Strange Affection’s first public appearance behind the decks was at the end of 2010. Since then, he has generated interest among the audience, combining artists who are fundamental for electronic music development with up-and-coming underground names. He has provoked long-term response by skillfully blending and harmonizing hot club beats with intelligent tunes without setting up a barrier to different styles and trends.

Georgi (aka Strange Affection) began shaping his musical taste when he faced iconic bands of worldwide importance like Kraftwerk, New Order, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Underworld. The influence of these bands led him to the rediscovery of the whole new wave/synth pop trend of the 80s and 90s. He also paid special attention to some not so popular bands like Covenant, IAMX, Seabound etc. From this point forward, two things have always been present - Strange Affection’s close interest in the development of electro/synth scene over the years and his tendency to recognize new influences among artists of high caliber like Hybrid, UNKLE, Trentemøller, Younger Brother and Architect.

After he had been actively monitoring the club scene in Bulgaria for several years, Georgi “came to light” at the end of 2010 and his musical collection added to the lively atmosphere in a few clubs. Already known in some online communities under the nickname of “Strange Affection” (derived from a popular song by the German band De/Vision), he retained that name for his gigs. Strange Affection’s first appearances on stage were as support of some of the most talented Bulgarian alternative rock bands - Gravity Co., P.I.F. and Babyface Clan. Soon after that, he organized his first individual party in Coda Club. For nearly a year, Strange Affection played synth and electro music at the parties of the series “Strangely Affected Nights”. During this period he also took an active part in the preparation and realization of three Depeche Mode parties, which caused considerable interest among the audience.

Towards the end of 2011, Georgi started turning his attention to club music more often. Since then, he has not stopped following the work of artists with a noticeable dance sound. Undoubtedly, his interest in Electro House/Electroclash/EDM had a great effect on his subsequent live gigs, as well as his upcoming DJ set series.

Mixing different styles, Strange Affection presents a stylish blend of electronic music and the result is a combination that successfully embodies the mood of the surrounding urban environment.

The year 2012 marks the beginning of a new stage in Strange Affection’s career. He starts developing a new succession of parties called “My Beat is Your Pulse”, the first of which is already a fact. The future will also bring to his audience a series of promo DJ sets, consisting of precisely mixed and carefully selected tracks.
