From a party-series to a community-driven record label, Oracool releases its second Various Artists compilation, Don’t Know. The label’s journey began in early 2024 with its debut release, Sins, curated by Oracool founder and multidisciplinary artist Adelina (Banoffee Pies Records). Partnering with an eclectic mix of next-gen Ukrainian producers, Oracool immediately drew attention from tastemaker outlets like Resident Advisor, Inverted Audio, Bolting Bits and MixMag Ukraine, cementing its status as a label with deep roots in the underground and an eye on the future. Now, with the second release, Don’t Know, the young label expands its horizons, introducing an ultimate roster. Among the contributors are DJ Normal 4, Stanislav Tolkachev, ISH under a new alias, aon , Privacy, Interviews, Jana Woodstock, Costa, Koloah, Zagorui, Sirakusy and Adelina.

Don’t Know is an exploration of uncertainty—a reflection of our times. At times mystical and melancholic, at others energetic and wild, the ten tracks of the compilation trace a journey from Kyiv to Berlin and Paris, guiding the listener through different facets of electronic music—from sensual minimal techno and tactile trance to IDM and the label’s signature dancefloor-oriented electro.

The broken-beat structures that have become Oracool’s hallmark return here, anchoring the record in a sound that is both cerebral and primal, urging movement while leaving room for introspection. Time accelerates, becoming turbulent and answers that seemed clear yesterday shift—along with the questions themselves. Don’t Know can be both a starting point for the pursuit of knowledge and a rejection of both the question and knowledge itself.

The compilation will be available on all platforms from December 1.
