Stim Axel —

Stim Axel is a Russian vocal drum-and-bass project formed in 2005. The core members are DJ and musician Telly (Evgeny Afanasyev) and vocalist Loona (Alexandra Zamorina). Their work sits primarily in drum and bass and jungle, with additional material that aligns with drumstep tempos and production approaches. The project began in 2005 when Telly and Loona joined forces to make vocal-led DnB and jungle tracks. Their first released appearance is documented on the TAMRecords compilation Bes98Rus in December 2005. That early release led directly to the project’s debut album, Tishina (Тишина), released in May 2006. Stim Axel’s recordings are defined by Loona’s melodic female vocals up front and Telly’s electronic production behind them. Publicly available releases present the voice as the main melodic element, arranged over programmed drum-and-bass and jungle rhythms; the project’s output also includes material that moves into drumstep tempo ranges. Specific production credits list Telly as the DJ/musician responsible for the project’s arrangements and studio work, while Loona provides lead vocal performance. On the release and exposure side, Stim Axel’s first compilation appearance (TAMRecords’ Bes98Rus, Dec 2005) and the May 2006 album Tishina are the verified anchors of their discography. The project received industry recognition in 2006, winning the Russian Drum&Bass Awards’ “Breakthrough of the Year.” Their tracks have been featured on major Russian drum-and-bass compilations and placed into radio rotation within Russia. After an extended period without new releases, Stim Axel resumed releasing new tracks in early 2026. Public information on specific artistic influences or further collaborations is limited. What is verifiable: the project was created in Russia in 2005 by Evgeny Afanasyev (Telly) and Alexandra Zamorina (Loona), produced a debut album (Tishina) in May 2006, appeared on TAMRecords’ Bes98Rus in December 2005, won the 2006 Russian Drum&Bass Awards Breakthrough of the Year, was featured on major national compilations and radio, and returned with new material in early 2026.
