Shaped Harmonics keep releasing new music on regular basis, and this time they present Dunaewsky 69, electronic project of Alexander Gladun from Kiev, Ukraine. As with all SH releases, the material here is very melodic and a bit simple, but that’s what makes this stuff beautiful. It’s not about DSP or glitch, but about melodies and emotions. Although Gladun has been previously involved in death metal and grind core, he’s produced a worthy electronic album very suitable for Shaped Harmonics. The first track Altered States opens with a dreamy delayed melody and...

Latest release from Moscow's Shaped Harmonics. This time - debut album from electronic duo out of Siberia (yes, real Siberia). After a few CD-R and MP3 releases, Stereo Modus have prepared this CD, full of crunchy rhythms and soft melodies.

The atmosphere is very positive here, and most of the material is very relaxed and dreamy, even sleepy. For those who like crunchy yet melodic idm, this is the...

Debut album by SP (short from Supremus Plastice), also known as Peter Zinoviev (Moscow).

After many compilation appearances and three albums on different labels around the globe, Fly Through The Feelings is released on Roman's own Shaped Harmonics. Musically this is...

Debut album from ambient duo out of St. Petersburg. Vlad and Elena were already strongly connected to music scene of Russia before becoming Syntetika. Vlad was a local DJ and Elena, who's a classical pianist, was member of the famous Fizzarum project. The most important thing about this album and Syntetika in general - beauty and harmony of sounds.

While all their tracks combine different elements of electronic music, the result is a very soft and beautiful ambient music, which gives listeners amazing trip of magical soundscapes...
