Dona Volkova is what we usually call a purist record selector. Based in Prague, Dona Volkova is in love with the dubbier sounds of electronic music. Whenever you feel like exploring the dub techno world, you need to check her mixes: a sweet return to the Basic Chanel origins. As we challenged Dona to contribute to our Playlists series with her own selection, we’re so surprised to receive a warm soulful list of ambient records that pretty much mirrors her pesonality.
In a world that rarely pauses, these albums feel like hands gently placed on your shoulders — grounding, calming, and honest. Each one became a quiet companion in moments when I needed to return to myself. No hype, no noise — just sounds that hold you, and help you breathe again.
