Ummagma consists of Shauna McLarnon, who hails from Canada's Yukon, and Alexander Kretov, who is from Ukraine. Since bursting onto the music scene in 2012, they have made a significant impact on the underground music scene. Their potent combination of uplifting and melancholic textured dreampop, shoegaze, postpunk, ambient and electronica rapidly gained them a sizeable international following despite the numerous issues they faced living between Canada and Ukraine.

Canadian-Ukrainian duo Ummagma have blazed quite a trail for themselves in their short history. They've landed press coverage and radio play in more than 50 countries, including Rolling Stone Russia, and have managed to strike an endearing chord with a good number of 'first wave' shoegaze and dreampop artists, particularly from Creation Records and early 4AD rosters.

"Ummagma have something very special about them that you don't find in many bands, that is an honest, believable & beautiful lyric delivered by an honest, believable & beautiful voice," says Malcolm Holmes of OMD. "When you combine this with the swirling ambience of lush layered guitars, this duo end up with their own unique sonic landscape."

The Italian electronic duo is comprised of Daniele Raguso and Aria Myrskya. Strongly influenced by artists such as Telefon Tel Aviv, Boards of Canada and Toro Y Moi, they blend such genres as chillwave, electro, synthpop and nugaze, creating a dreamlike sound backed with memorable beats.

They released their debut album 'The Last Dreams on Earth' on Seahorse Recordings in 2013 and the 'Lucid Dream' EP in 2014. They have collaborated with Canadian-Ukrainian dreampop duo Ummagma, Russian shoegaze darlings Aerofall, as well as Redrum Alone, Leland, and Ecole du Ciel. They've also shared the stage with Slow Magic, Darren Price (Underworld), Etienne de Crecy and The KVB have been remixed by Euro-electronic-wunderkind Aucan, who they have also played with and will do so again this summer, in addition to Gazelle Twin.

Below you can check out the video for their first single "No Failure". The track can be heard on Jamsterdam during The #NewMusic Show airing daily at 8am and 8pm Toronto time.
