While the UK dares to believe in predictions for an Indian summer, parts of Siberia are cooling down after a summer of record temperatures.

Our partners at the Calvert Journal have been curating a monthly mixtape spanning gentle psychedelic house, Soviet-era pop and industrial techno. We’ve pulled together the mixes from the summer of 2014, which are grounded in Russia but combine influences from across the post-Soviet region.

June

The beginning of summer was welcomed in with a mixtape from Stoned Boys, a dance music duo who combine the inspiration from the international rave scene with the homegrown influence of artists from the Soviet period. A mash up of “dirty techno”, post-industrial sound and seventies experimentalism, the urban mixtape was described by the duo as a “revolutionary spirit, like a teenager ready to light a Molotov cocktail”.

July

This month’s mix is an invitation to explore Moscow’s streets. Collated by experimental electronic producer Saburov, on the Hyperboloid label, it is a musical tour of the capital’s courtyards and hidden corners, coupling sounds of the internet with the style of Moscow’s underground scene.

August

A musician known as Alexey A5 was August’s selector, founder of the record label Udacha who specialise in gentle psychedelic house made by Russian producers. The tracks are inspired by the label and span Soviet-era pop to contemporary electronic and krautrock – an experimental genre which emerged from Germany in the 1970s.

September

This mix comes courtesy of producer and visual artist Slava Balasanov, based in New York he turned to social networking site Vkonte (VK) to pick his tracks. A smorgasbord of Russian and Asian sounds he said were “just the very tip of the iceberg — probably the most common pop”, he called his mix “distinctly Russian” sprinkled with “Kavkaz (Caucasian) sentimentality”.
