     x Anton cubes: "Techno - a paradise for a drummer"



(C) Kirill Karpenko


     Sinner, I confess - I was not on the first two parties,
when Anton cubes came to our city and let the fans
techno thrown at me rotten tomatoes, rotten eggs, stones and all
the rest of that arm will fall.

     Last kubikovskaya party I liked.
"Kubikovskoy" it can be called with all the bases - Anton
played in succession, neither more nor less, more than five 
hours - more than all the other DJs together. But I must say 
that views on the next techno-action in "Luke" were

diametrically opposed, some said: "cubes fellow,
music is awesome, plays cool "- other:" Enough is enough, this

                                           Blocks, even if

                                           so someone

                                           another rose, and

                                           in general, techno -

                                           bespontovoe.

                                           These differences 
were 

                                           dictated rather

                                           differences in

                                           music

                                           preferences, rather 
than 

                                           real

                                           qualitative

                                           characteristics

                                           parties. Some

   were simply unhappy with the atmosphere. Of course, the 
atmosphere at techno mostly calm, intelligent and streamlined

than on the same drum and bass - you can sit quietly and
to reflect the music, you can get on the dance floor and move 
your hands and feet. This is not a mass obsession with mad

dancing to the loss of pulse under dj-sets of, for example, 
visiting drum-n-beyserov as V.C.A. and Boomer. So let us 
appreciate diversity.


     Dice to play and record foreign techies, and music
his project SCSI-9. If anyone knows Anton is one of the few
Russian artists who publish their music on the media, more
that - he periodically releases releases on vinyl, in December
should come out of his sixth record.

     Having lost, they say, from morning to night, the guest, 
like, everyone was satisfied. However, like many who came 
before him DJ's, said that actually kind of music, what he have

played harder is the fact that he plays normally. We ourselves
noticed that his technology is not quite deep, as in the 
handbills were indicated. Why then the deep-play did not? 
Because, says the music is soft, thin, and the "Luke" sound bad 
- no "Pischalok" responsible for the treble, which is "to twist

button on the top, and nothing gets out, have
add tops through the middle, mid-range is
too many, the dance floor gets tired easily and so people are 
not long can dance. "That this turns parsley ... But we do not

afraid of difficulties - we create them ourselves. It turns out 
that tweeter (tweeters) was not because

lyukovskie DJ-scum burned them. However, now all is well
the club has new "Tweeters", and thus, we can estimate
full audio load. Interview with Kubikov as such have
I failed. But the laid-back turned
mezhdusoboyny conversation "senior fellow" (Kubikov that is) 
with younger friends (ie me Nikolaitch and another pair

people). Anton sat, sipping whiskey, and told us different
interesting things. First and foremost, I will. I had my
half-formed image Kubikov as DJ-hero
DJ-knight, whose arms - the music, and he, naturally,
this image is destroyed. But do not judge strictly, an image 
that I do not he thought. Have Kubikov friend - Pavel Bardin. 
And somehow Paul decided to remove the short film "Hero", as 
one of the roles called Anton. The film turned out great, and 
if it is very try, we can find it on video and watch it. So I 
put this all to the fact that the cubes in this movie, and 
cubes in fact - entirely different things. It is 
understandable, Anton, except that a good DJ and musician, is 
also a good actor. Introducing currently Kubikov such a DJ, 
what he is "Hero" (and he was there is di-zheya, and his path 
to de-dzheystvu imagine some special and extraordinary. The 
very same cubes tells about it. His musical career began with 
radio station "Youth" in Moscow, where he worked with Zorkin. 
From there, Anton, and began its way to the title popularly 
known and beloved DJ focusing primarily on the COMPASS-Wrubel, 
who was already playing in clubs. Incidentally, the first 
workable Moscow clubs were "Hermitage", "LSDance" and "Jump", in

which played Lantern and Spider with Fishem - the last two
colleagues at the Moscow Kubikov techno scene. Then appeared
other clubs. Generally, of all the clubs who were in Moscow
Cube like most Ptyuch. That was then and now
its not like none of the Moscow club. Therefore, in Moscow, he
does not play, and toured the cities of Russia, most of all he
loves to be in Kaliningrad, Kaliningrad in the club "Batten". 
AND More Anton goes to play in Germany. However, not only play, 
but More records and to publish your music on there

vinyl, and now he works with record labels Forcetrakcs and Salo.

     On the question why at the beginning of his career, when 
he stood on musical crossroads, cubes chose techno, he replied:

"Techno - a paradise for the drummer, the music, in which the 
melody made of percussion instruments. "
