On the 1st of December, the head of Recoil project, Alan Wilder (ex Depeche Mode), visited Moscow, Russia. Alan Wilder made a special appearance and album presentation for the Russian release of the "subHuman" album by Recoil. There was a live appearance from the Russian band The Limelight and music courtesy of DJ O.K., DJ Z@lex and DJ Zaler. VJ AntiShanti provided video projection and exclusive prizes were given away courtesy of Gala Records.
During this presentation Alan Wilder met with DJ RAM.
First of all DJ RAM said a big thanks to Mr. Alan for support and for changing the young artists' life...
It was 7 years ago, at the end of 1999, at a time when DJ RAM worked only with Russian bands as a remixer and club DJ when he sent some of his works to Mr. Wilder and received a letter back with positive words about production and possible future cooperation. The words of this letter gave DJ RAM confidence, and he began to contact foreign labels with his work. Many labels liked it, and he start to make remixes for artists from all around the world. After more remix releases with good feedback from many bands, labels, and listeners, DJ RAM started his own project called Virtual Server. The idea was to invite vocalists from different bands and countries to work with DJ RAM's music and coordination to record album. (an idea similar to Alan Wilder's project, Recoil).
Currently, there are two albums released, two singles, and one EP by Virtual Server.
Thus the letter from Alan changed the life of DJ RAM. It has been 7 years engaged exclusively in music in its various directions - DJing, remixing, producing, and sound engineering.
Alan Wilder recognized DJ RAM and invited him to an album presentation in " Club Strangel" in Moscow.
The conversation was very interesting as RAM brought some CD's with his works and Alan was very interested in the music. The huge surprise for Alan was the DJ RAM remix of a Jezebel track. DJ RAM produced this remix together with the guitarist from the Russian band " Mechtat’'" - Sergey Davidenko (SD). SD also was meeting with Alan Wilder. This remix may be published sometime in the future. Alan was very friendly, with an open personality and magnificent sense of humour. The dialogue was very informative for RAM as they talk about music, the electronic scene, and life in general. DJ RAM has received a huge creative charge from Alan, so much can now be expected in 2008!
Biggest thanks for help and support:
