Pavel Benov (Kigami)
Born on 30.07.1985 in Sofia(Bulgaria). His first steps in music start at 6 years of age when he started playing piano. First experiments were with his friends at home or in studios, playing mostly punk and hardcore.
Kigami starts his trip to electronic music at age of 16 when he made his first computer tune. After that he seriously got involved into computer synthesized music and started experimenting in lots of electronic styles such as DNB, IDM, Ambient, Breakbeat, Jazz, Industrial, Trip-Hop etc. Feeling the need to share his production with more people, he met Martin Qnkov aka Brokoli (Remurder) and both got involved into many underground gigs and performances. At 19 as a cofounder of Remurder crew, Kigami met Dragomir Taskov (Digital soul). They both got separated from Remurder and started producing DNB and DJing at various gigs of the major Bulgarian crews like H.M.S.U and Drumrollers, with some of the biggest names in DNB scene.
