Curiously, Russia’s dance music scene features elements that feel closer to the Latin and Arabic spheres.

This is likely because compositions strongly influenced by Russian folk music remain the mainstream even today.

A work that lets you fully savor this uniquely Russian dance sound is “Богатый.” Its heavy sonics, smooth arrangement, and the vocalist’s raspy tone mesh exquisitely.

Thanks to its high level of polish, it’s gained popularity and seems to be used frequently on TikTok.

Many of the songs that gain popularity on TikTok are high-voltage, up-tempo tracks, right? Those have their appeal, but some people also want to listen to songs with a serious, sorrowful vibe.

For those listeners, I recommend “Никто (Текст песни, премьера 2021).” It’s a track that exudes a stylish, melancholic mood reminiscent of neo-Argentine tango.

It’s also very popular on TikTok and seems to be used mainly in art-related videos.

Janulka is an artist whose music is striking for its uniquely calm vibe, reminiscent of Billie Eilish.

Her laid-back style—whispery vocals layered over alternative pop-like melodies—gently draws you into her world.

Among her songs, the track “ты похож на кота” has been especially popular on TikTok.

The piece carries an emotional atmosphere throughout.

I think many Japanese people got into reggaeton thanks to songs like Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito.” That distinctive, catchy groove really sticks with you when you listen.

Reggaeton is also popular in Russia, and unlike in other countries, there tends to be a lot of minor-key reggaeton infused with flavors of Russian pop and folk music.

“Садись, покатаю” is one of the most popular tracks within this Russian reggaeton scene, and it’s used in a wide variety of videos on TikTok.

Here’s a track I recommend for anyone who loves upbeat dance music: “Повторим.” While it’s wrapped in the tropical EDM style that was trendy in the late 2010s, it’s more than just a dance tune—it’s crafted with a distinctive flair that evokes a Eurobeat-like vibe in places.

You can also catch touches of Russian pop aesthetics here and there, so first-time listeners might find it refreshingly novel.

Its popularity on TikTok may well come from the way it blends all these different charms.
