Husky (Russia, Ulan-Uda/Moscow)
One of the most talked about musicians in the country at this moment of time, for some strange odd reason his songs are so compelling that it is just hard to compare with normal rap. His album ‘Favourite Songs of imaginary People’ is one of the most hyped releases in Russia this year.
LudiSTELO (Seoul, South Korea)
LudiSTELO is an Electronic/Space Rock band from South Korea. They released the very first full length album, Experience, 2014 after releasing three impressive singles previous year.
Through out the rhythm/melody/lyrics, LudiSTELO represents its own style of sonic evolution. Characteristic style of sound producing, Analog synth/electric guitar combined with acoustic drums & Electronic Bass defines LudiSTELO’s color of music. LudiSTELO tells us every experiences and inspirations by the motive “Play A Star, Play The Earth”.

So that they are enjoying the busy days as the best newcomer in the country’s music scene. And they also were nominated for The Best Rookies Awards for KOCCA (Korea Creative Contents Agency) the same year.
The Marleyns (Russia, Vladivostok)
If you put all trendy genres aside, The Marleyns are always induced with positive summer feeling, the young act is considered to be as one of the musical ambassadors of Vladivostok. The journey from heart to heart long but with each step people get closer and closer.
Uhnellys are a two-piece indie band from Tokyo, Japan. Kim (rap, varitone guitar and trumpet) and Midi (drums and backing vocals) create an original structure and sound in which the boundaries of rock, hip-hop, and jazz are blurred to create something new. Uhnellys are a rising star in Tokyo and beyond due to Kim’s incredible singing skills and rapping and Midi’s musical skill, energy and sexiness on drums.
Often referred to as a hip-hop, jazz, rock version of the White Stripes, Uhnellys really prove that the voice is also a musical instrument and they use this talent to structure beats and sounds in their songs. Philosophical. Aggressive. Unforgettable.
