We have opened to a private Sovietwave-Core page to focus only on the dedicated music genre because as a label we have to always expand to different styles. So you rather interested in Sovietwave itself, you can follow new dedicated page New Sovietwave 🙂

Sovietwave is a niche electronic genre that blends nostalgia with a longing for a future that never came. It's driven by retro aesthetics, often mixing elements of synthwave and lo-fi, with the cultural memory of Soviet-era imagery and soundscapes.
I’ve become deeply inspired by this unique blend of past and future, and it sparked my passion for creating music and art that fits into what I call the New Sovietwave genre. It’s my personal take on the original style, merging retro-futuristic vibes with modern production, to bring it into the future.

I’m excited to share that I’ve also built a great collection on Bandcamp in collaboration with a label, and you can stream my music on all platforms. If you're curious to hear my interpretation of Sovietwave, you can start here: https://band.link/newsovietwave

As a child, one day I came home from school to find a bottle of cola left in the fridge from my dad’s birthday and an unfinished pack of chips in the cupboard from a salad my mom had made. I grabbed all these goodies and played CS 1.6 all evening. During one of the rounds, while sipping cola and munching on chips, I thought, «It won’t ever be better.» And it never did.

...And lastly, about the main event of the past weekend, which was, of course, Kanye West's visit to Moscow. "Visit" is the key word here. He didn't need to give or officially announce a concert to make noise worldwide; just arriving was enough. This indicates: a) the scale of Kanye's personality; b) the global public has subconsciously isolated Russia, making this event a big surprise for them.

The rapper's visit to Moscow was briefly reported by many Western media outlets, not just ours: The Telegraph, CNN. The "analytical" coverage was entrusted to such trash outlets as the Mirror. And their article brought me immense aesthetic pleasure — English-language propaganda has become so petty:
"State-controlled media outlet RIA Novosti, controlled by Putin, reported that West is in Moscow, as did the military channel "Zvezda" — the mouthpiece of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which is leading the war against Ukraine." Well, if Zvezda published news about Kanye's arrival, there must be some conspiracy, isn't it? Most likely, the president is personally preparing Kanye for a collaboration with Shaman, or the evil Russians will force him to record a hip-hop version of "Mommies" by Tatyana Kurtukova under the threat of death.

Other resources played with the words West-East, of course, recalling Ye's statements about infamous Austrian artist. They said, yesterday he worships the Führer, and today he goes to pay homage to the Russians, think about it!.. These attempts to discredit the trip are pathetic and meaningless. On a global scale, of course, West's visit changes nothing. His arrival does not mean that Western stars will line up at Luzhniki with concerts, Russian athletes will be invited to all competitions, or that our flag will not be fined in public places. But!

Cancel culture is a phenomenon with no fixed boundaries; its temporal and ideological limits and frameworks are never clear. Someday we will again be fully accessible for all good things, but we need to start somewhere. And starting our decancellation with the visit of one of the most talked-about figures of the last decade is undoubtedly a trump card and a big step forward...

This EP is a collection of the best tracks by the artist Past Day, slowed down and reverberated to create a richer, nostalgic new wave sound. This music will immerse you in your Eastern European childhood, whether you had one or not. You can listen Past Day in streaming services: band.link/pastday

Hello comrades, I came back with my random postings about everything. Hope you missed that! So, lately, I have become a big fan of the UK’s brutalism and design. It is, in a way, quite pretty and not as oppressive as what we know from Central/Eastern Europe. It gives me the same joy as the one in Russia, with certain differences in aesthetics.

This is Barbican Estate, an attempt to create an urban utopia in the center of London to replace bombed areas after WWII. Not sure about utopia, but it definitely looks like a “green post-apocalypse,” which is cool.

Some facts: Originally, it was planned to be made of pink marble. You have to fulfill a lot of criteria and rules to be accepted as an inhabitant. Some Star Wars episodes were shot here.

If you value this kind of curiosity posting, let me know :)
