Mild Affect is the founder of Umbra, a Moscow-based promo collective focused on industrial techno, EBM, noise, and other forms of dark, abrasive electronic music. Today, the dark electronic scene in Russia is going through a deep crisis: clubs are closing, access to international platforms like SoundCloud is blocked, and cultural isolation is growing. Despite this, Umbra continues to organize events and nurture a space for raw, transgressive sound.

Although Mild Affect began making music only in late 2023, he represents a new generation of Russian artists emerging from the ruins of a once-vibrant underground. His work channels a sense of urgency and resistance shaped by the harsh realities of the current cultural climate. Through this mix, he offers a glimpse into the atmosphere and defiance of a scene fighting to survive — and reconnect with the global underground.
