From Russia with hate comes Tatlum, a producer who has already made himself a name through net releases and performing live on upper slots of musfestivals in Germany, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia. His HANDS debut “Mechanical Rite” is a coherent brew of hardcore and breakcore beats, dark atmospheres and spur-on-samples in a glossy, crisp production of ear-splitting loudness.

Producing music since 2003, and having performed alongside the likes of Igorrr, Hecate, Ambassador 21, Synapscape or Wieloryb recently, it’s time for Moscow resident Tatlum to step into the spotlight as a recording artist, and “Mechanical Rite” is sure to popularize him in the industrial and breakcore scenes. Tatlum derives his moniker from a magic stone, told of in an ancient poem. The Gaelic term "tathlum" means a "concrete ball" which the ancient Irish warriors sometimes used to make out of the brains of dead enemies, hardened with lime.

This martial-meets-mystic attitude can also be traced in the music of Tatlum. Even though the ten tracks of the album are quite beat-heavy (with quite some real moshpit floorfillers among them), it works almost like a soundtrack album, all chips off the same block, a crossbreed of syncopated breakcore, 180+bpm bass thumps, the odd wobble and chiptune-ish melody fragments, all shrouded in sample-heavy, dark (and sometimes almost D’Argento-style) atmospheres composed of buddhist chants and eerie overtones.

Bright Recording Studio small but very  comfortable  studio  in central Moscow. We aim to become a home for creative people seeking refuge  in the music space.

Born in a formerly known Empire of Evil and currently residing in the Holy Land, classically trained Аnatoly Grinberg а.k.a. Tokee started composing music in the early 00’s and released his first works in 2004 on US based experimental netlabel BedroomBrain Records under alias ARG. Although the first recordings can be described as dark ambient mainly, Tokee constantly explores the multiple range of electronic genres. Fascinated with various currencies of electronic music and inspired by dinosaurs like Kraftwek, Depeche Mode, Skinny Puppy, Can etc, his latest efforts combine tight mechanical-sounding IDM and industrial beats, cinematic-like ambient themes, psychotic trance shockwaves, evolving into incredible melodic soundscapes both aggressive and melancholic.

Parenchukki (Kirill Parenchuk) - musician ( drums, tabla, soprano saxophone)from Mosсow, Russia.
I play at many different styles of music bands and collectives, from indian classical dance called Kathak, to jazz-, ethno- bands.
Here I put my own stuff.

I'm a composer and sound artist. I'm interested in the act of listening, phonography and finding musical ways to express these interests. Now and again I perform live with a laptop, creating soundscapes from field recordings. I do this solo, as Anvil & Stirrup with Antti Saario and with Annie Mahtani as SOUNDkitchen. I also compose music and create sound design for theatre, dance, film and audio drama.
