MOX

MOX was established in 1998. Actually, it is a reflection of all music I've heard in my life, but naturally is very special reflection. When you've heard a lot, it's like you never listened to a music. You can create whatever you want. That's why I involved myself to plenty of projects - simply to release the inhibition of creating. Before MOX, there were some rock groups, where I played drums, but in 1998 electronic technologies captured me to give a birth to a such curious entity as MOX. The first track, which was honoured to appear in CD, was kinky "Bassett"- electronic lounge sketch (Tell Tschaikowski The News, Vol. 2, 2001, Exotica Lights). Then, the desire for releasing an album pointed me to find money (with a kind support of my friends) to issue the album "Insects"- (2002) on Exotica label (thanks to the head of the label - Andrey Borisov and fantastic soundengineer Nick Artamonov (deceased]. "Insects" - is a bizarre mixture of such styles as Warpwise electronica, dub, ambient, glitch, lounge, minimal, big -beat and sense of humour. ("Insects" is sold out everywhere now - but apparently it'll be re-released soon). Closer to the end of that year I began to collaborate with Netlenka (Ethnica Music Project) in order to make an joint album "OMUT" . OMUT - dark and eclectic alloy of AphexTwin-wise/dubby electronica from MOX with pagan/Slavic vocal stories about mermaids from Netlenka . Album’s co-producer Nick Artamonov has found such balance in which 2 elements (background and vocal) exist as if parallel lines, emphasizing each other and creating bizarre and attractive world. Album was released on Megaliner Records in 2004. In 2006 me and my friend Russian-German poet Alexander Delphinov (with support of my constant collaborator Sergey Karapetyan) - recorded rhythm n'poetry album MOX_DELPHINOV "Brave Old Wave - 2084" .The album's genres: noise-reggae, post-dub, huge-beat, punk-house, klezmer-R&B and brave old wave. The album was released by Monstaar Records in 2006
