Stereotype’s .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE” – A Bold Musical Evolution
Stereotype, the boundary-pushing duo of Adam Tashtamirov and Leon Nikishaev, are back with their latest album, .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE”, set for worldwide release in Spring 2025. Known for blending futuristic pop, hyper beats, and heavy bass music, the pair continues to carve their own lane in the global music scene. With influences from Clams Casino, Skrillex, and Kelvin Krash, this album promises a powerful mix of emotion, identity, and sonic exploration.
The Journey of Stereotype
Hailing from a background of indie and hip-hop influences, Adam and Leon’s story is one of survival, ambition, and artistry. Leaving home at an early age to chase their dreams, the duo built a global reputation from a single-bedroom studio to international recognition. Their rise through the underground electronic and hip-hop worlds has been marked by innovative production and a commitment to storytelling through sound.
The Concept Behind .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE”
This album serves as a continuation of the narrative introduced in their debut album, NOWHERE, which reflected on displacement and multicultural identity struggles. Expanding upon these themes, .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE” explores the contrast between temporary satisfaction and true fulfillment.
The project follows their CELLS EP, released in September 2024, a significant chapter in their evolving sound. The term CELLS carries dual meaning—both as a prison of constraints and as the DNA that defines us. .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE” continues this theme, diving into the battle between external expectations and internal desires.
A Genre-Bending Sound Experience
Stereotype’s latest album merges melancholic atmospheres with high-energy beats, creating an experience that resonates on multiple levels. .LONG WAY. “PLEASURE” fuses:
- Futuristic Pop & Electronic Elements
- Heavy Bass & Hip-Hop Energy
- Experimental Soundscapes
The album features an all-star lineup of guest artists, including Lil West, jacob., Young Drumma, sbk, and Adam Tashtamirov’s Yangshi alias, among others. Each track tells a unique story, reflecting on struggles, triumphs, and the pursuit of self-realization.
The Yangshi Project: Adam’s Evolution as an Artist
In 2024, Adam Tashtamirov launched his solo alias, Yangshi, marking his transition from behind-the-scenes producer to a featured vocalist. His mastery of vocal manipulation and production places him among elite artists like Porter Robinson and Madeon. Through Yangshi, Adam is bridging the gap between electronic music, hip-hop, and rap, creating a fresh, genre-defying sound.
Leon Nikishaev: From Stockbroker to Music Innovator
Leon’s journey into music was unconventional. Initially working as a stockbroker, he eventually pivoted to pursue his passion for music production, DJing, and composing. His work extends beyond club performances, having contributed to sound design for ads, fashion brands, and lifestyle campaigns. With an analytical approach and deep musical intuition, Leon continues to shape the modern electronic and hip-hop landscape.
