Zeppelin Pro Speaks

Very soon the celebrations marking the 6th anniversary of one of Moscow's most famous clubs - Zeppelin - will take place. In the run-up to the festivities, Masha Tyumeneva and Georgy Petrushin answer questions from 44100Hz visitors. They judged the questions from ron_tarasenko and kalyan to be the best. The winners will attend Zeppelin's sixth-anniversary party - for free.

Of course we plan and dream of opening a Zeppelin club, but for now we'll wait a little. We plan and hold large-scale events, we're in talks with Sensation, and at the moment we've begun a collaboration with the international dance music festival Godskitchen.

Very soon, on 16 December, we invite everyone to the Godskitchen festival and to the celebration of the Zeppelin club's birthday; we're bringing over Ferry Corsten, which should delight connoisseurs of his work and of quality music in general. The party will take place in the mansion on Savvinskaya Embankment, the same place where Halloween was held. We're also preparing for New Year's - we'll have a very beautiful and luxurious venue, the Pierre Smirnoff mansion on Tverskoy Boulevard; it'll be great fun, with lots of gifts and surprises. And the next year, 2006, we'll kick off with a Valentine's Day celebration. In general, keep a close eye on the news at www.44100.com and you'll be the first to find out about everything. Zeppelin Pro is event marketing and the creation of global brands. We deliberately separated Zeppelin club and Zeppelin Production, though at the same time it's all one single brand. By the way, at the moment Zeppelin Pro has already been around for about 9 years.

We try to keep a balance between events; we do both large-scale raves and semi-private, so to speak private, parties. They're all good and interesting in their own way, and as organisers we find it very interesting to make parties of different orientations. The FortDance project existed successfully, with our direct help, for 6 years; its further fate we'll leave without comment.

If you're talking about the brand, then for a few million dollars. :-)

Zeppelin Pro is expanding, and recently we created a booking department that handles arranging DJ appearances all over Russia and beyond. We fully manage all our residents' affairs, look after the quality of the parties they play at, make their work with us as comfortable as possible, and provide them with PR support. We're not parting ways with any of our DJs, nor do we intend to.

Thank you for the idea; we'll definitely have a word with Vanya about creating an official anthem for the Zeppelin club.

We're always glad of new collaborations, so send your résumé to [email protected] and we'll consider your candidacy; if we're interested, we'll meet and have a chat with you.

We're looking into the possibility of selling a franchise and opening clubs under our label in other Russian cities.

The word Zeppelin (in the sense of the club's name) appeared in '97, when we were choosing a name for the club. I came up with it, Zhora Petrushin, because I was always impressed by the sheer power of airships.

We'll definitely bring over lots more interesting DJs, hopefully Jeff Mills too. Everyone come to our birthday party!!!
