About Me

PRO-TEZ records is a robotic music vessile creature for the young and forward thinking uberdroids.It has been synthesized by Ed Karapetian and Anton Kubikov of SCSI-9.Maxim Milyutenko also joined our team ,we call him the Grim Reaper of sound design.In 2000 Anton and Maxim took their equipment together and built their own studio. In a year Maxim joined Kubikov's most advanced electronic project SCSI-9. They presently produce underground dance music, downtempo and minimal tracks and remixes. In 2002 they recorded their first soundtrack for a theater staging at one of Moscow's drama theatres. In autumn 2002 they played their first live show in Moscow. On November 9th, 2002, SCSI-9 played their first live at the famous Fabric club in London, UK. In September 2003 SCSI-9 played their first Russian live gig outside Moscow at the Privilege club in Chelyabinsk, and now continue touring Russia with live shows. Since then SCSI-9 played numerous live gigs in European clubs in London, Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Warsaw, Ljubljana, Madrid, Thessaloniki and on festivals, such as Transmediale (Berlin), Pulse (Moscow), Wilsonic (Bratislava), Dialog of 4 Cultures (Lodz/Poland), in Subotica (Serbia), Athens and on Monegros in Spain, together with Richie Hawtin, Magda and Troy Pierce, Gui Borrato and Matias Aguayo,Lawrence,Superpitcher,etc..ED KARAPETYAN was born in Moscow in 1977 and moved to Los Angeles in 1998, where he went to school to pursue his dream to become a filmmaker, but in 2003 Ed and his old time friend Anton Kubikov of SCSi-9 (Kompakt) decided to set up an international electronic music record label PRO-TEZ RECORDS. It was launched in 2005 and became first Russian /American exclusive Kompakt label. Now the record label is getting world wide recognition and with number of releases proved to be an exquisite music vessel for young and never heard before musicians.Ed also works at Amoeba Record store in Hollywood where he is deeply involved in electronic music department , keeps djing around LA and making music which will come out one day.The focus of Pro-tez Records is to work with a broad roster of artists who create a wide scope of innovative approaches toward minimal electronic music that is equally comfortable on the dance floor as in the living room. The label will explore the wide palette of microscopically intricate compositions that are based on the foundation of minimalist music and at the same time develop original ideas. It is all started in Moscow where the electronic music scene has been emerging since 1995.Now it is growing bigger than ever, where we found all this young forward thinking artists which have to be heard.After listening to numerous amount of demos we selected a wide catalog of fresh material .All soon to be out there for people to enjoy.
