On June 9, the Yandex Music program is set to open in Moscow’s Plus Dacha, a vibrant corner inside Gorky Park that has become a hive for creative performances and intimate showcases. The evening promises a blend of live music and human stories, with Antokha MS taking the stage to unveil a new mini album and collaborate on a performance directed by Yuri Kvyatkovsky. The venue’s atmosphere will be charged with anticipation as attendees anticipate a night that merges sound, setting, and storytelling in a single, memorable experience.
Antokha MS explained that the decision to release an EP came from a playful practical realization: a summer project was needed to accompany a unicycle-friendly route through the city. The artist described the recording process as a single, continuous breath, a sonic snapshot captured in a moment when the city itself felt like a moving stage. The duration of the mini-album is deliberately aligned with the typical length of a casual urban ride, whether by unicycle or by another mode of transportation, turning travel time into a musical idea and a listening journey that mirrors the rhythm of city life.
The new album is comprised of four tracks, and one of these pieces is slated to become the main soundtrack for Plus Dachi, anchoring the event with a signature sound that listeners can associate with the venue. The music promises to be immersive, with layers that invite listeners to ride along the melody as if they are gliding through the park lanes and along the riverbank, capturing both the energy and the tranquility of a summer evening in Moscow.
Beyond the concert itself, the Plus Dacha program will host a series of conversations and interviews that bring together voices from across the music industry and literary circles. Attendees can expect candid discussions with performers, producers, and writers, offering a window into the creative processes, collaboration stories, and the evolving landscape of contemporary music and writing. The format aims to spark dialogue, inspire upcoming artists, and create a space where ideas flow as freely as the music.
Access to all events is complimentary for Plus subscribers, creating an inviting environment for dedicated listeners to soak in performances without purchasing a ticket. For those who do not hold a Plus subscription, there is an option to sign up for a free trial period that does not require prior login, enabling a broader audience to experience the show and explore what Yandex Music has to offer. The program is designed to be accessible, welcoming curious newcomers while also rewarding loyal subscribers with exclusive moments and a heightened listening experience.
