Khleb Essentials

Vloggers turned techno-trap artists Khleb have been turning up the heat at parties and clubs around Russia since 2013. Formed by friends Kirill, Denis and Aleksandr, who started by filming their reviews of other artists, the trio began their musical career with “Чай, сахар” (“Tea, Sugar”). Part parody, part roof-raising banger, it set the tone nicely for what would follow. That’s included their embracing of sounds as varied as Eurodance—take the Cream Soda collab “Плачу на техно” (“Crying for Techno”)—and smooth reggaetón pop, as on their 2018 hit “Шашлындос” (“Shashlyndos”).
