About me: Sergei Kryuchkov or DJ K.S.Y. (pronouncing as «ksyu» – these are the first letters of his initials) began his DJ’s career in the mid-90-ies as «melodies and rhymes manager» at the dancing broadcasting station called «Techno-FM». But the desire to contact directly with the dancing-pool made him to change a studio engagement onto the work at DJ-desk. And the first creative success didn’t keep waiting for them. As a follower of intellectual sound Sergei finally made his stylistic choice in favour of tuneful progressive, which he skillfully intersperse with elements of Deep, Tech and the Minimal. The sets of DJ K.S.Y. are a cross between gorgeous phonation of the List’s and intellectual experiments of the Kubikov.
The professional career of DJ K.S.Y. began in 2003 from the residentship at the «Golden tree» cafe, and beginning from 2004 he was resident at «K2» club. Even at that time he understood the DJ equipment brilliantly (an engineer’s education became apparent) and preferred sappy phonation of vinyl. Taken together, all this – playing technique and the music taste – brought to first success. In February of 2005 DJ K.S.Y. took the second place in «Best DJ Award from K2» Contest and just one year later he participated in this Contest as a jury member. From 2005 he is a permanent participant of the club-culture festival «Pitch 2005» at the «Flamingo» club.
In March 2006 a long-standing dream of the DJ became true – his first album «Fluide» was issued on the USSR (United Space Sound Records) Label. The success of the first release and the following favourable reviews resulted in the edition of his second compilation called «Twenty Two». It is noteworthy that both his mixes were recorded on literally golden players Technics Gold SL-1200.
Nowadays DJ K.S.Y. is one of young promising DJs with an image of intellectual music lover assigned to him. Such statement is quite well-grounded. Such DJ-Guru as Slava Finist, Cross, Viper, List, Spyder, Kubikov, Ogarev, Sanches and Compas-Vrubel already showed interest in his works.
It is noteworthy what one could combine a «SKY» word from letters of the DJ KSY ’s name. And it is not a casual coincidence. On hearing his mixes you can realize that they really of heavenly beauty.
