Sparks is an innovative electronic music duo from Russia, consisting of producers and multi-instrumentalists Alexei Ivanov and Maria Petrova. Formed in Moscow in the late 2010s, Sparks quickly gained attention within the underground scene for their unique blend of dreamy synth landscapes, driving techno beats, and evocative vocals, often drawing inspiration from Soviet-era aesthetics and contemporary experimental art. Their debut album "Electric Dusk Rising" released in 2021, showcases their signature sound: atmospheric yet danceable, melding analog warmth with digital precision.

Sparks have performed at major Russian festivals and venues, as well as collaborating with visual artists and choreographers, pushing the boundaries of live electronic music with immersive visuals and interactive installations. Deeply influenced by both Russian avant-garde and global electronic traditions, Sparks continues to evolve, using their music as a canvas to explore themes of memory, identity, and the changing urban landscapes of post-Soviet cities.
