ARTISTSKirill ShapovalovBerlin (DE)
Kirill Shapovalov — Berlin based DJ, the artist and a prominent figure in the world electronic scene. During the past few years, Kirill has toured through many European countries, becoming a frequent guest in such cities as Paris, Antwerp, Madrid, Tel-Aviv, Vilnius and Tbilisi. Concurrently the prolific artist has released a series of bright podcasts on such labels as Maricas, Pornceptual, Honey Sound System, Mixmag, Veneno Brazil and many more. His live acts were fixed by authoritative international projects: Boiler Room, Rinse FM, HÖR, 20ft Radio, Test FM — these names can be said for themselves. In the club culture, Kirill finds not only inspiration, but also a real, almost carnal passion. Describing his favorite music, he often uses the word "sexual," and treats his own performances as a kind of flirtation with the audience. Kirill brings up the degree of musical arousal to maximum with the help of stylistic contrasts and graceful techniques. A burrowing acid, ecstatic trance drops, cosmogonic melodies and a 4x4 bass drum as a constant — that's the ecosystem that Kirill creates during his DJ sets. His acts exist somewhere in between techno and disco, however, you are unlikely to remember such details on the dance floor.
