Nikita Zlatoust.

Никита Златоуст – ведущий «Суд Звука»
Artist · Producer · Actor · Host

Artist, producer, actor and host every venue wants. The hit «Nikitosik», 500,000+ viewers at concerts across Russia, roles in TNT, Domashny and Channel One series, on-stage host alongside 80+ stars.

The man who lights up rooms. And your track will sound in his show.

Jury

Who's listening to your track.

Not bloggers with a million followers – the people who actually sign artists and shape the industry. The line-up rotates: each episode brings in jurors relevant to the night's genre and level.
ДАНКО – икона 2000-х
DANKO
2000s icon

«Malysh» and «Moscow Night» are still on rotation. In 2025 returned to federal TV on NTV and Pyatnitsa – and back in trending.

Максим Задворнов – PR Тимати
MAXIM ZADVORNOV
Timati's PR

A man who sees the industry from the inside: knows what sells and what doesn't, how a track becomes an event and who actually decides the charts.

ХАСАН – победитель SLOVO
HASAN
SLOVO winner · «Zaletaya v trendy»

Walked the road from the street to the big stage. His words carry weight – he knows the price of every line and every well-timed drop.

Павел Баздырев – СОЮЗ микрофоны
PAVEL BAZDYREV
SOYUZ Microphones co-founder

A professional trusted by the best studios worldwide. Hears a track technically and artistically at the same time – a rare combination.

DJZHUKOV – продюсер и диджей
DJZHUKOV
Producer · DJ

Hears a track all the way through – via beat, bass, pause. He'll tell you exactly where it lands for DJs and on dancefloors, what to tweak so the track makes his sets and reaches his audience. His playlists pack rooms – and your track can land there too.

Episode guest
+ guest juror

Every episode brings a new name to the guest seat: a hitmaker, producer, A&R or streaming editor – matched to the night's genre and level.

How it works

What happens on air.

Every episode – 10 tracks. Live jury breakdown. An honest verdict – not behind closed doors, not in DMs, but on air with reach and real feedback usually reserved for artists with a team.
Verdict
ACQUITTED
The jury accepts the track. The best advance to the offline final and compete for the grand prize.
Verdict
CONDITIONAL
The idea is there but needs work. You get detailed notes – come back with a reworked version next episode.
Verdict
GUILTY
The track is eliminated from this episode. It's not the end – it's a growth point: submit a stronger new track for the next episode. Every submission makes you tougher – and closer to «Acquitted».
Appeal mechanic

Didn't land the first time? There's an Appeal: rework the track per the jury's notes, come back on air, get reheard. The best appeals also reach the offline final.

Offline final

Top 10 meet on stage.

The top 10 contestants from broadcast episodes advance to an offline final: a live event, jurors in person, stars and celebrities in the room, a real big stage. It's no longer a podcast – it's a show people talk about afterwards.
🏆 Grand prize

Full promotion.

A studio session with the same producers whose releases hit millions of streams. Plus a full promotion package.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the entry?
Entry for one track is 3,000 ₽. 10 tracks make each episode. If a track isn't selected within 4 consecutive episodes, we refund the fee in full.
What if I'm not selected for the episode?
Your application stays in queue and is automatically considered for the next episodes. This isn't a one-off show – it runs on a regular schedule.
What genres do you accept?
All. Rap, pop, rock, indie, electronic, singer-songwriter, folk, metal. The jury is matched to the episode's genre.
Can I submit multiple tracks?
Yes – each track is a separate application and fee. We recommend picking your single strongest – otherwise the impression gets diluted.
Age limits?
14+. Minors require written parental consent. For artists 12–18 we have a separate programme – Our Angels Teens.
What does "winner" mean? Instant contract?
The episode winner gets priority for a label-team conversation and a pass to the offline final. The contract is a separate, in-person process. Nobody signs blind.
Where to watch episodes?
