Triangle Sun is a Russian lounge/downtempo music project featured on
Cafe Del Mar, Buddha Bar and many more. You can often hear their music
playing on social events at restaurants and radio stations. Usually they
give concerts at musical festivals, private events in private
nightclubs, at the places where you can find the connoisseurs of live
electronic music. The history of the band started when Aleksandr
Knyazev began with his enthusiasm for acoustic guitar, at that time he
was a student of psychological faculty. His passion for music quickly
went beyond love to one instrument and went further to interest in
electronic music in overall. Aleksandr did not perform cover versions to
famous compositions; he started writing music himself. The young
composer has entrusted texts and vocal execution to vocalist-keyboard
player Vadim Kapustin. And finally musician Garik Gagarin arrived to the
collective and finished the formation of the band. In 2004 Triangle Sun
began the ascension on a musical stage. Same year they have won the
Russian festival Cafe Del Mar Lounge. Then went to Spanish coast of
Ibiza to play in world famous Cafe Del Mar (Ibiza) and won there too.
The Russian acts were noticed by Cafe Del Mar Music label owners, who
after deeper acquaintance with the creativity of the group have included
the composition “Beautiful” in the thirteenth compilation. As a result,
in summer 2005, Triangle Sun performed already as headliner at festival
Parliament Lounge.
Thus, Triangle Sun became the first Russian band
who entered series of compilations Cafe del Mar, and then also the first
Russian band playing at festival Global Gathering 2007 in London.
The
debut album of Triangle Sun under the name Diamond was released in
September 2007 on Diamond Records. In 2009 guys have found their own
musical label TSM, which specializes in musical production and promo for
the band. In 2010 the collective reached and appreciable achievement by
the fact that the largest world manufacturer of chocolate Mars licensed
their track, called “Moments” as a sound track for the TVC of chocolate
Dove on the American market. Same year managers of German division Sony
music have included their composition “Diamond” in 9th vol. of Erotic
lounge, among such musical collectives as Air, Tosca, Thievery
corporation, Kruder and Dorfmeister, Jazzanova, Yanderboi,
Blank&Jones, Groove Armada and many other well-known masters of
international downtempo scene which figured throughout previous issues.
The release has taken place in October, 2010. In 2011 French label,
Wagram has included a composition “When you go forward” to the 13th
