Bio
Yura Moorush is one of those musicians, whose appearance is closely connected with the advent of club culture in Russia at the beginning of 90s, although he's started studying music many years before that - in his childhood while he's been playing the piano in a music school and even sang in a choir.
Later, when the his first Amiga computer had appeared, he's became interested in computers. It turned out that he was fond of two things that his life would later be connected with - music and computers.
In 1991 Moorush together with Vladimir Ladinsky (aka Artego) has invented t.a.n.d.e.m. At that time it was a dance duo, and now the only thing that is well-remembered about it is that they have been used very unusual electronic music in their performances, which was very hard to find in Russia that time. In 1993, having met the Mars band from Tallin, they've decided to experiment with music themselves. And his first tracks moorush had made in 1994.
In 1995 and 1996 Moorush had been working in the cult Russian magazine Ptyuch, and meet a lot of people who's influenced the Russian electronic music scene and club culture. At the same time he's met Roman Belavkin (aka Solar X), who became his close friend later and a partner in running the Art-Tek label. They have got united because of their interests in experimental music.
In May, 1999 Solar X, who had set up Art-Tek Records back in 1996, has offered moorush to run the label together. Since that time moorush was mostly busy releasing Russian experimental electronic music, and right during that period he has met his friends musicians Lazyfish, SCSI-9, Alexandriod, EU, Mendelayev, Mewark and many others. This was a fertile field for his own creative work.
While working as a producer, he'd started to release his own music, too. His tracks have appeared on a compilation "Orbita" together with works of poets and musicians from Riga, Latvia. He's released house music on Trapez and Force Tracks (Germany) and has made some remixes for Russian mainstream bands Bi-2, Seti and Sense Hallucinations.
BTW, literary in Russian "moorush" means a little ant.
