The Sound of Ukrainian Psychedelic

This playlist brings together a diverse collection of Ukrainian psychedelic music, blending elements of stoner rock, space rock, and experimental sounds. From the hypnotic grooves of Atomic Simao’s "Kalypso" to the heavy psych riffs of Somali Yacht Club's "Up in the Sky," the selection explores both the atmospheric and the aggressive sides of the genre. Tracks like Sex Blender’s "Das Motorik" and The COW’s "WEEDCHUWAYU" push into krautrock-influenced territory, while bands like Vovk and Shiva the Destructor add layers of progressive and doom-inspired textures.

With contributions from artists like Straytones, Mother Witch & Dead Water Ghosts, and Ethereal Riffian, the playlist balances fuzz-drenched riffs and mind-expanding instrumental sections. There are also moments of raw intensity, as heard in Kasu Weri’s "From Soil to Ashes" and Nonsun’s "That Which Does Not Kill." Whether it's the more hypnotic side of psych or the heavier riff-driven approach, this collection showcases the depth of Ukraine’s underground psychedelic scene.
