Last week, the Lithuanian net-project Mondayjazz released a new mixtape/set from Moscow beat maestro Dza. It's currently promoted, in Russian, as "a mash-up made from tracks by all kinds of hip-hop performers, both from Russia and further afield. Banging beats for ya ears!" Indeed. It come...

The MIGZ Festival 2009: Deep-Seated Fantasies and Shallow Pockets

With the summer now behind us, some of the season's events have been pleasingly/productively summarized - by various people in different places.

Leafing through Some Cookbooks on a Moscow Dancefloor

A very appealing compilation CD appeared recently by the name of "Salat, Moskva!" - which, although it translates as "Moscow: Salad!" is presumably a play upon the French greeting "Salut!" and therefore an invitation to shared festivities. The bands taking part were reason enough for us to inves...

Doberman and Dzhem: The New Mixtape

The culture of mixtapes, celebrated most famously in Nick Hornby's novel "High Fidelity," endures in Russia. Even when there are no tapes involved. At which point it becomes a mix. Evidently this post will end sooner than anticipated. Take two. The attraction of mixtapes, profitab...

Mujuice: Teal Day EP

Mujuice has just released a new (free) EP entitled "Teal Day." As a pleasing sign of Russian electronica's ability to travel beyond the limits of the Russian language, this recording comes to us from Argentinian net-label, Igloo. In a similarly international spirit, beyond any one vocabulary,...

Mujuice

Mujuice is the stage name of Roman Litvinov (b. 1983, Moscow). Since he has no formal musical education, he was driven forward by a frenetic pace of experimentation: he worked his way from early, crude experiments with hardcore into more intricate electronic pieces by the time he was a teenager.
