Neon cyberpunk rave & roll.  Overheating synths & Y2K electro.  Crunchy bass & sim-analog gliss.  Retro-futurist big beat breakers & stompers.

I began to take interest in electronic musin in 1998 when I heart the Chemical Brothers. Not long after, thanks to artist such as The Crystal Method and Fatboy slim, I became a fan of the rhythm and the electronic beat. A year later came out a program on radio Tangra, revolving around drum and bass artist like DJ Noname, DJ Bass and many others. A year later was when I tried myself to compose electronic music and the result was two album - "O.N.E." and half year later "anti-rhythm". Their sound is more experimental. The parties that I was visiting, have cought my attention with their unique mixing and unforgettable tracks. That's why I started to make my first attempts in mixing and drum and bass was the preferred style for me. I have put together several sets that include my most favourite artist, for example Utha Jazz, Redeyes, Danny Byrd, Lenzman, Greenfly, Greg Packer, Logistics, Subwave, Electrosoul System, High Contrast.
