Alexander Zaloopin, Uvazhaemiy

On March 19th, the Sto Dromo club will host a major concert by Alexander Zalupin, as well as a full-length live performance by the sound experimentalist Uvazhaemy.

Alexander Zalupin is a masked singer and performer who emerged in the mid-2000s as a provocative response to the dominance of prison chanson culture in Russia. Subverting its narrative form and taboos with irony and theatricality, he developed his radical take on the genre, often described as "queer chanson." His 2009 release, "Sladkiy i Gadkiy," was a milestone, combining the narrative style of chanson with a punk attitude and albums that explored genres. Known for his brutal, gravelly voice and extravagant costumes, Zalupin explores post-punk, breakbeat, witch house, jungle, disco, romance, IDM, house, and minimal wave in a unique artistic language. Fans call him "Maestro," praising his songs for their tolerance and emotional release. Alexander's stunning costumes, mysterious masks, and hoarse, brutal voice have a hypnotic effect and reveal new boundaries of personality in each of us.

Respected is the solo experimental musical project of Vitaly Zimin, a Berlin-based musician and founder of the independent label Crunch Tapes (also known for his work with Beer Cowboy and other bands). The project combines sharp irony with frank emotional honesty. Built on a variety of guitars, funky beats, minimalist electronics, and deliberately theatrical, absurdist vocals that shift between styles, Respected plays with contrasts: irony and sincerity, simplicity and tension, humor and discomfort. Sonically, he freely moves between genres—from naive electropop to happy hardcore—embracing a playful, multi-genre approach without losing his emotional edge.
