The second EP by Vladyslav Putistin and Lvcerate once again merges aspects of their artistic dualities. Moving beyond their familiar EBM and Italo disco influences, this release incorporates elements of progressive and trance, weaving together inherent dynamics and recognizable harmonies in a new light. With the twist of Italo rave, *Does it still hurt?* offers an emotional and vibrant journey that captures the unique essence of both artists, seamlessly balancing their differences. This EP is a unified narrative, exploring the zones between brightness and shadow, tradition and modernity, and energy and introspection. Remixes by Vaalha, Tending Tropic, and Panthera—each a respected figure and dedicated enthusiast of this aesthetic— add additional layers and distinct interpretations, enriching the overall experience.
