In exploring 21st-century Russian culture since the Soviet Union's dissolution, one confronts a complex evolution marked by significant change and uncertainty. The period saw Russia grappling with defining itself amidst global influences, particularly from the West, which reshaped its cultural landscape.

From the 2000s onward, Russian culture increasingly leaned towards Westernization, influencing everything from fashion to entertainment and business practices. This mimicry, initially seen as a path to modernity, raised concerns about authenticity and identity loss, as Russia risked diluting its unique heritage.

Amidst this cultural assimilation, figures like Pasha Technique and Pasha Buttechno emerged as influential voices. Pasha Technique, celebrated for his lyrical prowess in rap and hip-hop, fused linguistic skill with social commentary, resonating deeply with a disillusioned generation. Meanwhile, Pasha Buttechno pushed boundaries in electronic music, blending techno with ambient and industrial sounds, asserting a Russian voice in a genre dominated by the West.

Despite differing styles, both embody authenticity and challenge societal norms, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards self-expression in Russia. Their journeys underscore the tension between global influence and local identity, shaping contemporary Russian cultural discourse.

Ultimately, figures like Technique and Buttechno serve as cultural touchstones, inspiring dialogue and redefining Russian cultural expression in a globalized world, illuminating pathways towards a nuanced understanding of Russia's place on the world stage.

Miasma was born on the outskirts of Mexico City, a place overwhelming and overloaded with stimuli. Drawn to its most visceral, violent, and raw parts, they began to shape an identity within that environment. There, on the edge of conflict, amidst the ever-open wound of a country crying out in blood, rage, and pain, Miasma developed an artistic language. Their work speaks of the abject, of denial, of the erasure of cultures. It serves as a protest, envisioning a collective dance and song of resistance.

This artist is deeply committed to creating immersive, stimulating musical soundscapes that traverse a world of symbols and meanings. Miasma’s compositions resonate with those who have crossed the same thresholds of experience. Their music is a call to reflection, a journey into overflow and ecstasy, an invitation to embrace the darkest aspects of oneself.  Miasma is an unpredictable force that dislocates and re-contextualizes a wide range of musical genres in the most promiscuous and indecipherable way.
