Label Cantroll (formerly Cuntroll) is a music label that has been producing downtempo, trip-hop, chill-hop and abstract hip-hop releases since 2008. The label produces the most interesting submitted material from both young and mature musicians.

The label brings people together, promotes experimental music in Russia, and helps musicians find their listeners. Cantroll does not publish music on physical media, does not do mastering and mixing.

The label organizes various contests for authors, collaborations with Jamendo, VK Clips, Groover and other platforms, annual qualifying rounds for international compilations Downtown and Take a Trip. Various thematic entertainment and educational rubrics are published for listeners. There is a 24-hour web-radio.
