Here at Axtone HQ weve been wondering what they are putting in the water (or should that be Vodka?) over in Russia these days? The last two years have seen the emergence of a number of superstar DJs & producers from our friends in the East. 

Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes are certainly leading the way alongside their compatriots & Axtone favorites, Arty, Matisse & Sadko.Swanky Tunes make their long awaited debut on Axtone with Here We Go, while for Hard Rock Sofa this brings them to a hat trick of releases following Blow Up and the earth shattering Quasar. Its fair to say these two sets of producers are somewhat prolific, whilst still managing to maintain a high barometer of quality. Between them theyve released on no less than Spinnin, Wall, Refune, Size and Musical Freedom.

Sound wise Here We Go seems to be channeling the Big Beat era with its oversized beats and rolling acid line. Early DJ support has been strong with the likes of Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Afrojack, Thomas Gold and Nicky Romero all playing this stadium sized behemoth.

Here We Go

Hard Rock Sofa & Swanky Tunes - Here We Go

PURE STATE is total immersion in electronic light.
A space where frequencies turn into clarity — every synth breathes purity.
It’s the refined phase of the journey, a mental state between elevation and serenity.
Pads expand, basslines float, the rhythm pulses with precision — everything converges into clean, crystalline energy.
PURE STATE is transparency through sound, the moment where music and consciousness become one.

Realist

Ride the tide of emotion.
Crimson Waves is a powerful, uplifting journey through Progressive House — blending warm melodies, shimmering atmospheres, and deep, rolling energy. Each track rises and falls like a sonic tide, carrying you through moments of tension, release, and pure melodic euphoria.

From Horizon Breaker.wav to Solstice Dream.wav, this album captures the full spectrum of modern Progressive House: emotional synths, cinematic builds, and driving grooves made for sunsets, late-night sessions, and festival-sized moments of escape.

🎧 Let the waves pull you in. Feel the movement. Drift into Crimson Waves.
