Biography
Vagina Vangi (nowadays renamed to HAARPS) is a russian witch-house project formed in the end of 2010 by Ilya Arkhipov. The first EP, "Benighted United" bursted into blogosphere and got a huge feedback from Mishka Bloglin, Tiny Mixtapes, Altered Zones, Afisha, etc
«Vagina Vangi strives to create a “perfect Russian Witch House.” Benighted United is just that. Dark drag at its finest. Stillborn beats and flawlessly brooding synths. It is orchestral and cinematic. Simply chilling in it’s vestal adoration.» (с) http://mishkanyc.comThe second EP, "Locked Forever" cemented the success and led the evolution of this project to softer, pop sound.
Thus, it was included to Last.fm's list of best new artists in 2011 (despite the mess with the artist name). Later, in the begining of 2012 Ilya took part in Russian Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp.
In 2012 due to the conceptual changes Vagina Vangi was renamed to HAARPS. Now it's affiliated with STYLSS and successfully prolongs Vagina Vangi's traditions in conterminous genres.
