Smash

Russian DJs are mostly stewed in the club subculture - only a few of them make their way to pop stars. In the 90s, this was Groove, in the "zero" Smash came forward, who added the ability to mix the actual foreign with the talent of composing his own. A DJ writing dance hits with his own hand is still a rarity on the Russian stage. Therefore, Smash became widely known, despite its not very stellar appearance. Andrey Shirman was born on May 23, 1982 in Perm. At 18 he moved to Moscow, where he worked as a resident in several nightclubs. At first, he composed his sets of topical house compositions, diluted with adaptations of Soviet pop hits ("Margarita", "Flying Gait" etc.), no wonder characterizing his style as a retro house. This earned him the title of Best DJ of 2006. Then compositions of our own production appeared in the repertoire. The track "Moscow Never Sleeps" in 2007 became a hit on the dance floor of the "Diaghilev Project" club, but quickly left the establishment and took on a life of its own.
