Description

The "moscow" tag captures the diverse and experimental electronic music scene emerging from Russia's capital, blending cold, atmospheric soundscapes with elements of darkwave, ambient, and avant-garde production. This sound often features stark minimalism, haunting vocals, and a distinctly post-Soviet aesthetic that reflects the city's complex cultural identity. The music ranges from ethereal and meditative to harsh and industrial, unified by an underlying sense of urban alienation and artistic defiance.
