Intrinsically rooted in the underground music scene since 2008, Mike Spirit's & Spieltape's Moscow based Highway Records has become a mainstay in a sound that has consistently melted dancefloors across the globe and cemented the label as a respected trendsetter and one in which an ear kept to the ground and an eye on its release schedules always pays off for its dedicated fan base. 

As a consequence of this rich history, Highway Records now boasts an ample catalogue featuring over 100 vinyl and digital releases from Russian artists such as Dave Pad, Mike Spirit, Spieltape, Fake Mood, Doyeq, SCSI-9, DJ Skif, Bu.Di and Gorje Hewek & Izhevski alongside a fabulous roster of some of the scene's biggest movers and shakers from the likes of Mihai Popoviciu, Gorge, Adriatique, Hernan Cattaneo, Gui Boratto and Alex Niggemann. 

Regular placements in the Beatport top 100 along with their regular Moscow held parties, Highway Records has received massive support and charted releases from some of the worlds greatest DJs including Guy J, John Digweed, Black Coffee, Nicole Moudaber, Pan-Pot, Nick Warren, Oliver Koletzki, Joris Voorn, Steve Bug, Sebastien Leger, Tube & Berger and Audiofly to name just a few. 

A solid foundation built over more than 10 years will ensure many years of delivering more and more riches to the underground scene.

Some seriously funky groups come in Five’s - The Jackson 5, The MC 5, Jurassic 5… and of course Fort Knox Five.

Fort Knox Five is known for bending genres and using a broad range of musical elements in their creation of highly original music. This approach ultimately pioneered a funky scene where FK5 continues to top charts today.

Forget about tempos and genres, let Fort Knox Five take you on a musical journey that unites the funk, soul, jazz, hip hop and electronic generations.

DJ and Producer Dubra has been shaking dancefloors and causing bass-induced mayhem since 2006. What started as a passion for beats soon turned into an obsession, leading him to craft a unique sound that blends Drum & Bass, Hip-Hop, and pure groove.

As 1/3 of the collective "KRATA" since 2022, Dubra and his crew have been making sure Latvia stays well-fed on Drum & Bass-infused Hip-Hop. Their work even landed them a Zelta Mikrofons nomination for the album Krata—proof that basslines and bars can go hand in hand.

But let’s rewind a bit: in 2016, Dubra joined forces with Arteo and got signed to Disco Cakes and Bomb Strikes, getting love from Featurecast, Stickybuds, Krafty Kuts, and other groove merchants.

2020 brought a Drum and Bass explosion with his EP Light on Westwood Recordings, plus the Krafty Kuts collab Step To This on Bomb Strikes. Then in 2021, they went full circle by remixing none other than hip-hop icon Chali 2na from Jurassic 5.

Fast forward to 2024, and Dubra dropped another banging EP, Stay—because he just won’t leave the scene alone.

And in 2025, the industry took notice (again), nominating him for the GAMMA Music Awards. Turns out, making bangers does get you places.

When he's not tearing up clubs, Dubra is shaping the next generation of DJs as co-founder and teacher at “Rīgas DJ skola”, because someone has to make sure the future sounds good.
