Mauko is a Siberian artist, musician, and singer. After a fortuitous encounter with a used mini synthesizer toy, Mauko became inspired to create her own world of cosmic space pop, deep from within the tundra of Mother Russia. Writing prolifically, releasing a swathe of electro-inspired music on Bandcamp, Mauko’s released her first album back in 2016. With a plethora of DIY collaborations under her belt, UFO serves as the first official digital release for Mauko. A dubbed indie dance drifting chip hit, with lo-fi drums pedaling hard against Europa synths beneath the soaring alien chant “People Don't Believe in UFO. ” An irresistible electro - breaks chugger, freshly served directly from the Russian Federation. A unique developing territory, where freedom to express one's voice through the medium of art is not a societal given. ‘Over the years of creativity, I have formed a clear feeling that, while creating music or art, I directly communicate with the art itself, as with a certain creature. This "creature" shows me many things, which I then try to figure out. I preserve the listener's feeling of communication with art, immersing them in various atmospheres and states. I feel responsible for being able to “listen” to art and “translate” from its language into the language of human art. An irresistible desire to learn something new from "another universe. " The realisation that I cannot take lightly my role as an artist is what drives me. ’ - Mauko Amity is proud to be supporting such a fine release. A thumping ode to Grimes, UFO exudes elements of obscure Russian Synth wave, captivating universal lyrical sentiments, and much more, proving to be art-pop we can keep on repeat. ‘I stumbled across Mauko through her own rich reposting history on soundcloud, citing Influences from electro to proto disco, discovering her own music. Unreserved, intense, punk, a feeling of freedom, UFO spoke to me. ’ - David Harks
