AstroPilot comes from Siberia, Russia. Behind this name is the young and extremely talented Dmitry Red'ko.
Dmitry has completed education in the Siberian Institute of Communication and Information summer 2007.
For the past 7 years he has been experimenting with music and sounds. His fabulous music is the direct outcome of not only his gifted talent, but also his true passion to the music and a lot of hard work in the studio. AstroPilot is a dominator in his field and is becoming a brand name. His music is a reflection, and combines the culture, sights and sounds form his homeland.
AstroPilot manages to generate a considerable buzz in Russia and is constantly grabbing attention from multiple directions... When listening to his music, it is sometimes hard to believe that behind these mature sounds is no other than a 23 year old lad... who is gifted with this rare ability to express his visions through his music.
Dmitry is a skillful and has a charismatic personality. He has been listening to The Future Sound of London and The Orb as a little boy and has been inspired by the writer Vasily Golovachev and alike...
AstroPilot is the prince of atmosphere, a pro in his field. His music sweeps the listener away into a world of imagination and hypnotizes with it's ethnic spices, rhythms and samples - and this is his very intention, he declares...
AstroPilot has played Shamanium in April 2005. Sun-Trance, the first Psy-trance open air party in Novosibirsk in May 2005. 3D party in May 2005. 4D Party in June and the biggest of them all - Sunvibes 05 that took place in 22-25 July 2005. Lately he has been invited to perform in the Sayan Ring ethno national festival that will take place this summer in Krasnoyarsk. In 2006-2007 he performed more in local events, includes 2 biggest ones - Kazantip Pre-Party@Boomerang (Nsk, Russia) and Sunvibes 06@Mountain Altai. His aim is to bring psychedelic chillout culture and ideas into the Novosibirsk nightlife.
He is always looking for something new for his performances, in beginning it was more downtempo psychedelic trip and now his sets and performances are more dance able includes more ethno and modern rhythms parts, and when he plays chillout moves to dance floor, therefore sometimes AstroPilot plays in main floor!
His first album FOTI was released on Avatar in October 2007.
Listen to his music - One thing is for sure- this pilot is trusty...!
