Kedr Livanskiy - Ariadna

I discovered this today on Apple Music's Electronic new music playlist - love the synths, and she's got a great voice. Bonus for being from Russia, which we rarely see electronic music from (at least it seems that way):

She's popped up on my Spotify recs as well. I've really dug her earlier EP's and singles, in the same vein as a lot of other "lo-fi house" that's been making waves lately but her stuff doesn't seem unpolished as a gimmick but just raw.

There's a lot of interesting stuff coming out of Russia / CIS that's been overshadowed by producers in the US/UK/EU. WWWINGS and Pixielord are other ones that comes to mind immediately, not to mention a lot of Burial-esque future garage producers like Ghostek and Volor Flex. A lot of Russian producers seem very unfettered in terms of whether their stuff is trendy or cool, it's informed by music from outside of the country (they have the internet as primary resource after all) but they seem more sincere and unabashed than many of their peers elsewhere.

Nice one boss.

Also, there's absolute tonnes of stuff coming out of Russia, I'll post some when I get a chance. Trying to stay off internet til I'm done exams in November.
