DJ name: Mayatnik

Real name: Alexei Glazov

Brief life story: We pick up Glazov's story from 1995, when he was fired from the radio station Serebryany Dozhd after working as a radio DJ for six months because of a difference of views with the management. Glazov then decided to try his hand at club Djing, and his first experience was at Cafe Moskovskoye on Tverskaya in November 1995. Then, until the spring of 1996 he spun at the Europe-Asia discotheque in Izmailovo. Until 2000, he gained more experience taking part in various one-off projects at the clubs Lexx, Dvorak and Sharks, and worked as a host on the radio station Stantsiya for six weeks. Three years ago he came to work at Moscow-Berlin and has preferred to spin at cafes since then. "At cafes I can experiment with music; people don't come to cafes to dance and won't say I'm a bad DJ just because nobody's dancing," he says. At the moment, Glazov plans to resume writing electronic music for various DJ compilations.
