Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

When it comes to the hottest social media and video content right now, it’s got to be TikTok.

When it comes to the dark sounds you often hear in short videos on social media, it’s hard not to think of the work of Deville-Rost, the Russian artist.

He’s known as a pioneer of the drift phonk genre.

Released in 2021, this track stands out with its unique world: a blend of lo-fi, vintage-tinged textures and a powerful bassline.

The lyrics paint a cool character who sticks to their own style without being swayed by others.

The piece gained even more recognition when a remix was included in the hit 2023 game Atomic Heart.
