The Hoax

Biography

DJ, music producer and true music lover. Went a long road from street rap culture to electronic music, always representing the underground side. Started around 2000 from hip hop beats produced with Pro Tracker running on AMIGA computer. About 2007 turned to electronic music, but one thing remain unchanged in his aesthetics: love to vinyl records. Always when it is possible plays from turntables. He’s a traditionalist focused on technique and skills. Partially is why he sticks to vinyl: turntables are the best (the only?) way to show your skills. Don’t like laziness and shortcuts - the artist should respect the audience and the art he represents. That is why he has no problem with carrying a heavy bag full of records for his gigs, and if it’s needed - he’ll bring his own turntables, just like the orchestra carrying its own instruments. He likes challenges and handling the obstacles - playing the synced set with no place for improvisation is a waste of time. He loves to build his sets properly, fitting each track into the time, place and atmosphere. Smashing hard 4/4 since first beat has no musical value for him. Individualist and creator, constantly looking for his own sonic niche by experiments both in the studio and on stage. His sets are the musical travel through dub/minimal/deep/dark/techno tracks, an emotional game on listeners feelings, which may always count for both - light melodies and heavy bass strikes.
