Russian menace

At the end of 2006, Turbo released a 12" of a - according to Tiga at that point - promising new maximalist, who originated from Russia and went by the name Proxy. His track 'Destroy' become an absolute banger that every himself respecting, maximalist-spinning DJ just had to drop in his sets.

This kid has an illustrious aura around him which he owes to his extremely dark and menacing trademark sound. I'm inclined to compare his tracks to horror movies, or maybe horror musicals - a genre which I've just invented. Whatever it is, it can't be bad, since this original sound makes him stand out in the crowd, kind of like Booka Shade, but a, err, Grim Reaper version of Merziger and Kammermeier.

Anyway, I bring you kids joyful news, because Proxy is working on an album, which is due to be released this fall. And no, I haven't stolen a copy out of his studio. What I did find is a piece of the first single, named 'Raven'(what a cheerful name...), of this yet unfinished album on YouTube.

Not bad, ey? It seems to me though, as if those kids on the front row are on a thousand drugs. Maybe it was mandatory to buy speed in order to take a leak...
