Vadz

DOWNLOAD PRESS-RELEASE

Vadim Savchenko, aka Vadz, was born in a small town Taganrog. South of Russia, in 1980. Since childhood, Vadim was involved in the arts and found his form of expression in painting and photography. At the very beginning, “there were no parties, records or techno; I was just looking for a way to express my inner self”. In 1995 Vadim realized that music is what he always wanted to live with.

“The first techno records i heard were the classics: Adam Beyer, Cari Lekebusch, Joey Beltram, Steve Stoll, Jeff Mills, Speedy J. And only after that i discovered Detroit and Chicago. Now, my second love in dance music is deep house. As for the private listening preferences, my background is quite obvious: Aphex Twin, Orbital, F.S.O.L., Autechre, Red Snapper, etc…”. As a DJ, first of all, Vadim is a true music addict with an excellent taste. Functional techno with crazy sounds, sci-fi electro, hypnotizing deep house for the peaktime, or abstract hip-hop, melodic IDM and even skweee for the afterhours – everything is possible when he’s at the decks. “I don’t hunt for zero day tunes; I carefully chose the records for my box. The music should have a grain of soul put into it by the author, it should be smartly built and make people funky”. As for technology – Vadz is still loyal to vinyl and his collection includes a lot of really hard to find records. He also uses modern technologies – software and MIDI-controllers as a DJ. Since 2003, Vadim has played on numerous techno gigs – big international festivals to small clubs, all over the Russia and Ukraine: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Perm, Kharkov, Simferopol… woods, sand bars, fields, abandoned facilities – every venue, where legal or illegal, but good party with proper music take place. In his hometown, Taganrog, he’s a resident in “Russian Tea” bar. He also organizes parties in other venues locally, techno and house.

Vadz is open for bookings, but please mind – the flights and visa expenses could be high (big thanks to Aeroflot and stupid Russian government).
