For his role in Spiritless 2, Danila Kozlovsky mastered surfing almost perfectly. Filming took place in Uluwatu - a favorite place for experienced surfers
to Bali. Beginners should not go there: there are reefs nearby! At the height of the shooting, rescuers reported: a swell - a large wave - was heading towards us. The group was in a hurry. Only one frame was missing - how the hero stands up to his full height on the board. It was possible, of course, to do without him, but Danila always strives for the ideal. We waited for a favorable moment - a small wave. And finally Danila went to sea. Suddenly, a small wave rose and turned into a three-meter wave. In this case, the surfer must dive under it on the board. But, finding himself on the crest of a wave, Danila continued to work - and got to his feet! The film crew was speechless with horror as they saw him almost instantly blown off the board and spun around. "I feel like I'm in a
washing machine drum during spin cycle! - says Kozlovsky. “And the next wave also threw the T-shirt over my face!” More and more waves began to nail the actor to the reefs. He gathered his strength and rowed to the shore - and then he saw a drowning guy, almost unconscious. Risking his life, Danila swam to him and picked him up on his surfboard. So he and the tourist, who had miscalculated their strength, held out until the boat arrived. “The Australian rescuers, pulling us out of the water, said: “Crazy Russian!” – Danila laughs. “I answered them: “I want it again!”

From morning to evening, covered with orange dust, I leveled them, and then covered them with transparent varnish. Friends didn’t even believe it: “Pasha, are you doing all this yourself?!”
Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most notable electronic music artist in Russia of the last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, a minority of which were recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. The release got lost in the flow new music and was not as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today; musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.
2. Antokha MC
“Antokha MC” is a musician from Moscow, who began by studying at a music school in the “Trumpet” class, and is now one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.
In Anton’s work you can find echoes of 5’nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - it is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and an additional highlight is the accompaniment, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medjikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group “Medzhikul” in radio and TV rotation is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. Their debut album “Everything about Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the tired pop music.
“Medzhikul” is perhaps the first group in Russia that performs music in the genre of rhythm and blues of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. St. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.
4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!
A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with killer math-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which will probably remain forever in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental core consists of drums, bass, guitar and vocals. There are other tools used in HSV records, but this minimum set enough to perform songs at concerts. If you love playful and romantic guitar music, do not understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high-pitched male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you'll like it.
5.Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop “Casta”, and fans of modern independent music - the couple Vlad and Irina Parshin, who were at the origins of the projects Motorama, “Morning” and “Bergen Kremer” (“Summer in the City”). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band’s discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.
Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twee-pop. Unpretentious progressions and melodies, a 4/4 time signature and minimalistic accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.
6. Thank you
"Musical group from Moscow" is full text annotations in the “Thank you” community “VKontakte”. The participants do not try to show off the variety of style tags and do not compare themselves with the hegemons of the genres. The band's style is truly difficult to describe without resorting to boring musical terms. In simple words, “Spasibo” is a playful and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in the native language.
7. BCH
BCH is a project of Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album “Minion”, released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. High-quality R&B and soul are not a very common occurrence in Russian music, and BTSH not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. “Minion” is the album where very non-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems by poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCH “Hellenic Secret” was recorded with original lyrics. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.
8. Pinkshinyultrablast
Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze is an alternative rock genre that originated in England in the late 80s. Music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.
In Russia, the boom of shoegaze music in the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, which is why this genre is still not popular among a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with Russian listeners: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Togliatti, which started in hometown from killer dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital, the Togliatti residents were taken under the wing of the Xuman Records label, and the very first release, In The Wind, marked the beginning of the group’s creativity in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow band working in the indie-pop genre and sounding completely un-Russian.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia you can become popular performer just playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here there is only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.
