Arthur Pirozhkov
Date of birth: September 10, 1974
An artist with a humorous beginning, who moved into the music show business and is starting to gain momentum. A very successful composition #Kakcelentano blew up many radio stations.
Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most prominent electronic music performer in Russia in the last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, the smaller part of which was recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. The release was lost in the flow of new music and did not become as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today, musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.
2. Antokha MC
"Antokha MC" is a musician from Moscow, who started with studying at a music school in the "Pipe" class, and now is one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.
In Anton's work, you can find echoes of 5'nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - it is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and the accompaniment is an additional highlight, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medzhikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group "Medzhikul" in the rotation of radio and TV is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. Their debut album “All About Martha” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance both incendiary and slow dances to the songs of “Medzhikul”, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the pop music that has set its teeth on edge .
"Medzhikul" is perhaps the first band in Russia that performs music in the rhythm and blues genre of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result of which their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.
4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!
A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with downhole mat-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which, probably, forever settled in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental backbone is drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Other instruments are used in HSV recordings, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you like perky and romantic guitar music, don't understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you will like it.
5 Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop "Casta", and fans of modern independent music - a couple of Vlad and Irina Parshin, who stood at the origins of the Motorama projects, "Morning" and "Bergen Kremer" ("Summer in the City"). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band's discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.
Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twi-pop. Simple progressions and melodies, 4/4 time signature and minimalist accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.
6. Thank you
“Musical group from Moscow” is the full text of the annotation in the “Thank you” community on VKontakte. The members don't try to trump with a variety of style tags and don't compare themselves to genre hegemons. The band's style is really hard to describe without resorting to boring musical terms. In simple words, "Thank you" is a perky and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in their native language.
7. BCH
BCC is a project of the Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album "Mignon", released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. High-quality R&B and soul are not very common in Russian music, and BCC not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. "Mignon" is the album where very un-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems of poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCC "Hellenic Secret" was already recorded with the author's texts. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.
8.Pinkshinyultrablast
Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze is an alternative rock genre that originated in England in the late 80s. The music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.
In Russia, the shoegaze music boom of the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, so this genre is still not popular with a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with the Russian listener: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Togliatti that started in their hometown with downhole dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital of Togliatti, he took Xuman Records under his wing, and the very first release of In The Wind marked the beginning of the group's work in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow-based indie-pop band that doesn't sound Russian at all.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia one can become a popular performer simply by playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here - only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.
