DJ Grad, a former medical student and professional water polo player, also studied music before matriculating to electronic music in the early 1990’s in the world’s most northern city, Norlisk, in Russia. Inspired in part by by Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode as much as Techno DJ’s, by 1997, Grad was performing in Russia’s largest Dance Music Festival, KaZantip. By 1999, he had solidified his reputation as not only a DJ, but as a Music Promoter and festival organizer in Moscow for such events as, InStancia (in Gorky Park) and his popular radio show in Moscow, Radio 2000, where his name and fame spread to beyond Russia’s borders. In addition to residencies at such trendy Moscow Clubs like The Garage and XIII, Grad was also voted one of the top 5 sexiest DJ’s by Russian magazine, Ptyouch. Released in 2005, his first single, “Free Your Mind”, was a club smash as was his follow-up 2006 track, “Piano99”.
Latin meets Rock via Disco with a little tribal thrown in the mix underscores Grads deep influences DJ Grad will be embarking upon an American Tour this Fall with expat, DJ Jenny Lafemme in a reprisal of Grad’s triumphant 2000 Ibiza tour, “From Russia With Lust”.
Grad has also launched his new dance music show which is broadcast on Megapolis Radio and heard all over Russia. Grad will be opening for DJ Danny Tenaglia, one of the biggest superstars in world in the dance music today, on Sept. 25th.
To top it off, Grad was voted the #2 best Russian DJ in 2007 in the Russian music press.
DJ Jenny LaFemme, born and raised in Moscow, immigrated to Detroit with her parents in her late teens and was immediately seduced by American music. Soul, Hip-Hop and finally Electronica became this Russian beauty’s calling card. Promoting her own shows from her production company, Etomie, LaFemme has performed all over the world as well as producing Deep House events to discriminating club crowds from Detroit to Miami, Los Angeles To St Petersburg and all points in between. LaFemme is known for her almost anthropological musical mixture of sounds from the US, Europe and Asia into a minimalist swirl of beats and rhythms with exotic electronic lines that are irresistibly danceable.
Russia is now again a respected world power, and has embraced the western electronic genre and given it new life. Worldly, exotic and powerful, these new breed of Russian DJ’s such as Grad, LaFemme and KGBeats are as knowledgeable about classical music as they are about modern pop and electronic styles, making for intelligent, yet infectious Deep House- From Russia With Lust.
