about
Haarps is a Moscow based project of producer & singer Ilya Arkhipov. In 2012 ▼▲▼vagina vangi, a previous Ilya’s project, was renamed into HAARPS due to the conceptual changes. Throwing away witch-house traditions and exploring conterminous up-to-date genres refreshed his sound which was widely appreciated by authoritative labels & artists. Haarps debut EP «Mosses & Lichens» was released on December 4th on Guerrilla Records. Confused by some feedback, just two weeks later Ilya released «Towards The Sinister» - another EP which appeared to be more conservative and heavy. So this was the turn of the tide. First, Admiscs Label took an opener track «My Doom» for their 2k13 compilation. Then Haarps found its new home in STYLSS, a Portland (USA) based internet music label. Most of 2013 releases were included to their SUICIDE PACT compitalions. Throughout that year Haarps took part in different gigs, festivals in Russia and abroad. His live shows are supported by such collaborators as My Kingdom on keyboards and Anton Brunov from OneGin Please. The current genre combines some doom-ish background alongside with futurebass inventions and indiepop-like vocal lines. Elaborate production provided Haarps with a good image of remix producer. Furthermore In 2014 Ilya became a Steinberg Cubase endorser. A debut album «Spiritual Ties» is about to be released in January 2014 on STYLSS.
