First up respek to me for being the first to use that strap-line and REALLY milk all the attendant overtones out of it. More in our trademark vein of parochial opinion from "my man" Ambrose White:
"holy crap if you are into checking out russian pop, you need to check out Yana Kay. shes not russian, but estonian but she hooks up with the russian garage massive (?!).......... and produces pretty crap garage tunes.
one of these kids got their tune played by matt jam lamont! never heard of roma zhukov before (your cover star), but these tossers are ten a penny. the classics are alla pugachova and fillipp kirkorov. this nightmare couple is bloddy awful and has been the crux of the russian pop scene for too long (going on 15/20 yrs now).
puygachova is an awful 55 yr old hag, and kirkorov is her absurd overly-made-up 30 yr old lover. together they make shitty tunes with some pumping eurobeat 4/4! check the videos for a glimpse of the ridiculous extravagance that is the moscow clubbing scene!
finally for a (now old) funny hardish house tune check akula 'kislotnii people'. banging!"
Ambrose has promised to fill me in on the Moscow Garage scene when he gets back from hanging with the massiv-ski. Is that East enuff for ya!
