Story from SCSI-9. Part One

Club 16 Tons presents a presentation of the second Russian album by SCSI-9 group - 'History Part One.' SCSI-9 are electronic celebrities of Moscow's club scene, among the few contemporary Russian musicians with international recognition. Anton Kubikov and Maxim Milyutenko are artists with a European reputation, whose records are released on the highly respected Cologne label Kompakt. Since 2000, the musicians have been producing dance music, tracks in the styles of downtempo, and have done many remixes. In 2002, they recorded their first soundtrack for a theatrical production for one of Moscow's theaters and played their first live show in Moscow. In April 2003, their first album SCSI-9 Digital Russian was released on the well-known German label Force Tracks (CD and double vinyl), and in June, the label Kompakt released their record, including the title track in the compilation Total Five. Today, the duo is one of the most famous electronic groups working in ambient, deep house, tech house, and minimal styles, the only Russian electronic collective that has gained international recognition through their releases on labels like Trapez, Salo, Freizeitglauben, as well as contributions to renowned compilations like Fabric and Konvex-Konvex, and successful concerts throughout Europe in prestigious clubs, including the mecca of electronic music - London's Fabric Club. All SCSI-9 compositions are original and imbued with a special lyricism, which is why British critics have long dubbed them 'Russian romantics' of electronic music. In Moscow, SCSI-9 host the main electronic parties and set new musical trends by releasing music on their own label Pro-Tez. After several dozen singles and three years after 'Digital Russian,' SCSI-9 released their second full-length album 'The Line Of Nine' on the Cologne label Kompakt. The presentation of last year's album took place at Club 16 Tons to a full house and had a positive resonance in all media outlets that deemed the group's concert as a significant event in Moscow's cultural life. SCSI-9 are recognized professionals who release their works with enviable regularity and quality, unmatched by other domestic artists. On January 21, respected musician and DJ Gabriel Ananda played a SCSI-9 track in his Essential Mix set on Pete Tong's show on BBC Radio 1. Increased attention from the public and music press accompanies all of their concerts in Europe and Russia, each performance consistently accompanied by success. On February 23 at '16 Tons,' the musicians will perform a live version of their new album 'History Part One' for the first time, which is a collection of Western vinyl releases by the group never before released in Russia. February 23, Friday, 16 Tons, presentation of the new album by SCSI-9 'History Part One,' featuring SCSI-9, Anton Kochnev (D-Pulse), singer Katya Ryba, and project SCSI-10
