Show Notes
Before Alex Pervukhin (@flashyflashy) launched his vinyl label (@laconicalabel) and released numerous tracks on large recordings worldwide, he was a local DJ-hero first. Deejaying was his passion that started everything and sparked the flame that is burning since. Alex was booked regularly to play at big local parties that later became a well known, established international brands (e.g. @cxemcast and @hypnohouse). He played warm-ups in different styles for guys like @se62, @vakula, Shed, just to name a few. It expanded his musical horizons and opened to new sounds. Contemporary Minimal, classic US House, Detroit Techno, Italian Disco – Alex knows how to put the right tune at the right time. After established himself as a successful selector in native Ukraine, Alex started a new page in his career - music production. Following years of perfecting skills, Pervukhin put all his attainment into vinyl only label Laconica. Alex's production, influenced by US Garage, UK Tech, and even Breakbeat became quickly acknowledged by big players. Two tracks of his from the label catalog were included in Trommel Top 100 list of best records from 2018. Now Alex sits on releases on @recordeep-mag, Rawax, Hubble, @crocusvinyl and @tessellatelondon and his tracks you already catch in sets of @varhat (Conrete podcast), @priku_atipicrecords, IO (Mulen), Brawther, Guillamo Lamonte to name a few. With all this, Pervukhin has enough trump cards up his sleeve to continue marvel the world and his listeners. Stay Rave with #R13!
