Sailing Before The Wind

People have often told us that our music sounds like something straight out of a retro RPG. We decided to embrace that idea and reimagine our songs as chiptune tracks.

Collective Creation, pt.2

Paradeigma

An album of Paradeigma collaborations, "Collective Creation, pt. 2." Paradeigma returns after three years.


Unlike the first part, released in 2022 and consisting of remixes of old tracks, the second part features collaborative tracks using Paradeigma's own sound library as source material. After a basic selection of authors, everyone interested in the project was sent a link to the sample pack. It includes solos and tracks with bass guitars, guitars, synthesizers, and samples from the 80s. The final tracklist includes 11 tracks from 10 musicians and beatmakers. The release was released on Label Cantroll. Featuring: phazan, Sinedog, elkwood the producer, Yogi Rulez, The Eighth, Riza Music, kbkbts., Hygienic Product, Иван Трамплин and EllektraJazz.

💾 Album on streaming services: band.link/c214

Since 2007, Paradeigma has been composing strange music that balances several facets at once: unconventional electronica that periodically mutates into abstract hip-hop or experimental downtempo with a touch of funk. The tracks lack vocals, yet the music often has a life-affirming and creative tone. The main instruments are guitars, synthesizers, and samples from 1980s records. Voice inserts are occasionally present, and much attention is paid to experimenting with the rhythm section. Paradeigma is a trio, a duo, and a solo project, the only constant member being Mark Shishlev. Mark is also the founder and head of Label Cantroll.

Deja Vu

HRCRX

It's like accidentally finding an old flash drive with forgotten childhood games and catching deja vu. When you can't remember the moment, but you know for sure that you were already there: on the screen with a green “Start”, in a city colored by sunset light, in a simulation where everything was under your control. 

This album is like the phantom vibration of an old cell phone: there's nothing there, but you definitely feel it.
Sound familiar? That's what “Deja vu” is all about.

The release is out now on Label Cantroll (EXTRA)
 
From the author: “I started making music when I was a kid, playing guitar and drums. Already in university, I started to write different electronic music from future beats to downtempo. The name HRCRX came from the word HORCRUX. Not that I was a big Harry Potter fan, but the concept itself seemed cool to me. After all, it is an object in which a person encloses a part of his soul”

Slow Motion

Chromatic Fields


The Slow Motion album combines fresh tracks and previously released singles, but with an updated sound. The tracks are inspired by 1940s noir and downbeat electronica. Each tune delves into a world of mystery, drama and urban nighttime romance. The music of Chromatic Fields can be characterised as follows: lyrical compositions with keyboard and brass parts combined with synthesizer elements under hip-hop percussion. 

The name of the project Chromatic Fields is a reference to colour chromatic fields from colour theory, which include different colours and shades in a certain sequence. Slow Motion is the author's second numbered album. The debut was called Ready to the Way and was also released on Label Cantroll.

Plushka

Pa Dušy (translated from Belarusian as “By the Soul”) is a joint lo-fi hip-hop album from Plushka and kbkbts. Warm, soft and cozy. Mysterious, like a good fairy tale at a summer night fire, under baked potatoes - that's how you can describe this release.

From the authors: “For us it's not just a joint work, it's a search for that very sound, which would most accurately convey a part of the inner world of each of us and views on life. Try to listen to this music not with your mind, but with your heart”

Season of Winds

This album is inspired not by nostalgia for the 80s, but by memories from the early 00s. The music of the '00s is as old as the music of the '80s in the early '00s. 

To avoid the nostalgia of nostalgia, HRCRX has added a more modern sound while staying in the genre of classic synthwave. References to some of the games and TV series popular in the early noughties can be found. 

The release was released on Cantroll EXTRA, the label's additional catalog with no genre restrictions.

Nomads Music

Nordgroove

This year Nordgroove has prepared to release the fifth album Nomads music - a perfect continuation of the project's discography, which is a sign of quality instrumental music.  

Central to the music were ethnic string melodies and dense synth bass and pads, typical of styles such as garage and breaks. This gave the album a more danceable and powerful foundation. Simultaneously energetic and soothing - Nordgroove's new work hypnotises and mesmerises the listener. Jazz brass, classical orchestral string instruments and guitars are retained. This is a ready set for those who seek harmony and beauty in music. For those who seek harmony and beauty in music. The release is out on Label Cantroll (like all previous albums).
