MIGZ 2009: Dubolom

Интервью · 17.06.2009

By Маргарита Аминева

In the run-up to the MIGZ music festival, which will take place in Moscow from June 26 to 27, we're opening a series of interviews with the event's main participants. First in line - the dub-techno project of Moscow musicians Roman Korablyov and Egor Killahertz, Dubolom...

44100Hz: The project appeared not so long ago, right? How did it all begin? And how long have you known each other?

Dubolom: The project appeared in the summer of 2008 at Kazantip. Someone needed to perform live at Sunset - we decided to play back to back live. We've known each other since 2006.

44100Hz: Where did the name come from? Did you agonize over it long?

Dubolom: To put together the line-up we needed to name our project. Without thinking long, we suggested Dubolom.

44100Hz: What are the advantages of working as your duo and what are the drawbacks?

Dubolom: There are three of us now. Recently the bass guitarist Andrey Firsik joined us. We're happy with everything.

44100Hz: Each of you also has solo projects and duos - Korablove, B-Voice & Khz; is it easy to switch from one working rhythm to another, and why did the need arise to come together as Dubolom?

Dubolom: The rhythm doesn't change. We're free in our choices. The need was born out of the demand for the format of music that we sometimes manage to extract from our gear.
