BOOGY CREW. It is very hard to define style of his works, it is very
diverse - from a depressive trip-hop to a merry brake-beat, and you may
see this if you listen to his remixes.
Lately DJ RAM works closely with so - called "alive" bands. Most of all
DJ Ram is interested in working with guitar music. The most advanced
radio-stations broadcasted his works. These works include the
sensational remix of "Zabavi" ("Fun") by Mumiy Troll, almost chamber
remix of "Moloko I med" ("Milk and honey") by SPLIN, a merry break-bit
mix of the Zdob si Zdub's song "Ti menia ostavila" ("You have left me")
and a club remix of one of the latest Mumiy Troll's hits "Nevesta"
("Bride").
Lately DJ RAM cooperates with foreign labels as well. One of his works
is a remix for the "Nine" which have worked with such a guru of
electronic music as Alphaville. Right now DJ RAM is working with many
foreign musicians. Several European labels agreed to DJ RAM's making
remixes for them.
DJ RAM is constantly looking for new forms of music. For example, one of
his latest works a remix of Mumiy Troll's song "Devochka" ("Girl")
sounds purely symphonic. And in the remix for Zbod si Zdub fragments of
old Soviet cartoons were used.
DJ RAM also works at his own project in which he combines sampler sounds
with "alive" instruments. He invites musicians to perform at clubs with
such a program.
Since 2000 DJ RAM works with Western Labels. His works have already been
recorded in the USA, Canada, Switzerland and Germany. DJ RAM has worked
with such labels as Memento Materia, A Different Drum, Synthphony
Records, Intelligent Communications, HandHeldHalo Productions.
After three successful remixes an American label Synthphony Records
decided to continue recoding of DJ RAM's remix album. The release of the
promo-single of this album is planned in May 2001 and the release of
the album itself is planned in summer, 2001
At present time DJ RAM is one of the best experts of the remix's making
in Russia. His first professional remix was recorded at Russian
electronic studio "Solaris Station" in 1997, which was in a hot rotation
on XFM 107,9 (Ireland/Dublin).
