Also, DJs Janis Krauklis (the first proper DJ in USSR), Moro+Vitkus, AG+Raitis, UK Top 40, Radiodejas, ZB show, Latvian Beat movement, PTUCH magazine and some of my school-mates to blame \ud83d\ude42 By 1996 I was already a regular visitor (and a fan) of the legendary thursdays (first regular e-music nights in Latvia) at a local students club &#8220;Panna&#8221;. DJs became my friends, my friends became DJs, so no wonder that I became a DJ, too &#8211; in 1996 I bought my first vinyl record &#8211; Eszid Mjuzik by Dash on Djax-up-beats (or was it Dan Curtin&#8217;s album?) &#8211; and a second-hand belt-drive soviet turntable Arija to start learning the alchemy of beat-matching and playing of records in general. The beginning was a usual one &#8211; playing in a bedroom (actually that was a living room) and some private house parties, then starting DJing in some more public parties and clubs eventually. In 1999 hooked up with a Latvian band Sirke, carrying out the function of a DJ\/sampler for them. In 2000 I got my first DJing residency at Casablanca club. Other regular DJing spots included the legendary Pulkvedis (where I&#8217;m still playing time after time), Metro club, local festivals and Boogaloo crew&#8217;s parties in Lithuania. Since 2003 I&#8217;m living in Luxemburg, but still frequently DJing in Latvia. Apart from the Baltics and Luxemburg, I have performed in Finland (Jump Inn, Helsinki) and Germany (Golden Pudel Club, Haus73 and Washington Bar in Hamburg and Cafe Burger in Berlin). I&#8217;m also a co-founder of netcords.net netlabel and co-editor of Jaffa Magazine.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n1st Tuesday of the month: MINIPOWER with DJ&#8217;s IVARXX and DV5 (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.uksus.net\/blog\/\">Uksus<\/a>).<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re into minimal, check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fuckforfriendship.com\/\">FuckForFriendship<\/a> and Kone&#8217; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.varka.org\/?cat=6\">charts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>at club Pulkvedis, Peldu 24\/26, Riga, LV . .
