Misha Sultan - The Red Fern Road (DIGRECLP02)

Mitka - Sound2 (DIGRECLP04)

“Xmbak” in Armenian means a collective, a community. The people around us are the most important value. We’re really happy that over the past few years, we’ve met a lot of amazing people we enjoy spending time with and listening to music together.

3 years ago we opened our record store in Yerevan. For us it was important not only to immerse ourselves in and carefully study the local music culture (those who regularly dig through our Armenian music section know this), but also to share what we feel.

We approach the process of listening to music — and the space around us — with meticulousness and even devotion. We want to connect with like-minded people.

We’re very happy to have met local musicians who are, in one way or another, connected to electronic music and are in touch with their roots. That’s why we want to present our perspective on contemporary Armenian music being created right now.

We’ve compiled 16 tracks that are meaningful to us into a cassette compilation. It features producers making great stuff for the dancefloor, musicians using traditional instruments, sound experimenters, and, of course, lovers of unusual synth and drum machine sounds. In short, we’ve created an interesting Xmbak.

Mitka is a sound engineer and musician from Ekaterinburg, who mainly works in the film industry. We’ve contacted him after listening couple of his tracks on the web, his music amazed us, but we didn’t knew anything about Mitka himself. He doesn’t play live shows, doesn’t post on social media and in general it feels like he has an ascetic lifestyle.

For “Sound2” album Mitka has been recording drums in the forest, because “acoustic there is better than at home” and he didn’t had money for a studio. He made a guitar by himself because regular fret position is not for him, many of his compositions are played in quarter tone. The titles of the songs on the album are just Mitka’s notes, for understanding harmonies and tunings. 

“Sound2” gives you the mystical and cinematic feeling, but at the same time sounds warm and familiar. While listenin this album you can imagine your walk through the green forest covered with fog. You might not know the way out, or how did you get there, but your mind can stay quiet and calm, because Mitka will be your guide.

All tracks written and produced by: Mitka
Executive producer: Ivan Smekalin
Cover art & design: Alina Vinogradova

Mårble is the alias of musician and multi-instrumentalist Anton Glebov. "1691" is his first solo long-playing album after quite a long break, and this is a great comeback! The album is filled with spiritual and spaced-out jazz-inspired music, recorded mainly by Mårble all by himself in his former studio in Saint Petersburg during the years 2021 and 2022. The studio was a big inspiration for Anton. He and his friends made a really special place, where instead of their home studios, they finally had no limits and could play and record music with ease. Even the name of the album is an homage to the studio; the number of the studio's door was 1691.

At the time when the album was in the process of making, Mårble was listening to a lot of Afro-Cuban music and Latin jazz. You start to hear it from the first seconds, and it's such a unique blend of these genres and his rich musical experience and vision. "1691" is full of different moods and echoes, and yet it is a really complete work. The album starts with the track "Unified Force" and ends with "Magic", those are two "new-agy", spiritual tracks where your mind just wants to drift on the soundwaves peacefully, but in-between you get a huge variety of compositions. Each one has its own unique story that needs to be heard. Some of the tracks on the album are more intense, like "Chomga", "3th of December" or "Pedritto", where suddenly you get sounds of slightly distorted trumpet or singing in Portuguese/gibberish, and other tracks with a more relaxed atmosphere, like "Jr. Pomidor" you can almost call Balearic. Also, can't forget to mention the great work of saxophone and flute player Slavik Ipatov who has recorded parts for tracks "Boss Latinoss", "Yog Cave" and "Pedritto".

The artwork for this record was made by an artist Alisa Gvozdeva, who's been working on previous Mårble releases a lot. On the back of the "1691" vinyl record cover, you will be able to see the drawing of the studio, thanks to which the recording of this album became possible.

"1691" is a truly great and unique album from start to finish, and we hope you'll enjoy it just like we do.

Lantern in the Woods is the new album from musician and multi-instrumentalist Misha Sultan – a project that marks an important milestone for the artist. It is his first work conceived and realized as a coherent, unified statement, from the earliest ideas and sounds to the final mastering.

The story of the album began back in 2021 in Saint Petersburg, during studio jam sessions with Anton (Mårble), Vova Luchanskiy, and Nikita (Minereed). These live
improvisations eventually led to the formation of the collective Sri Primat and left a significant imprint on Misha Sultan’s solo sound. Some of the instrumental parts on the album were recorded during this period, preserving the spirit of spontaneity and open dialogue between the musicians.

Later, after moving to Thailand, Misha recorded the second half of the material. These tracks absorbed the atmosphere of southern nights, tranquility, and comfort – bringing a distinct “bedroom jazzy vibe”, a touch of sentimentality and gentle melancholy into the music.

The album offers a beautiful blend of jazz and various other influences. At its heart, it’s a search for balance between memories and the present moment, between nature and the city, between the light of the lantern and the darkness of the woods.

“It was especially important to me that my friends and close people were involved in this album. Their presence gave the music that warmth and personal feeling I value so much. My brother Zhenya (Dyad), Anton (Mårble), Vova Luchanskiy — they all contributed a part of themselves to these tracks, as did Nina Livanova, who recorded vocal parts for several songs,” says Misha.

Lantern in the Woods is a soft and sincere work, where all things intertwine naturally.
