From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Iskra (Russian) means Spark, was a political newspaper of Russian socialist emigrants established as the official organ of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. The first edition was published in Stuttgart on December 1,1900.

ISKRADISCO! is an open musical community based in Moscow, Russia. Founded in 2004, the project started with a remix for "Rechka" main theme in renowned film "Svoi" - a mellow tone with Russian ethnic voicing and groovy down-tempo beats, released by Slovo with original soundtrack.
Having extensive DJ experience, ISKRA followed the way of many dj's reworking their favorite tunes to the modern conditions of club mixing. It all resulted into mash-ups, accapella remixes and re-edits (and recently official remixes) for Namosh, Quantic, Billy Idol, The Temptations, Arktic Monkeys, DM, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Donna Summer, Cake, Ashley Slater and Russian hit-makers like Mummiy Troll, Aukzion, etc.
Iskra put the music itself in front, and don't really care about stylistic or trend differences. Iskra bring back to clubs the spirit of street carnivals, passion of latin-music, rock'n'roll drive and funky grooving. Iskra perfomances combine dj's sets, live musicians and vocalists, while some of them simply interchange between turntables and instruments.
Meanwhile, the communtity is growing into a label of its own with an aim of producing variety of club styles (see blog for releases) and is running one of best freestyle nights in Moscow @ Kult Club, Bar 1171, THE MOST Club, Bonnie&Clyde Bar, Solyanka, Dennis Simachev Bar and many more venues.
