Hit of the day
Бархатные тяги (DJ Prezzplay Remix) Gazan
Gazan (Konstantin Zhukov, also known as Gazan; born August 23, 1995, in Moscow) is a Russian singer, songwriter, and blogger. He studied law and worked night shifts in a flower shop — where he wrote his first tracks — and entered music in late 2018.
Standouts include the viral meme hits “Che za lev etot tigr,” “Barkhatnye tyagi,” “Abu bandit,” “Suyetolog,” “Sheykhami,” and the Gidayyat duet “Koronaminus.” Later catalog cuts include “Oboyudno,” “Chernyy merin,” “Pantera,” and newer releases like “Khochu byt kak Gazan.”

The sound is light pop / dance with TikTok-ready hooks: irony, slang, an Eastern-tinged image, and short videos. Without formal music school, he built a career through social media and streaming.
Don’t confuse him with other artists named Gazan: this is Moscow’s Konstantin Zhukov, known for “Che za lev etot tigr” and “Barkhatnye tyagi.”
Today’s entry into the catalog: hit play, open the lyrics or a guide — then follow related tracks from here.
MALEEPA is a Russian atmospheric-pop project of 2026: a female vocal, air between the notes, and singles that sound quieter than the city outside the window. On Soyuz Music the path began with ambient — “Sneg i tvoy golos”, “Medlenno” — where breath and the memory of another’s timbre matter more than a loud hook. Then the sound clears a little: lounge “Ya idu”, then pop singles “Vnutri”, “Poka gorit svet”, “Do utra” — closer to a night radio hour, still without club rush.
The catalogue grows in short chapters. “Strizhi” returns to an old courtyard, July, rain and dust — a child’s belief “that the sky has wings”, and an adult view through glass where summer no longer smells the same. “Nayavu” holds the edge of sleep and waking; “Schitay do sta” feels like a calming ritual when thoughts won’t let go. This isn’t a story of charts and scandals, but of a repeated gesture: stay in the room while the light is on, and refuse to hurry yourself.

Private life doesn’t show up in the press — the character is in the titles and images. Snow, a voice, slowness, swifts above a yard, counting to a hundred, night until morning: MALEEPA’s world is built from quiet details, where longing doesn’t shout, it sits beside you. The female narrative is intimate, almost cinematic — a shot without credits, only light and air.
MALEEPA is Russian atmospheric pop without distance: ambient at the entrance, night singles at the exit, Soyuz Music as home. Hear “Vnutri”, “Nayavu”, “Poka gorit svet”, “Strizhi”, “Sneg i tvoy golos” and “Schitay do sta” — that is the project’s world right now.
This week’s catalog beacon: listen to the pick, read the lines, and browse the guides — then choose your own path.
