The Sound of Russian Experimental Electronic

“The Sound of Russian Experimental Electronic” brings together a deep, varied cross-section of Russia’s underground electronic scene. Spanning ambient textures, industrial noise, left-field techno, and glitchy breakbeats, this playlist highlights forward-thinking artists who rework club conventions and bend genre rules. It includes moody melodic cuts like Kedr Livanskiy’s “Ariadna (ариадна),” raw sonic experiments from Vladimir Dubyshkin and PTU, and harder-edged tracks like “Do U Wanna Bitch / 152 BPM” by Yung Acid.

The playlist mixes prominent names like Ishome, Philipp Gorbachev, and Nikita Zabelin with lesser-known but equally compelling producers such as Ushi333, gorilya, and Caprithy. There’s a balance of analog warmth and digital sharpness, often layered with field recordings, broken rhythms, and unexpected sample work. With its wide sonic range—from the abstract to the danceable—this playlist captures the shifting energies of Russia’s experimental electronic landscape.
