When I was teenager I listened hip-hop, such as Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Nas, Mobb Deep, Notorious B.I.G, De La Soul and more… And one moment I got into electronic music.

Soon i started to make regular parties called Freakadelica and invited Terence :Terry:, Kevin Griffith, Varoslav, Jozif, James What. Same time I began to curate of RTS.FM in St.Petersburg.
