Deepmix

DeepMix.ru webcasts live and recorded deep techno and deep house DJ sets from Moscow, Russia. Available as a preprogrammed mp3 stream or a pick and choose list of mp3 files to download, DeepMix.ru web radio focuses on the less commercial electronic music styles rarely heard anywhere else. A non-profit project, the radio remains advertizing and talk free.

The radio opened in 2002 as an extension of a series of weekly webcasts from the Moscow record store OboAndHobos.com. Similar music tastes combined a loose team of people from the local internet and night clubbing industries with an idea to share uncommon music to a broader audience. The web allowed to bypass the highly restricted Russian AM / FM medium and broadcast worldwide.

Initially a larger group of Russian DJs also inviting international guests to play live, DeepMix.ru becomes a more compact team in 2006, with artists Andrey Pushkarev, Dmitry Izhevski, Gorje Hewek and program manager Dmitry Zaginailov.

Broadband internet connection allows them to open their own studio in a Moscow apartment, the “Kitchen Studio”. When the studio moves to a new home, later in 2006, the name changes yet again, becoming “Cartoon Studio” till 2008. Subsequent moves continue the renaming tradition: “Cotton Studio” from 2008 to 2010, “Sapovnela Studio” from 2010 to present day.

While the studio locations and names change, the radio retains its 2002 name and web site, DeepMix.ru, and continues to specialize on a fine selection of music from the lesser-known techno subgenres assembled in masterful DJ sets.
