The final broadcast of 2009. It’s been a great year for electronic music, particularly the stuff of a “darkfloor” nature. To see off the year in style, for our 52nd showcase, direct from the Russian Federation: Vadz.

SHOWCASE
Vadz born Vadim Savchenko in Taganrog, South of Russia in 1980. Whilst growing up Vadz found he could express himself with painting and photography and by age 15 had realised that in music he’d found his calling. At the very beginning,

there were no parties, records or techno; I was just looking for a way to express my non-ordinaries

It was his non-standard view of simple things that provided his conception of musical originality and independence. That was the beginning. From school discos, to local parties, it led to records, synthesizers and sending hordes of demos, to releases, and gigs all over Russian and beyond.

Currently Vadz has 4 physical releases (Television Records and LaBrat Audiochemicals) and an ever growing amount of digital releases (WIDE, Digital Distortions, Militant Science etc…, check his discography). His releases are supported by loads of Russian techno DJs, as well as international names like Dave Clarke, Radioactive Man, Mark Hawkins, Shelley Parker.

Vadz is devoted to (as he describes it) fat ‘proper’ techno and electro styles that use to rock the dancefloors in late 90s and early zeros. No shuffle-trank minimal, no youngsters-on-speed schranz.

In late 2007 Vadz set up the Russian-Techno.com netlabel to show the world the power and quality of his native producers’ output with good, original and interesting music.

**** crisis, boycott the industry! Free music distribution is the only future – that’s what we believe in!
