Looking back, there was never any doubt that music would take a special place in Dimitri’s life. Growing up in the Balkans during the post-communist era, his first crucial step came in 2004, when he purchased his first piece of professional DJ equipment. From that moment on, creating a buzz on the dancefloor became second nature. After several years of performing mainly at private parties and after-hour gatherings, Dimitri decided it was time to step onto a bigger stage. Within just a few years, his popularity began to rise rapidly, earning him recognition as one of the leading figures in Bulgaria’s new wave of electronic music artists.

Around 2008, Dimitri Monev opened a new chapter in his musical journey. Influenced by the deep, dark beats of old-school hip-hop, he began expressing his personal thoughts and emotions through his own productions. Aimed squarely at the dancefloor, his third EP, Casper, was released by the Berlin-based label Waldliebe Familien and received strong support from industry heavyweights such as Richie Hawtin, Fabrizio Maurizi, and Steve Lawler. His subsequent releases continued to attract the attention of trendsetting DJs like Marco Carola, Luciano, Steve Bug, Shlomi Aber, Gel Abril, and Scuba.

Dimitri’s original productions and remixes have been released on a wide range of respected labels, including Metroline Limited, ELARUM, Volupso, Coast2Coast, Retrospect, Vatos Locos, Stamp Records, Matahari, Still Play Records, Wavetech Limited, Malicious Smile, Heisenberg, Serkal, Pins & Needles, Baile Musik, Kosmophono, Act Natural Records, Draft, Natural Beat Records, Monday Morning Records, Antura Records, HOPELESS, Natural Rhythm, Waldliebe Familien, Quanticman Records, Innocent Music, Southpark Records, and Bla Bla Records, among others.

Driven by a passion to deliver high-quality electronic music that listeners can truly feel and connect with, Dimitri took another step forward in 2011 by co-founding his own imprint — Alboratory. The label embodies the same essence found in Dimitri’s sets: “from deep tech house to groovy dub techno, always on the move.” Over the years, Alboratory has become a vital part of the underground culture, collaborating with a carefully curated selection of talented artists from around the globe.

Dimitri’s continuous evolution reached a new milestone in late 2013 with the creation of THE NXT GEN, an event agency and vinyl label dedicated to promoting emerging talents on the international stage. THE NXT GEN has hosted events featuring world-class artists such as Seth Troxler, East End Dubs, Carlo Lio, Archie Hamilton, Barac, Mahony, Livio & Roby, Arapu, Oden & Fatzo, Mihai Pol, Cristi Cons, Varhat, Marko Nastic, Javier Carballo, Lumieux, Andrei Ciubuc, Francesca Lombardo, Chad Andrew, Seb Zito, Rossko, Julie Marghilano, Dan Farserelli, David Gtronic, Chklte, Ignacio Morales, Giovanni Verrina & Germano Ventura, Lorenzo Chiabotti, Julian Alexander, Guy From Downstairs, Marwan Sabb, Caleb Calloway, Someone Else, Ali Nasser, Fabe, Federico Molinari, Ada Kaleh, Fernando Costantini, Randall M, Lee Burton, and many more. And so, the story continues.

Keinemusik is a network with the label as the pulse pumping centre. Driven particularly by the spirit that moves the collective behind the imprint. The spirit to find your own agenda and let nobody get in the way. The spirit of refining House and Techno off the beaten path. Be it within their own tracks, within productions of other sorts or DJ-sets. The spirit of recall value within record- and flyer-artworks and everything intermediate in word and image surrounding releases and parties. And the spirit of diversification – Rampa’s effect-gadget-venture TEILE being one example. Keinemusik’s own booking department ‘Worldwide Dancing Club’, established in 2018, being another.

Keinemusik has been around since 2009. It has been naming an existing friendship and linked interests of the four members – &ME, Adam Port, Rampa and Reznik. A more or less constant count of five releases per year have been released ever since, solely laid down by members of the crew. And a considerable count of label-parties went down, not only in Berlin, but around all international focal points for electronic music. And surely, there’s plenty more where those came from. So see you soon in a record store or on a dancefloor in your area!
