NEW ARRIVALS: Electronic experimental trip-hop import LPs from Bookwar Records (Russia)

Читай Букварь is an electronic experimental hip-hop project of Moscow-based artist Ivan Bookwar. Music is recorded live using analog soviet synths (Polivox, Altair 231, Ritm-2) and soviet drum machines (Lel UDS, Rokton). Ivan runs the lo-fi micro label Bookwar Records, publishing Russian mental non-commercial music that transcends a myriad of genres, including trip hop, synth pop, post punk, electronic and industrial.
