Hidden from View: Anna Pingina, Maygley, 2muchachos, and Silver Sepp

The importance of folkloric narratives and a premodern ethos endure for some Russian and Estonian performers. In each case, the allure of yesterday is imagined as some vaguely perceived source of light.

Emerging Hope: Dancedancedance, Str, Red Delishes, and Stress Code

Several of these performers refrain from any promotional work; there seems little point in struggling against material obstacles, be they financial or technical. Champions of hope, therefore, must work very hard.

Solitude: Sus Dungo, Anton Malinen, Deep Play, SV Hutor, and Honey Montana

Some understated recordings from Riga, Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, Sochi, and Sterlitamak all ponder the value of solitude. Is it a state freely chosen - and beneficial to reverie - or a product of civic indifference?

A Cosmic Childhood: Ivan Latyshev, Ponty Mython, Laydbook, and KSKY

An offshoot of Moscow's Highway Records has published a four-track EP, full of deep house and nu-disco. The authors involved all speak of some "cosmic" potential within dancefloor hedonism.

Flights of Distant Fancy: Maguett, Pro-Tez, FACDUB, and Cola Koala

From Moscow, Novosibirsk, and maybe even further come various new instrumentals dedicated to some absent object of desire. People and locations are considered in terms of distant possibilities - and a present sense of lack.

Slow-Mo, Deep Disco: RussianAdults, Moonoton, Volta Cab, and SPDSC

The RussianAdults webzine has now launched a netlabel, "My Favourite Pet." With the help of various friends, MFP celebrates the heyday of Russian cosmic disco and early house in the 1980s.

Chillwave for Lonely Cyclists: The New RussianAdults Compilation

A beautiful compilation has appeared from the St Petersburg project known as RussianAdults. Sixteen tracks, collected from around the nation, celebrate a shared sense of dreaminess and escapism, often in response to some industrial or Arctic realities.
