Do you remember our regular contributors Waterplea who were with us from the beginning? They prepared their first solo LP to be released here. Let you not be tricked by a short tracklist for it’s a 40 minutes trip with detailed conception, ever-changing pace and mood. It takes you from your chair/sofa/bed to a deep sleep state, laying a road before you and inviting you to visit unexplored worlds drawn with blended colors of rich imagination of the authors. Traversing dark ambient soundscapes through intense vivid beats to engaging downtempo grooves this solid music piece touches dozens of different styles and evokes a broad range of emotions and pictures in listeners head.
As authors say the album was mostly composed sequentially, that’s why it was decided to keep the most of it in a single track to underline the theme of one thing transforming into another as your thoughts move from it as it often happens when you sleep. When one is seeing a dream it is hard to tell when it started or how he got here because it’s in a constant change yet all is still connected. This album is something you’d probably like to return to, because of its multilayered atmosphere and numerous details that make listener want to give it another shot to explore something he missed before. There was also a limited number of physical copies printed; images created for its booklet are included in the archive.

VAD is Mixgalaxy old-timer, he contributed to numerous compilations of our label and now we proudly present you his solo album. It’s a mix of Russian folk singing with New Age music. Charming scent of traditions combined with rich electronic timbres gives birth to some nostalgic melancholy and rememberance of music one might have heard long long time ago, yet it manages to stay topical and fresh. It doesn’t matter if you were not born in Russia and haven’t absorbed that calm old-fashioned unity with nature that is streaming in the veins of Russian outlying districts – this music is going to share all this with you as a well written book. VAD’s huge composer experience enables him to communicate with the listener on this vivid language freely like he was telling you about his motherland with heart-warming expression, contagious interest and dozens of lively details. You might not want to miss such an involving tale so make sure you give it a listen and share it with your friends.

[MIXG018] Various Artists – Music For Danny DeVito

This time Mixgalaxy Records made a special compilation for Mr. Danny DeVito. Why? Because nobody has never done this for him before. At least officially. We sorta didn’t know what kind of music he prefers so we’ve set up a tracklist of a wide variety of genres for him to pick from. We decided that making it a private release would be unfair to our listeners so you all are very much welcome to give this record a listen and share it with your friends of course.
It’s an easy bet to say that for Mr. DeVito all the names here are new, however for our regular listeners this release is once again a mix of old timers (even including Jacobo – a raggae-dub side project of Sinestesia) and a couple of guest artists which we would like to present. Meet Abel Mariam from San Jose, California, USA who contributed an opening track and meet Russian-Norwegian duo Zunzagi which consists of sound producer Sergei from Tomsk and singer Julia from Oslo. And finally welcome Without Time band form Grodno, Bealrus.
So, as you can expect from Mixgalaxy Records it’s a nice one hour set of good tracks fluctuating from easy listening and folk-pop to electro-house, breakbeat and even hip-hop. And if by any chance you are an acquaintance of Mr. DeVito – make sure to pass him the link, that will do us all a big favor.

You’ve already heard Spanish artist Raul Diaz aka Taker 51′s track called ‘Viento Vagabundo’ on Music For The Weird Clerkfish compilation. And now we release his album ‘Luces En La Noche’ (which means ‘Lights in the night’), so it’s obviously music for a night. In his compositions Raul prefers to mix soulful acoustic parts with electronic effects. The result is right in one click from you – an easy-listening music that could help you to chill out after another stressful day at the office.
Also our regular artists Cubic and Gipa remixed track ‘Brazo Del Dolor’ for a pleasure of electronic dance music lovers.

Mixgalaxy goes exotic this summer. Another one experimental step in our journey. We’re gonna present you our first LP release by overseas artist Yokandesh. He was born in Brazil town Belo Horizonte but raised in Lima (Peru), Quito (Ecuador) and Vitoria (Brazil). The moment of truth happened in Germany where Yokandesh decided to become a music maker.
And the result is ‘Viva Como Quiera’ (Live as You Want to), top quality Brazilian Pop album mixed with Samba, Rock, Baião, Jazz and other elements from many genres. The album shows how versatile pop can be, having as many as five completely different rythms and still maintaining an identity. 1000 physical copies have been sold in Brazil since January 2010. These songs are about travelling, love and freedom. A perfect album for the summer.

[MIXG009] Various Artists – Music For The Weird Clerkfish

original artwork by Ket Golosov
Clerkfish is an aquatic vertebrate that is covered with scales of cynicism. During the evolution process, this fish became cold-blooded because of eating different media products. There is only one thing in all aquatic environments that hepls this creature in self-realization – MUSIC. Clerkfish needs to eat at least one good mixtape every day, otherwise it dies fast either in abyssal depths of the chaotic post-modernist ocean or from a fisherman’s knife.
We happened to meet one in the nearest lake. It was a really weird creation that looked very hungry. So we had nothing to do than to feed the clerkfish with our latest mixtape that opened a new chapter of Mixgalaxy Records diary. Yes, we go international! Artists form around the world took part in this project. Among them are IMDB listed old-school hip-hop artist Brandon K. Montoya aka Coruscate and Bear & Lampshade duo from USA, Brazilian pop-singer Yokandesh, UK vocalist Gizella and finally Spanish multi-instrumentalist Raul Diaz Palomar aka Taker 51. Some of them have got slots in our release shedule.
And of course a few already known Mixgalaxy artists demonstrated their creativity again. So this is another salad-style compilation that proves our motto ‘Delivering Diverse Music’. Ambient, IDM, Russian folk-pop, acid broken beat, hip-hop, lounge, smooth jazz, hardcore space electronica, cold and warm, catchy and glitchy, melodic and abstract – everybody can find something for him- or herself. No doubt about it.
New chapter requires new illustrations. So welcome our new painter Ket Golosov, the author of this wonderful cover art.

[MIXG004] Various Artists – Winter Tales

Dec 22,2009
This winter Mixgalaxy Records prepared for you this very special compilation full of mystery and fairy-tale spirit with snowy scent of cold winter nights spiced with catchy melodies and grand arrangements. Our “Winter Tales” will give you a magic atmosphere, filling any place they’re being played at with viscous drones of ambient, sombre idm beats and soft chillout with folk-pop touched by traditional Russian music, making it suitable for nearly any situation whether it’s being a Christmas holiday party or just a steady evening spent alone.
The compilation explores each possible human emotion associated with this chill season being supported on this side by some guest appearances featuring project Sinestesia which hardly requires any detailed introduction to Russian electronic music arena since they have performed on numerous EDM festivals and been around for quite a while now.
Once again the artwork was produced by Gerdes who already became some sort of our staff artist since his simple pencil-drawn covers gradually help forming the face of the label. In addition, Gerdes also contributed his track Astel to “Winter Tales” and made his musical debut on our label. Few regularies appear alongside of new artists and new sounds, so let yourself be carried away by this rich and highly enjoyable music flow. Dive in!
