Клубные российские · 22.11.2004

At the upcoming tech-vert, all regular guests of the Phlegmatic Dog will be greeted with two special live performances. The well-known Dr.Scissors, who is already famous among Moscow techno music fans, will come with a new program, and the Moscow project Moorush will also present its freshest compositions for the dance floor.

Dr.Scissors
The musical career of Dr.Scissors (Pino Grzhibovski) began in 1979, when he started recording his experiments with synthesizers and analog sequencers on magnetic tape. Fifty copies of his first recording circulated among German electronic music fans. From 1980 to 1988, Dr.Scissors was a keyboardist in various projects (Rentryd, Zero Life, Mecanique Marine, Senseless Symmetry), and 1989 marked the start of Pino's studio work and his first live set. In 1994, his works were first released on techno compilations, and his first maxi-single came out (label Superstition Records, Hamburg). At the same time, Pino began collaborating with Roger C. in the project Cracked. A year later, Cracked performed their first live set at the Alzheimer club (Frankfurt), with Dr.Scissors also playing a live set at the Prison Rave (Frankfurt), and in collaboration with Mike Knapp (aka Xpando) at the Stargate Rave in Los Angeles. In 1996, Pino, along with performances (Force Inc. Party, etc.), worked on television and also released 2 releases on East/West Records and Electrolux. The following year, he became a resident of the Ostklub (Frankfurt), performed at the No Ufos rave and Love Parade '97, and continued collaborating with Xpando. In 1998, Dr.Scissors played at numerous parties including Serotonin Records Party, Temple Records Party (both New York), Love Parade, No Ufos (Berlin), as well as visiting Miami Beach, Munich, Zurich with both DJ and live sets, and made his debut performances in Moscow, where he played at A-Club, Ermitage, Jazz-Cafe, Chance, and performed a live set on radio "Station 106.8". Releases that year included work on labels Motor Music, Polydor, Elektrolux, ASR-Record, and Hooj Choons. In 1999, Pino released his first full-length album (label Electrolux), wrote his first soundtrack for the ballet "Romeo and Juliet", worked as a sound designer for the theater production of "Cheshire Cat", lectured at the Design University in Karlsruhe on using computers for music creation and digital audio synthesis, and performed live sets in Germany, Vienna, and Salzburg. Several of his tracks were included in the soundtrack for the film Straight Shooter. In 2000, Dr.Scissors released several records on Aural Satisfaction Records, toured Russia extensively (in Moscow, Chelyabinsk, and Yekaterinburg), appeared on Studio One radio, Radio E (Yekaterinburg), "Station 107.0", as well as on the MTV and Muz-TV channels. In 2001, he toured Japan, performing on both radio and in Italy. Simultaneously with his performances, Pino continually works as a sound designer at various exhibitions.

Yura Murash is one of those musicians whose arrival is inextricably linked to the energetic invasion of club culture in Russia in the early '90s. However, his musical journey began much earlier – as a child, he studied piano in a music school and even sang in a children's choir. He soon became interested in the first personal computers that emerged at that time. It turned out that he simply combined what interested him most in life from the start: music and computers. In 1991, Murash, together with Volodya Ladinsky (aka Artego), created t.a.n.d.e.m. At that time, it was a dance duet, but few people know about it now. It is only known that they used quite unusual electronic music for their performances, which was not easy to find back then. Thus, in 1993, after meeting the Tallinn group "MARS", they decided to engage in musical experiments themselves. Murash wrote his first track in 1994. From 1995 to 1996, Murash worked at the cult magazine "Ptuch", which was a good opportunity to communicate with people who significantly influenced the development of electronic music and the club movement in Russia. It was during this time that he met his future partner in the label Art-Tek Records, musician and friend Roman Belavkin, who became better known to many as Solar X. Their common interest in musical experiments brought them together, although at that time they were just friends. In May 1999, Roma Belavkin, who founded the label Art-Tek Records back in 1996, invited Murash to jointly head the label. Since then, Murash has mostly focused on the release of Russian experimental electronics while getting to know and communicating with his future musician friends Lazyfish, Ёлочные Игрушки, Alexandroid, Mewark, and many others. This time became fertile ground for his own musical growth. Production work did not hinder the release of his records. Starting in 1999, Yura began to release on various labels. His tracks appear on the Riga musicians and poets compilation "Orbit". His house tracks were released on vinyl and CD on German labels Trapez and Force Tracks. He made alternative remixes for the groups Bi-2, Seti, and Smyslovye Gallyutsinatsii. In mid-2003, Murash began working with singer Olga Kurt. Their project, the name of which is still kept secret, promises to turn into a joint record in 2004.
