Full Moon by Terawax

Full Moon LP is a culmination of a year-long creative process by Ukrainian producer, audio engineer, and DJ Hlib, also known as Terawax. Scheduled for release on January 29, 2025, via Kyiv’s electronic label Polygon, the album opens with electro tracks laced with acid TD-3 sequences, gradually blending in classic breakbeat and garage-inspired elements, and concludes with a jungle composition. The release also features 2 remixes from Recid and Dagga.

At the core of Terawax’s Full Moon LP lies self-reflection and a relentless drive to create, influenced by the surreal nocturnal imagery of Kyiv’s sky, as seen from his window. Active air-defense systems and the unchanging presence of the moon became integral to the artist’s production workflow. The release echoes the Terawax’s early passions for classic electro, Detroit sound, sampling culture, and the ethos of retro-futurism, inviting listeners to step into the shoes of Kyiv’s pre-war party-goers and imagine both the music that once was and the possibilities of what it might become.

“As humans, we adapt to almost anything,” says Hlib. “In moments of crisis, you have two options: move forward or let it overwhelm you. For me, music is a space for exploration — a way to connect with myself while offering something meaningful to others, whether it’s inspiration or just a moment of joy.”

The moon serves as the visual and thematic anchor for Full Moon LP, symbolizing a container of the moods and experiences that shaped the album's creation after the year of full-scale invasion. The release’s artwork, designed by tattoo artist Jekie 313, reflects Terawax’s connection to tattoo culture and his “less is more” production philosophy, where groove and rhythm are central.

The release’s promotional visuals include a video montage of personal footage from the Polygon community, celebrating Kyiv’s dancefloors from 2014 to 2019.
