… absolutely living substance, as if animated modernist landscape… no stylistic frames… only the enchanting beauty and unpredictability of the movement …”

Sky_ Residents are one of the few Russian bands playing electronic music “live” and not having to stick to the unwritten rules. The beguiling name hides a couple of progressive-minded natives of Novgorod the Great. Composer, singer and pianist Victoria Darian and drummer Dmitry Darian, who is also a poet and producer.

For many years searching for new expressions of sound, Sky _Residents cretaed their own eclectic style, mixed with original lyrical melodies by Victoria Darian and spanning atmospheric drum& bass, lounge, trip-hop, IDM, new & acid jazz style. All masterfully played and tenderly sung songs. The desire for experimentation continues to this day, and with their genuine love of drum & bass this resulted in the creation of the massive hit ‘St. Petersburg Cardboard’ or more simply known as “Wings” (2004). This track later became a hymn of electronic underground music, being played live to eager crowds. This success helped spawn eight officially released discs including the Russia’s first studio album with dvd Surround sound 5.1.
