After a series of fanzine hipster parties (always named in mysteriously bizarre way like “Kolya, ty ne s toy zhivesh’ – literally ‘Kolya, you are living with a wrong girl’) which always took place in the shittiest garrets and basements in central Moscow, a new wave of local music celebrities has emerged, famous not only for their dj talents but also ability to sustain five different parties in a row astir. Among them two former indie-rockers converted into Balearic-house djs – Eat My Beat Mr. Lenski.
Good news oozing from local hip-hop gurus. Take how2make as an example, this is a creative collaboration of various musicians, graphic designers, film producers and groupies. They are now ‘searching for a new sound and this sound is wonky’. Guys are planning to bring Hudson Mohawk as well as Flying Lotus to play in Moscow, besides they are busy with their own record-label which randomly fires decent hip-hop shots known well beyond Russia.
