Turbo
Recordings... LADA THAN A BOMB!!!!
Great moments in Russian art:
- April 15, 1869: Leo Tolstoy submits final installment of WAR
AND PEACE
- June 8, 1985: Mikhail Baryshnikov stars in the chronically underrated
WHITE NIGHTS
- September 6, 1997: French musician Jean Michel Jarre connects
directly to MIR spacestation during concert for 3.5 million in
Moscow
- January 16, 2006 Alexander Mikhailovitch Ovechkin scores what
is considered the greatest goal in NHL history against the
Phoenix Coyotes
- September 19,2006 Tiga receives copy of DESTROY by The Proxy,
mysterious young Russian artist
From the ashes
of the soviet empire, from the flames of history, rises THE PROXY.
Post 9/11 rave vibes cloaked in Muscovite angst. The future and
the past rolled up in one caviartastic sonic ICBM... InterContinentalBallisticaMazingtrack.
The proxy were discovered in the myspace, while Thomas Von Party
was listening to EVERY song on earth at once in the datasphere.
When his finely tuned Hotboy ears caught the shockwaves of the
opening tones of DESTROY... he felt the tension of Central Asia
released, and knew immediately, in fact he knew PRE-mediately to
contact THE DOVE. I received the binary files and listened in the
comfort of my A&Rmobile. It was immediately clear that Von
Party had detected an acoustic WMD (Weapon of Mass DOPEstruction)
and that if handled correctly these 6.55 minutes of aural Xanadu
could lead to untold riches. The stage was set. Oliver Interactive
was put on the case: a contract sent by fax to the The Interior
Ministry Of Getting Down based in Vladivstok, and soon, THE PROXY
were signed to Turbo.
The "hot wax" you
now hold in your hands is the debut dance single by THE PROXY aka Yevgeny aka "the
Russian Kid". 3 tracks of nouveau pub-techno in a Moscow stylee. Already
being championed by DJs as shockingly diverse as EROL ALKAN AND 2Manydjs, the
lead single DESTROY might be the best Russian song ever made.
From Creamfields in Argentina
(where I performed for almost 350 000 0000 people) to Cocoon Club in Frankfurt
this has been one of the biggest records of the night. Just buy it, it makes
your life so much easier; in fact if you just had like 4 other records like
this and then just played some of your own old hits, you could totally base
a career around that and just keep playing that way always.
Not much is known about the
enigmatic PROXY or how he learned to drop his KGBeats, vague rumors exist about
his being raised by Sturgeon on the Caspian...all we do know for sure is that
he has a red rotary telephone and loves Plushenko.
As if that wasn't all enough:
Turbo has secured an exclusive RIOT IN BELGIUM remix for the b-side. An incredible
interpretation that adds that special "let's drive our car off the cliff" Aussie
vibe that we have come to love and fear. Be warned, this mix will literally
turn whatever party you are playing into the most magical night of your life
(professionally). I can't believe this track is yours FREE when you buy the
other side of the record.
I MUST be going crazy… But
before I do...remember it's time to feel the surge of an unbridled, voracious
new market economy translated into neo-rave pub-techno.
Chekkhov it out...you wont be Dostoevskapointed!!!!!
I think Yevgeny said it best:
"I am afraid to be late! But necessarily there I shall!"
Enjoy forever
