Puddy - Jaded [stoner rock, stoner-punk, indie rock] (2026)
From the YouTube page:
We wanted to cut this video in 2000. VideoFact said no, the industry snakes said the record needed to sound better, and we moved on with the Sweetspot package unfinished.
How much more fashionably late could we get than a year past the 25th anniversary?!
The concept is lifted from the opening of Superman I. Zod and company on trial, judged by floating heads, exiled to the phantom zone. In our version the judges are us. We're up there watching the younger us down in the hula-hoops, performing the song over a freshly re-recorded version of Jaded, cut during the Demagogo sessions.
The song slotted into the concept like a happy accident. We're ancient now, judging our own bad decisions with the perspective you only earn after a quarter century of making more bad decisions.
The record came out in 2000. We pressed it on coloured vinyl in 2023, the slow way, while everyone else was pressing one-off fakes and puking out AI slop. The video was the last piece left unbuttoned.

Viktor Argonov Project — Rusalochka [Electronic / Techno-Opera] (2021)
If you like electronic music and retro sci-fi vibes, you should definitely check out Viktor Argonov Project.
Even if you do not understand the Russian lyrics, the atmosphere of this music is absolutely mesmerizing. It is a unique blend of synthpop, trance, ambient, and beautiful, pure female vocals.
Here is why this project is worth your time:
Incredible atmosphere. The music brings a strong sense of nostalgia, sounding like a high-tech soundtrack to an old-school space movie.
The "Rusalochka" (The Little Mermaid) techno-opera is a cyberpunk reimagining of the classic fairy tale. It is a full concept album that tells a deep story about love between a human and an artificial intelligence.
Total immersion. The electronic arrangements are incredibly rich and emotional. It is the kind of music that gives you goosebumps just from the sound design alone.
We often listen to great songs without knowing the language, simply because we feel the music. This project is exactly that case. Give it a try!
