Who am I?

Writing about yourself is never easy so I'm not going to bother with silly anecdotes, just simply describe my addiction to music. Music for me is the best drug ever created and has always been inextricably part of my life. After discovering drum'n'bass back in '97 when I was just 13 years old, my head was opened up to the magnificent world of dance music. Initially I was into techstep; the dark and minimal form of drum'n'bass but then I switched to more intelligent and atmospheric forms, my passions are drumfunk and of course leftfield dnb. Since then I have discovered many different genres of electronic music. My relationship with drum'n'bass and jungle ended in the begging of 2006. Life is a very amazing thing and the way people influence each other is sometime just weird. Now comes the most interesting part of my story - the Dubstep part! I first discovered Dubstep sometime in December 2005 but didn't pay it much attention. Then in January 2006 my life was irrevocably changed because of a magnificent lady called Marry Ann Hobbs. I am of course talking about the seminal Dubstep Warz show. The impact of this show on my life simply cannot be measured. I never wanted to DJ at all but when I heard the vibe, the energy, the unstoppable flow of dubstep music, my skin covered with goose-pimples. In fact goose-pimples for me is the sign of sound perfection. I bought a few dubstep plates and finally started learning to DJ. Later, I decided to start a blog in my native language (Russian) strictly dedicated to dubstep music to spread the word. In July 2006 I stepped up pon decks for the first time and the whole thing started. So far I've played at a number of events in Kiev including the first ever dubstep party , 2 gigs in Moscow (one alongside Loefah) and in Saint-Petersburg and I hope that the list of cities will continue to grow... At the moment my aim is to spread the dubstep virus, infect as many people as possible and never give up when faced with difficulties. My moto is the following: "MUSIC IS A JOURNEY AND LIFE IS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ALONG THE WAY" Intelligent geezers, dubsteppers and all good people: big up your chests! I love you music addicts :)
