— "Volny Kutok" by Plushka The album is about a utopian place where everything is harmonious and happy. The titles of the tracks in the Belarusian language describe the nature and the connection with the ancestors. Created without the use of samples, the main instruments are keys and guitar. Very sincere, atmospheric and melancholic work, which takes us into dreams and reminds about the importance of life and the beauty around us. — "Онега" by Surmachina Surmachina experiments with the sound, combining ancient Russian longing and ritualistic dance melodies and reinterpreting "The Road from the Varangians to the Greeks. The release mixes hip-hop beats, electronics, and authentic instruments, including Solovetsky choir recordings and sampled instruments from different cultures. — "Chiller" by Nordgroove Nordgroove is a master of beautiful vibrations, an alchemist of sounds and intonations. He makes music that is good for all kinds of contemplation, for those who are drawn to electronic blues tunes, to something more intellectual. Every track is memorable and resonates. — "A La Vie" by Arom The songs were recorded in 2002-2004, but were not published until a label listener found the authors and collected all the sources. Their music is trip-hop and indie pop, constantly going into different sounds with vocals in French and English reminiscent of Björk. — "Everyday Journey" by Ogi Feel the Beat A combination of downtempo and abstract hip-hop with interesting melodies and samples. Ideal for lovers of quiet sounds, there are also some street boombap tracks. The release is nice and cohesive. — "Bali Trip" by Zaranka This is a relaxed downtempo in the style of Eric Hilton and Akmusique with the addition of Pacific Island percussion (gamelan, hang). The music is united by a positive vibe and optimistic attitude. — "Best of Label Cantroll, pt. 7" by Various Artists The review compilation is released for the 15th anniversary of the label and includes the most interesting tracks from the earlier releases.
