Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hi people. My name is Artem. I'm electronic musician and sound designer from Saint Petersburg, Russia. I write synthwave and retro-influenced music. I fond of vintage synth sound and putting some distortion on it. I try to find that catchy tune and put the heavy drums and supersaw synths around. I would say if you like not dreamy synthwave but more rocky, solid, cyberpunky you should listen to my releases.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Before I all started, I had faced with Dance With The Dead music. Back in 2014. I thought they do pretty good stuff and started to jamming over the vintage synths. Funny thing that later in 2016 and 2017 I shared the stage with the guys and it was fantastic, we became kinda friends and I've never imagined it before. So after that I've listened tons of old and modern synthy bands and artists. I can name Carpenter Brut, Danger, Hello Meteor as my favourites.
What´s new right now?
I plan to release brand new EP. It will be a new side of my view on the own music. Synths will not completely disappear but It's going to be more power, more groovy and eclectic. I love to play live shows, so I think it will be some in the nearest future, here in Saint Petersburg, because I love to play here.
