A Melancholic Farewell Bathed in Neon Light
Straight out of Tashkent’s vibrant underground scene, Władek Sheen and electronic producer 19:34 (aka Alexey Polyakov) join forces for an emotionally charged reinterpretation of Goodbye. This remix blends the intimacy of heartbreak with the shimmering aesthetics of synthwave, creating a soundscape that’s both nostalgic and cathartic.
🎶 A Song Born from Real-Life Heartbreak
Originally written in the wake of a breakup, Goodbye isn’t just a love song—it’s a moment suspended in time. Sheen penned the chorus while still in the relationship, but the verses emerged after its end, capturing the pain of parting with unflinching honesty. In this remix, 19:34 bathes Sheen’s raw vocals in lush synth textures and retro pulses that heighten the song’s emotional weight.
“I never managed to replace that guy,” sings Sheen in the chorus—heartbreaking, unresolved, and strikingly human.
🎛️ A Transformation by 19:34
Under the moniker 19:34, Alexey Polyakov explores new sonic territories inspired by Vangelis and ’80s synthwave. Known for his work in theater and cinema, he brings a cinematic and atmospheric dimension to the remix that deepens its emotional core.
His sensitive and precise approach results in a remix that radiates emotional depth, balancing melancholy, clarity, and surrender.
🖤 Artists in Sync
This collaboration isn’t a one-off. Sheen and Polyakov have been musical allies for over a decade, since the early days of Cruel Tie (formerly All Tomorrow’s Parties), where Polyakov produced the band’s first demos. More recently, Sheen joined Polyakov’s post-punk project Esli Mozhno on bass, showing their ongoing creative synergy.
Both artists are deeply embedded in the evolution of Uzbekistan’s alternative music landscape, bringing global sounds to local stories—and vice versa.
📡 Airplay & Recognition
The original Goodbye track, released in November 2024, is already making waves on international indie radio. It’s in rotation on California’s DKFM Shoegaze Radio, and has aired in France and Australia—proof of its cross-cultural resonance.
With this remix, the story continues—this time, beneath the neon glow of synths and echoes.
