Overview
Xuman Records is identified in the supplied materials as a Russian record-label imprint connected with Xuman, an epic pop band formed in Moscow in 2009 by Sasha Xuman and Ilya Sosnitskiy. Publicly available reference material is substantially richer on the band than on the label as a separate legal or commercial entity, so the label's ownership, incorporation, headquarters, operating structure, catalogue size, and current activity cannot be confirmed from the available sources. The label's known context is the release and presentation of music by Xuman, whose sound developed from electropop toward indie rock during the band's active period. Xuman made its first public appearance in December 2009. During 2010, the project developed a live band and performed in venues across Russia. Its documented releases include the single “Panic” in 2010, the album “Golden Age” in March 2011, the single “Play” in 2012, the “49 Nymphomaniacs” EP in May 2013, and the album “The Mask Gains Over Man” in 2015. The release of “Golden Age” was followed by a tour that ran from March through October 2011. Music videos were also associated with “Panic,” “Side by Side,” “Play,” and “49.” The available sources do not establish whether Xuman Records operated as a standalone label, a self-release imprint, or a brand used by the band and its collaborators. No reliable information was supplied about additional artists, distribution agreements, physical formats, licensing arrangements, label staff, financial performance, or current releases. Accordingly, the safest description is a Russia-linked music imprint associated with Xuman's recorded output rather than a fully documented multi-artist record company. The label should not be conflated with the band itself: Xuman is the performing act, while Xuman Records is the brand or imprint named in the request.
History
The available reference material primarily documents Xuman, the Moscow-based band associated with the Xuman Records name, rather than providing a separate institutional history for the label. Xuman was founded on May 11, 2009, by Sasha Xuman and Ilya Sosnitskiy. The project first appeared publicly in December of that year and spent 2010 developing a live configuration while performing around Russia. Its early musical identity was described as electropop, although the band's style later moved toward indie rock. The group's documented recording activity began with the 2010 single “Panic.” In March 2011, Xuman released “Golden Age,” an album that marked an important early stage in the project's public development. The release was supported by a tour that began in March and concluded in October 2011. A further single, “Play,” followed in 2012. In May 2013, the band issued the “49 Nymphomaniacs” extended play, and the same period also saw the release of a music video titled “49.” The band's later album, “The Mask Gains Over Man,” was released in 2015. The known performing lineup included Sasha Xuman, responsible for music, lyrics, vocals, and keyboards; Ilya Sosnitskiy, responsible for music, lyrics, backing vocals, guitars, and keyboards; and David Sagamonyants on drums. These individuals are documented as members of the band, but the sources do not establish that they were executives, owners, or formal officers of Xuman Records. The label's own history remains unclear. The supplied website identifies a Xuman Records brand, but the reference material does not document its founding date, corporate registration, distribution partners, roster beyond Xuman, or continuing operations. It is therefore not possible to determine from the available evidence whether the imprint was created specifically for the band's releases, functioned as a self-operated label, or had a broader catalogue. No verified information is available on label finances, staff, acquisitions, disputes, regulatory matters, or later releases. The documented historical record supports describing Xuman Records as an independent or artist-associated Russian music imprint connected to Xuman's catalogue, while leaving its precise business structure unresolved.
