source_rec Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) The contemporary russian scene has recently remembered Solar X, one of it's more elusive and prolific innovators, albeit for a very short time. A computer scientist by day, Russia's very own answer to Richard by night: Here's a great article written about his label Art-Tek and some of the stories he had to share (including how he stayed with RDJ at his Elephant & Castle place): https://mixmag.io/article/186630 It's in russian, but it should be intelligibly translatable to english via google page translate. I've recently started listening to a lot of his stuff and I can't help but be very impressed simply due to how shallow and terrible electronic music from Russia has been for the most part. A real gem of a find for myself.
