Andrey was born in 1979 in the city of the first salute, Oryol. His love for music caught him early in childhood when he listened to it on his grandfather's old reel-to-reel tape recorder and on records, spinning them on typical household players of that era. This love did not pass later when Andrey went to study at a music school, taking accordion classes. Later, befriending a computer, he began experimenting with Cubase and Sonic Foundry Acid. Thus, his own "tracks" began to emerge, some of which were heard in 1998 on the electronic music program "Proektsiya," which aired on the Oryol radio station "Express." At the same time, Andrey collected music on CDs, creating a personal archive. He actively participated in city events dedicated to electronic house music. In 1999, he joined the jury of the "Battle of DJs" project, which was held for the first time in the city and then successfully repeated annually. In 2000, Andrey played his first set on vinyl turntables and recorded his first mix. He fully got behind the turntables in 2003, and that year also began collecting music on vinyl. In 2004, he moved to Moscow. He played at after-parties in Open-cafe, was a resident at the café "Ogurets," which became famous for its "Domashniye Subbotniki." He delighted audiences with his music at trendy parties in clubs Gorod, Red Way, "ParaBar", "Amsterdam", "Plastilin", at after-parties in Diamond Hall, Krazy Girl, and "Utyosov." He did not miss out on tours - St. Petersburg (SeaClub), Kharkiv ("Zhivot"), Bryansk ("Garazh"), Smolensk (Spider), Nizhny Novgorod (Matrix), Lipetsk ("Lemonade Joe"), Vologda ("Globus"). He played on the same stage with Nick Hodgkins, Ashley Casselle, Ben Lost, Jeremy P.Caulfield, as well as many well-known Russian DJs and musicians. Currently, he is a resident at Minibar, where he hosts author Mondays, and together with Arkady Air and Lesha Elf (A3), he organizes SLiCK! parties at Paparazzi Bar.
