Hi!
I'm a dj since 1999. I'm from Russia. I moved to Yekaterinburg (Ural region, between Europe and Asia) in 1997 and I was immediately caught by various styles of electronic music I never heard before as I lived in a very remote area in the far north of the country. By 1999 I clearly preferred breakbeat-oriented drum and bass among other styles. When I went to one of the night clubs called Lyuk ("Hatch" in English) I realised that I wanted to play that music. Lyuk was a citadel of underground club life in the city, a sort of a pattern for further clubs. After Lyuk closing in 2003 a number of new places for clubbing started to emerge gradually, and I had gigs in a majority of them through the years. I also had a number of gigs in many other cities of Russia: Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Tyumen, Orenburg, Omsk and Saint Petersburg among others. In 2003-2005 I turned to some pop-oriented drum and bass but soon I became disappointed by absence of any actual evolution in this area and turned back to breakbeat jungle and old school in 2005 and I adhere to this until now. I participate in a number of local jungle/drum and bass/dubstep/downtempo/hip hop club venue series at the moment and I was running some events by myself. I play 1 to 3 times a month typically.
My exclusive micro cassette mix saw the light in November 2008 as a part of "Ezhtape" project launched by mighty Tyumen guys from "EZH-prom" group (see ezhprom.com). The cassettes are available free at EZH-prom club venues or through participating djs. In addition, the most lucky boys and girls get cassette players equipped with built-in loudspeaker.
In summer 2010 a new local society was born called "SPECIAL REQUEST" (http://specialrequest.posterous.com/) - aiming at promoting diverse d&b styles free of mainstream stereotypes - leftfield, intelligent, old skool, experimental, abstract, micro, deep, jazzy, original tech step, drumfunk, sci-fi, ethnic, etc.
I prefer various styles of smart drum&bass - leftfield, deep/minimal, atmospheric, drumfunk, microfunk, jungle, intelligent, dark&techy, industrial, jazzy, ambient, idm-ish, etnic, experimental, etc. Typically I mix 90s stuff with later things. I think it doesn't matter how old a particular record is, it just should have its own concept and flavour.
