He started being interested in music in 2000 and the first successful music writing efforts are dated 2003. Mostly, those were the tracks in ambient, electronic, experimental style etc.

Hailing from Novosibirsk, Russia, Alexander Smirnov a.k.a. Shifted Reality (Marc Raccoon, Colibri, Substanze, Klain & Colibri) began producing music without a formal music education at age 15.

In the beginning of year 2006 Alex focused on refining his style to produce better quality tracks. The new and first finished track from Shifted Reality &151; «Fever», was created in 7 days, and has a unique modern sound in it. Inspired by Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz and Andy Moor, Alex produced a track with a very emotional and uplifting bassline, groovy percussions with tons of effects and a sophisticated trance melody. The track was noticed by Andre Tanneberger (ATB) and Alex was lucky to appear on his new compilation called «The Dj In The Mix 3». The track was also played on different radio stations and got support from many DJs, such as Adam White & Andy Moor.

The next track with famous vocalist Tiff Lacey was called «On This Day» and due to its commercial sound had a great success. It had a large support from famous producer and DJs like Miika Kuisma, Pedro Del Mar, ATB, Neoblizz and others. After that Shifted Reality produced a few tracks in his renovated style characterized with the same progressive trance sound combined with vocal shouts and cuts. His track «Summer Dawn» got a huge support from different DJs. Above & Beyond played this track in their TATW radio show and Kenneth Thomas announced it as the best track of the month in his radio show.

The passion for electronic music had spontaneous character at first. There were still no special priorities in styles of music, and especially there were no questions of its creating. But everything is changing. The first experiments with a sound have begun in 97. The «Anton Lanski» project has appeared approximately in Y2K. Now Anton Lanski is an existential necessity, it is music which is created by means of such trivial musical instruments of modern mankind as heart, hands and a computer tools. Modern technologies give rise cyber arts. Fractions of mood define stylistics and direction of music. The impurity of deep sound, techno forms and different experiments constitute the music of Anton Lanski.

Eclectic Sound was established in 2006. The founder and composer is Andrew Starodumov who lives in Izhevsk. The Andrew?s acquaintance with electronic music began in 1999 along with records of night radio broadcasts. His musical life started after his purchasing of a PC in 2001. Now Andrew can?t imagine his life without music and writing of new tracks. His project is not limited to a number of members. Any musician who shares Andrew?s views can take part in it. The Eclectic Sound?s music is very different, it has no frames and it can?t be blended with other styles. Some of his tracks are a bit techy, some have trancy sound, and sometimes you can hear a real deep sound. He doesn?t like to make music in a particular style because he thinks music it?s something in your soul and it doesn?t matter how you call it.

Alexey Antonov also known as Bamfista is tempted by electronic, live analogue sound, the naturally born self-taught and experimental maniac. He began to express himself thru the sounds from the early childhood, participated in several groups playing guitar music. He had passion for electronic music when this movement in Barnaul had just begun.

Now, in the postmodernism era bamfista is looking for his unique sound and experimenting with different moods.

He plays live as an electronic musician (techno, electronic, experimental) or as a significant member of a siberian indie group «Pablo Escobar».

Waveform (Arsenjev Igor) &151; a musician from St. Petersburg, Russia. He loves warious techno music, and brings a nice deep and minimal tech stuff for us.
