There are a lot of interesting guys right now if you want to dig a bit. In the new school, it is all about our friends DJ Boora, Smuff Da QuizВ (from Ukraine), Infinite Ways, KOS and MadChe.

KOVSH BEATS: I feel like there are not enough Russian beatmakers to highlight, but there are definitely titans of this business such as Vladi (Kasta), Ligalize of Legalniy Bizne$$ Times, Sir-J (DOB Community) and of course Mikhey, given that he wrote the music for the best Bad B albums together with DJ LA. Speaking of new names, I really like Aalon$e and. I respect GOST family, Krovostok, soviet pop music and Russian pop bands of the 90вЂ™s. RAUMSKAYA: My friends: Long Arm, El Ched and Gillepsy. From Europe: Lewis Parker, Looptroop, Wun Two, Klaus LayerвЂ¦ we could say more.Д«MB SPACEKID: Just speaking about sound I would highlight Lapti, Aleph, Pixelord, and DZA. KOVSH BEATS: We could list them endlessly! In the American scene IвЂ™ll name the first ten who come to mind: DJ Premier, Marley Marl, MF DOOM, J Dilla, Beastie Boys, Erick Sermon, Pete Rock, Madlib, K-Def, and Q-Tip. But forever the best for me are Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston and Diana Ross. All-purpose Machinedrum, ideal Cashmere Cat, ingenious frenchman Mr. RAUMSKAYA: DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn - thanks to these guys IвЂ™ve found my own way. These stay forever.Д«MB SPACEKID: ThereвЂ™s a lot but, I could highlight three as my basis: Fly Lo, J Dilla and Rick Rubin. LAPTI: From the very beginning I was inspired by DJ Premier, Dilla and Madlib. Who are your personal producer heroes from Europe and the USA? ThereвЂ™s less and less space for bass left. Petersburg has taken over with 4/4 beat, and this fact doesnвЂ™t please me, frankly. RAUMSKAYA: The best is having an open-minded and kind-hearted audience and seeing their reaction. LAPTI: I think that everythingвЂ™s fine anywhere when youвЂ™re with your friends. What is best and worst about clubs and the scene in Russia? Seems like we have that kind of spirit.Д«MB SPACEKID: ItвЂ™s because thereвЂ™re no patterns or foundations: everythingвЂ™s very fickle, and those who float on creative work have to experiment. Whether itвЂ™s jazz or punk, thereвЂ™s always some kind of schizo element in it. KOVSH BEATS: Experimental music has always been loved in our country. And strange as it may seem, we also have ghettotech sounds here and now thereвЂ™s much more sub bass in it. ThatвЂ™s why a newer more bass-heavy music became a partВ of peopleвЂ™s tastes at once and started to resound in clubs. RAUMSKAYA:В In Russia, hip-hop has made roots and passed into our bloodstreams a long time ago. Petersburg resident BMB Spacekid explain the meaning of Eastern Bloc-rocking beats.Д«OILER ROOM: Why do you think Russia has taken to experimental hip hop beats so well? Below, St Petersburg grime, ambient and footworking fanatic Raumskaya, and Muscovites Kovsh Beats, Lapti and the boogie-inflected St. To set the tone for our trip, we asked our Russian participants to explain their passions for beats, and give us some musical coordinates for whatвЂ™s to come. ThatвЂ™s why weвЂ™re taking two legends of connoisseurвЂ™s hip hop вЂ“ the daddy of jazz-sampling, ultra-finessed rhythm production DJ Premier, and the masked one-man cryptic crossword DOOM вЂ“ out to meet, perform and collaborate with some of the hottest, oddest talent in Russia.

Off-kilterВ hip hop beats have always been a big driver of Boiler Room shows, and thereвЂ™s something about the staggered syncopation and building-filling bass of the abstract beat scene that has had strange resonances in the ex-Soviet territories. So when it came to deciding on the next stop in our Stay True Journeys with BallantineвЂ™s Scotch Whisky, it didnвЂ™t take much discussion to decide on a return trip. But the moment we got out there we were hooked, with two more broadcasts in 2014, an outrageously great Upfront mix from the Gost Zvuk collective earlier this year, and a short documentary about our discoveries there. It took Boiler Room a while to get to Russia to do a show: our first was in July last year.
