B-Voice. In childhood, parents - geologists dragged little Vasya across various mountain peaks, forests, and other suspicious places where no human foot had trodden. Vasya grew up and became one of the most popular DJs in Moscow. Now, with the help of his tracks, he tries to add something to the life of the metropolis, something that is sorely lacking, especially in the hot summer: the beat of B-Voice's music transforms the dance floor into a cool evening forest brought from childhood memories. For his performances, B-Voice chooses the most tranquil, not lifeless music. Not just a rhythm to dance to, but something more. That's why even the seasoned bartenders at Mix club, who have seen and heard everything, approach Vasya after his set and say that that was great.
Midiots feat Webstars. Midiots is a project of Vasya B-Voice and Dima Feelgood, formed in 2002. Dumb Unit label director Jeremy P. Caulfield says that the release of the Midiots' record 'Traktorizm' was a turning point for the label and one of the loudest releases. Midiots' music, unlike B-Voice's solo work, predisposes one to joy and long nights of fun.
Webstars - this is Dima Feelgood and his old Siberian friend Dima Chuk. Together they play music from the 80s: electropop and synth. Once, two Dimas and one Vasya got together and started 'Twisting the Knobs,' which is how the joint track came about.
Simulacrum - a project of the former drummer of the bands Freken Bok and Shvakh, as well as the pop collective Malina. Egor Yurkevich once decided that he could not fully realize himself in live music. He wanted to be responsible for all the instruments in the composition so that each part would be his, and in a live band, this is almost impossible. Therefore, he decided to delve into electronics. After quite long experiments in various styles, Yegor turned to techno.
The Killahertz project has been around since 2003. Its author has a rich biography: studying in Taiwan, working in a state institution, playing bass guitar in the institute band, several years of drum and bass. Eventually, step by step, performances in various clubs, several releases, popularity, and many techno subgenres (dub, deep, minimal). Egor Sukharev - Killahertz experimented with many styles but settled on techno, as he considers it the broadest field for experimental activities.
Guttersnipe aka Cast - a talented, rapidly progressing musician. In a short period of time, Denis has managed to perform on the same stage as musicians such as Laurence (Sten), Sash Ring (Apparat), Mike Paradinas (M-ziq), which speaks for itself. He released the album 'Are Teek L. Cast EP' on Peacetechnologies (in collaboration with V135 Recordings). For Denis, techno reflects boredom, the suffocation of the club, and endless home gatherings. His music is a bit paranoid, a bit nervous, a bit fantastical. 'What is called IDM is melodies inspired by living nature, while minimal techno is purely urban culture music,' explains Denis.
Sil – Moscow DJ Kirill Silantyev, organizer of the creative movement Nervmusic, was once a resident at Luch and Territoria. By writing a track for the NakedLittleBeat compilation, Kirill finally decided not only to play but also to compose music.
Mujuice - a virtuoso Moscow electronic musician, whose delicate, sensitive, and nervous music has been duly appreciated by listeners and critics. Mujuice is a music microsurgeon. His techno tracks, composed like a mosaic of thousands of small pieces, are incredibly hypnotic. Yet they lack the numbness typical of minimalism, replaced by a frozen flow of Moscow's nightlife. In September 2004, the debut album of Roma Litvinov (Mujuice) - SuperQueer was released on V135 Recordings.
Lazzich – Sergey Lazarev was born in the city of Elektrostal near Moscow. Neither the working outskirts nor his education as a nuclear physicist could prevent him from finding his true calling - composing electronic music. In 2000, Sergey found and repaired an old Soviet synthesizer 'Maestro.' For some time after that, due to the lack of a home computer, Lazzich experimented with live 'devices,' gradually becoming widely known in Moscow's electronic music circles. In 2004, the album Lazzich 'Birds in My Home' was released on Anton Kubikov's Pro-Tez label.
SCSI-9 - one of the few Russian electronic projects that enjoys real popularity in Europe. SCSI-9 is Anton Kubikov and Maxim Milyutenko; their music is both underground and danceable, as evidenced by numerous releases in Russia and abroad.
Das – techno, or as the musicians themselves say, an ArtTechno project. Das is three adult musicians, friends and like-minded people, experimenting in the studio in their spare time.
