 2021

Yet again, an electronic musician from a former Soviet country manages to make old templates sound super fresh. Julia Bondar is a UKRAINIAN living in Barcelona, and her music is deeply rooted in the kink-themed EBM and industrial techno of the ‘80s and early ‘90s. But in her hands, it feels fresh; every track sweeping you into a deeply strange netherworld.

JULIA BONDAR – MODULARE BEFREIUNG

In den vergangenen drei Jahren bemerkte die gebürtige Ukrainerin, die ihren Lebensmittelpunkt bereits seit Jahren nach Barcelona verlagert hat, welche Auswirkungen modulare Synthesizer auf sie bzw. ihre Kunst haben. Von einem Interview von Hans Zimmer bestätigt, widmete sich Bondar bei ihrem dritten und neuesten Werk „Industrial Symphony“ gänzlich diesem Thema. Generell ist dieses Feld kein neues für Julia, führt sie mit Partner und Freund Andreas Zhukovsky das Brand Endorphin.es, das weit mehr als nur ein Label ist. Die Marke ist zugleich Company für modulare Synths sowie audiovisuelle Produktionen. Ihr Equipment wird von Akteuren wie Daniel Miller, James Holden oder Aphex Twin benutzt. „Industrial Symphony“ ist am 16. September sowohl auf Vinyl als auch digital erschienen.

The Ukranian producer’s latest video has some seriously cinematic inspirations.

I WANT FORBIDDEN

The name of the EP talks about forbidden fruit, about something that we do not dare to reveal so we sublime it to the dance. About the attributes, rituals, fantasies, which lift up our libido and make us feel attractive. The whole idea of the EP is I want forbidden and I'll have it.

In My neighbourhood (DETUND LTD 43)

"Each person has his own inner melody that may change with time and circumstances. Some of them are given a chance to translate it into an object of art with the help of tools that we choose or attract in accordance with this tune and time”

VIA BANDCAMP

This song is a combination of two worlds: cold electronic machines and existential soul search for love. Initially, Fleurs Du Mal was made as a track to taste newly released electronic drum synthesizer Endorphin.es - Blck_Noir. Lyrics were written later, inspired by French Charles Baudelaire's - Les Fleurs Du Mal poetry.
