New releases. Full album PPK only in Russia.

Following the phenomenal success of their worldwide hit single Resurrection, on May 13, 2002, PPK will present their new album 'Russian Trance: Formation', which will hit the shelves of music stores to brighten up the dull landscape of the dance scene in Russia, with the help of their own company PPK Management. Mr. Polyakov and Mr. Pimenov, as they are probably now called, are ready to present us with their full-fledged album, full of energy and drive without any compromises, which they have been preparing for over three years. Almost 80 minutes of epic melodicism, soaring emotional synthesizer riffs, truly exciting bass harmonies, and captivating breathless beats, created to keep the dance floor moving every second. Thirteen tracks created between 1998 and 2001 have become part of the history, the history of PPK's Formation. Sergey Pimenov and Alexander Polyakov have prepared this album for release only in Russia, but this record will hardly make us doubt that these years for them were full of hard work, perseverance, fantasy, and optimism. The title track 'Russian Trance' is the latest studio recording by PPK. Bright, romantic, yet fast-paced track, with the already recognizable sound and signature piano, ideal for meeting the sunrise on the shore if not of the ocean, then at least of the sea while dancing. The track was first presented at the Bombs of the Year festival in Moscow at the Olympic in March of this year, and was immediately added to Dynamite FM's playlist. In Russia, the track will be released commercially before anywhere else, while in Europe, it is just beginning its run on dance floors. Russian Trance will be featured in the soundtrack of the movie 'Don't Even Think', which will be released in September of this year. 'Hey DJ' was written in June 1999 - one of the early works of the Rostov electronic cyber trance duo, presented on the record. The track was recorded back in the days when the sun shone much brighter, the sky was deeper, and the desire to dance was tireless. The power and force of the hard house sound are complemented by the desperate vocals of Vera, a young vocalist from Rostov-on-Don who participated in the recording of PPK's first album. '21st Century', August 1999, is not about the millennium at all, rather about the feelings of freedom and space that open up to us every day. Elevating dancefloor pizzicatos, concise vocoder, stating the presence of the 21st century, and sound effects, like a light nostalgia for the early years of mass dance madness, don't let us forget where all this came from. If you haven't noticed, we are already in the future. 'I Have a Dream', February/March 2000 - another confirmation of the monumentality of the PPK sound being promoted. Many electronic musicians around the world have referred to the historic speech of Martin Luther King, which became an ode to humanity, brotherhood, and tolerance. It already resembles variations of classic jazz themes. A consolidation of what has been achieved. 'Resurrection'. An anthem, perhaps the most accurate definition of this track. The work was done in March/April 2000 specifically for the Kazantip summer festival. A rare occasion when we can hear Pimenov's cold voice. Latin percussion and thick bass create a very groovy mood, sharp pizzicatos only prepare us for the climax. Pimenov's life-affirming declamation on the beat and the unexpected broken rhythm in the middle of the track 'bring to the mass consciousness' For listening outdoors. 'I Need a Rhythm 2001' - January 2001, another work featuring Vera, who remained true to herself and sings just as desperately J. With this track, we can only follow the onslaught and onslaught of the PPK sound, ready to sweep everything in its path. The track was released as a separate single in the fall of 2001. 'Love Without Borders' is a beautiful composition based on the work of Valery Siver. The magical, unearthly vocals of Lena ZuMalta reach transcendental heights and remain in our memory as a feeling of flight. In this track, you will be surrounded by Polyakov's panoramic sound attacks, which seem ready to enchant the listener. An insanely romantic track with a very sharp emotional break. 'Hey DJ 2001' (trance mix) - a continuation of the story that began back in '99. It's worth remembering that this track topped the MP3.COM charts, surpassing Madonna in January 2001, that this track became PPK's first European release, released by the Dutch company Dance Grooves in February of the same year, and that this work became the B-side on the Resurrection single, released in Russia in the spring of that memorable 2001. 'Resurrection'. A reworking of the music from Edward Artemyev's film 'Siberiade'. The most successful Russian track of all time. Perhaps there is nothing more to add. Three radio versions - Russian Trance, Love Without Borders, and Resurrection complete the picture. 'Robots Outro' - a delightful chill-out version of Resurrection, beautiful and sensual, becomes PPK's signature on the work done. 'Watching our album come together over such a long time is truly a special experience, but we can see with great pleasure that our work over all these years is turning into a whole, to become a good basis for new discoveries and achievements. The mission of this work is to bring trance sound to the masses across our beautiful and vast country.' Well, the work is done, but the story doesn't end there. At present, Polyakov continues to affirm his sound through PPK Russian trance remixes. Recently, he has remixed Tillman Uhrmacher's 'On The Run' (Direction Records/Sony Music UK), which reached 16th place on the UK Singles Chart and for the group 140 BPM 'I Love You', which has already been played on European dance floors and is ready to become an excellent soundtrack for the upcoming summer. The second European single from PPK 'Reload' is already loaded into the promo machine of Perfecto Records and is waiting for its time to signal the start of a new chapter in PPK's career. It is worth noting that Pimenov may soon become the most flying DJ in Russia. The geography of his performances can impress anyone - the Netherlands, Finland, Greece, Great Britain, Cyprus, Ireland, Australia, Japan, the UAE, and, of course, Ukraine and Russia. Keep an eye out if you want to follow his movements. Nevertheless, he does not forget to return to Moscow every Wednesday at 10 p.m. to start his weekly two-hour mix show on Dynamite FM radio. Remaining an independent artist, PPK are ready on May 15, 2002, to find out the winner in the Single of the Year category of the Russian RECORD awards, where they are nominated with their single Resurrection.
