Zvuk Skretch Plastinki
Electronic music generally aims to abolish borders, uniting people from different countries nevermind their language and cultural differences. Igra bagz banni na telefon. At the same time, those who dare to explore their own identity in specific ways often produce the most interesting results. The rising Russian label Gost Zvuk manages both, though their style may seem cryptic and unwelcoming to international listeners at first. There’s no specific electronic genre associated with Gost Zvuk, but most releases are connected by their lo-fi ambient haze. The common sound of the words “ghost” and “gost,” a term long associated with government-sanctioned compliance to technical standards, could be either deliberate or a beautiful accident.
The four-year-old label is the product of Moscow’s RAD community of musicians, who list Detroit techno legends like Theo Parrish and Moodymann as inspirations while simultaneously carrying on the traditions of local ambient and experimental synth composers like Eduard Artemyev and Mikhail Chekalin. Gost’s boss and visionary Ildar Zaynetdinov, who performs DJ sets under the alias Low808, comes from the local graffiti community, which could explain his passion for 180 gram vinyl as a piece of art, as well as the label’s simple but distinct visuals (typically incorporating the record’s catalog number). The Gost Zvuk aesthetic can be best explained through its, where you can see everything from Soyuzmultfilm cartoons to folklore motifs to a holding a pack of Apollo-Soyuz cigarettes. In Russia, imitating the West has always been a common way of creating something fashionable and pseudo-qualitative. Gost Zvuk tries to escape this paradigm, balancing instead between international kitsch and a raw representation of Russian culture. The Cyrillic letters everywhere, from covers to artist descriptions, can trick you into thinking that the label wants to stay local, but its mission as stated by Zaynetdinov in several interviews is quite the opposite: to find the beauty inside their scene and bring it to the world, incidentally exploring a “Russian sound,” as mysterious as the Russian soul itself.
The best examples can be heard in the Moscow club NII (Science and Art), where the label has a residency. But in case you can’t get there, below is a highlight reel of Gost Zvuk’s finest to date. Aleksei Nikitin – “Tebe Nujno Vernutsya” (2014) One of the label’s most hard-working producers, the Saint-Petersburg-based Aleksei Nikitin (aka Nocow) went deeper into exploring new territories on his 2017 album,.

But it all started with Nikitin’s house bangers, nervous and melodic. The essence of “Tebe Nujno Vernutsya,” known as GOST001, is pretty straightforward, but the soulful vocal sample in English shows that the label is not exclusively about celebrating Russian heritage. Still, the icy synth at the end calls back to the producer’s origins. AEM Rhythm-Cascade – “Vspominafoniya” (2014) One of Gost Zvuk’s unofficial anthems was composed by another producer coming from Saint Petersburg, Flaty, known here as AEM Rhythm-Cascade. The word “Vspominafoniya” doesn’t exist in Russian—it’s a symbiosis between “vspominat” (to remember) and “symfoniya” (symphony). While the percussion resembles a cash register, the background is reminiscent of Soviet TV and radio program intros.
