Preview Julia Govor’s ‘United’ EP

From the days of playing in a military band in Abkhazia to rocking dance floors in Moscow, Russian producer and DJ Julia Govor has had quite the interesting musical run. Having released seminal records on imprints such as Cocoon and Get Phsyical, Govor makes her return with her EP 'United', landing June 16 via Rhythm Cult. Comprised of three songs in total, the EP is a late night serving of hedi techno grooves, properly cut for the raves.

Already a fixture as a performer in her native Tel Aviv, the now Berlin-based act is establishing herself as a force in the electronic scene pumping out top-notch records and rocking the dance floor as a DJ.
