Intro

Therr Maitz sounds like the intersection of a high-end jazz club and a modern electronic studio. The music is anchored by Anton Belyaev's soulful, slightly raspy croon and Viktoriya Zhuk's airy, precise counterpoints. It is music that feels expensive, polished, and deeply metropolitan, moving effortlessly from downtempo atmospheric pieces to upbeat, funk-driven disco tracks that never lose their cool.

What sets them apart is the sheer technicality hidden beneath the pop surface. While the melodies are accessible, the arrangements are dense with live instrumentation, featuring intricate basslines and jazz-influenced chord progressions that elevate the sound beyond standard indie pop. There is a specific warmth to their production, often utilizing analog-style synths and live drums to create a sound that is both hi-fi and organic.

Start with the album 'Unicorn' to hear their most cohesive blend of electronic textures and pop sensibilities. If you prefer something more rhythmic and groove-oriented, '365' showcases their ability to command a dancefloor without sacrificing their signature sophisticated atmosphere.

Therr Maitz (ter 'meɪts) is a Russian indie band, which brings together a mix of trip-hop, acid jazz, breakbeat, house, disco, funk and pop. It was founded by musician, producer, and composer Anton Belyaev in 2004. Since 2011, Therr Maitz has been active in concert and touring, participating in major music festivals, releasing music, and participating in film and television projects. The group was recognized with the award for Most Popular Russian Music Band at the "Event of the Year" ceremony in 2014. The band was also the best selling act on iTunes Russia and Apple Music Russia in 2015, and received the award for Best Russian Artist at the 2016 MTV Europe Music Awards.
