Mother Russia

I was looking to make a post about ethnic music when an idea pop in my head. What's the most modern and stereotypical thing about Russia? 

Answer:  hard-bass techno, and most impotently, Slavic redneck. So get ready to squat and getting deaf, because that's there we go! Just a little note here, It's not an exhaustive research, I'm only doing it for the meme.

Cyka Blyat, by Dj Blyatman & Russian Village Boys 
First stop, Lets go to a borderline parody of what we could consider the new ages of Russina Techno. To be honest, there is an official video for the song, but Blogger couldn't find it so i place a substitute and the link of the original video-clip  right under. Dj Blyatman is, as i understand, one of the most prolific in his domain, making colaboration with many other artist in the same domain like Xs Project, HBKN, DJ Pelix and Russian Village Boy. They all operate un the sames musical genre, who's a bit underground in Canada, So I'll consider it like this for now on, even if it's not the case in Russia. 

I think that what characterize the mos this style, is his Sample of low frequencies that sound like PVC tubing instrument.

For good mesure, I also let you with a song he let out without who's not a collaboration.

Speaking of Collaboration, lets speak about XS Project. In their collaboration, they're more on the hard-bass side of thing, but for what I found, their more in the Euro-Mix side of the techno music than the others Russian Dj I found. 

this time, we got something more a bit more serious, if not mature than the other. But it's mostly a question of context and visual...

This song is not taking itself seriously... I mean, mostly every video-clip Little Big pout on the internet look like a bad parody. Playing it with a mix of extravaganza, a dirt cheap glam and the seriousness of is face is simply funny. This Video in particular, is the one who put them on the map and is a gateway for this style of music for a lot of peoples.    

Again, copy and remix overflow the Blogger / YouTube app. and again, I gonna post the most closest video with the link of the original video.
