Experimental Short Film. Music by Microwave.
Microwave is the alias of Bulgarian born producer Nikolay Seizov also known to the electronic music addicts of his homeland as DJ Zizo.
He fell into music at the tender age of five when he picked up a violin, which he quickly dropped judging it to be too heavy. Instead he decided to make use of his pre-pubescent voice and spent his childhood in classical choir. But he was no angel. He spent endless hours immersing himself in prehistoric video-games, subliminally absorbing vast quantities of binary sounds, which would later influence both his music development and his unnatural attraction to minimal sounds.
Before starting out as a club DJ he had been involved in his hometown’s club scene where he took his first steps in writing abstract electronic music. In early 2000 producing was pushed to the sideline in favor of the more exciting (he thought) life of a DJ. From the chill rooms of underground dance events where he perfected his moving style he quickly mixed his way into residencies at some of the most influential electronic music clubs in Sofia. He was everywhere: underground and mainstream, outdoors and indoors, at home and abroad, sharing the stage with top international players.
In the busy times of 2003, while unleashing his skill on dancefloors of Europe and the USA and making regular radio appearances on Radio France International, DJ-ing began to lose its appeal being such a limited method to expression of musical creativity.
In 2005 Microwave moved to Cambridge (UK) where he got busy cooking up sound waves in his bedroom again. The first accomplished track he produced accidentally got in to the hands of HorsePlay Records who immediately signed him and pressed a vinyl of his "The Sound Of No Good". The EP made waves on the globe’s dancefloors landing on the playlists of Phil Kieran, Extrawelt, Mark-Henning, Alex Smoke, MrC, Ewan Pearson and Chloe Harris.
So here’s the deal for 2008: you can expect to see Microwave getting busy on stage showcasing his new live set across Europe as well as collaborating in the studio with critically acclaimed producers Vector Lovers, Chloe Harris and Holmes Ives. You’d better be excited!
