Протон-4

"Протон-4" is a Russian synthwave/retrowave project known for its cosmic, futuristic soundscapes and nostalgic nods to 1980s electronic music. Blending pulsating analog synths with sci-fi aesthetics, the group’s music evokes visions of retro-futurism, interstellar travel, and Soviet-era space exploration imagery (fitting for a project named after a historic rocket series). Their tracks, like "Навстречу небу" and "Пульс Вселенной," often pair driving beats with melancholic melodies, creating a vibe that’s both energetic and introspectively cosmic.

While the members of Протон-4 keep a relatively low profile, their releases—including "Далекая Звезда" and "Сны о вечном"—have carved out a dedicated following among fans of Eastern European electronic music and retro synth enthusiasts. Their work celebrates a unique fusion of Cold War-era technological optimism and modern production flair, making them a standout act in the genre’s global underground scene.
