Since 2014 I've lived in different countries and record material there on my recorder, portable shortwave receiver and DIY devices. Last years I lived in Ukraine and Latvia, now I live in Montreal, Canada.  The project works with such styles as Ambient, Field recordings, and experiments with radio communication.

Since late 1980s started to listen different kind of music. 1990s came with fall of the "Iron Curtain" and new kind of music started to pour in to our lives. That was electronic and dance music. Since that time I started to collect and listen records that came to my attention (thanks to "Radiodejas").  In middle of 1990s me (aka DJ Sweat) together with DJ West and group of others started to take part in underground level of DJ-ing, making small techno hardcore raves on various locations like "Undīne", Asaru kultūras nams, "Next", kultūras nams "Laimīte", also we took part in organizing first techno hardcore rave in Latvia called "Hysteria" (was not successful). Also we organised jungle/breakbeat party "Jungle strike" @ "Bastejklubs" (also was residence of "Nabaklab") that was second big failure. So we stopped our activities in electronic dance music scene. Partially we continued our DJ-ing in various private parties. 
In 2013 we (DJ West and me as DJ MagicZ) restarted our activities . We made some partially successful parties in Prison Bar (city Liepāja). That  led to surfacing of my early dreams about radio show dedicated to heavy electronic music. So, 06.02.2015. first "Histērija" radio show aired @radioNABA. After few setbacks "Histērija" is on the air every second week @ University of Latvia radio NABA / Latvian Public Radio 6 since 20.03.2015. 
Also DJ-ing phase is active in various electronic music parties and festivals. Mostly hardcore/crossbreed/darkstep and sometimes psytrance, oldschool techno & early jungle.
