DJ name: Lager

Real name: Igor Lager

Brief life story: His first experience DJing was in 1995, when he helped his friend Vasily BeVoice spin discs on Russian-made VEGA turntables at private parties. But his love for music began much earlier. For 15 years, since 1987, he has played percussion with the "Botanichesky Sad" (Botany Garden) art band. After practising DJing at private parties in 1995, Lager moved on to work with the most prestigious nightclubs - Moby Dick, Chance, Territoriya, Coffee Inn and Shambala DJ-bar. Also, he performed as a DJ for the radio station "Substantsiya." In 1999 and 2000, he did a successful tour of Scandinavia where he both spun and played percussion with "Botanichesky Sad" in Copenhagen and Oslo. In January of this year, he performed in an Austrian radio program devoted to Russian music, broadcast in the city of Graz. The Austrians liked him so much that they asked him to record a jingle for them. His immediate plan is to put together a good collection for future compilations.
