Vodka, crude oil, meticulously engineered self-stacking dolls: Russia is famous for a lot of things. Floor-filling techno is not one of them. It’s a good job, then, that one of the top Russian producer Tesla has never been driven by musical convention. His brand style is a potent reminder that DJs across Europe should be grateful for such deviance.
Tesla, real name Filipp Lozovsky, comes from a small town in Russia called Krymsk. His career received its ignition when one of his early tracks was picked up and supported by Paul Van Dyk. It was the break Tesla had been waiting for. Since then, his progressive approach to techno has inspired a string of successful releases on heavyweight techno labels like Toolroom, Deeperfect, IAMT and 1605 – the label of legendary techno guru Umek.
Pioneering techno from a small town in Russia? With Tesla it was only ever a matter of time.
