Fluter aka Decado, real name is Ilya Stepanischev was born on the 1th of May in 1984 in Vitebsk (Belarus). At the age of 5 he got fond of music and this was the beginning of his further musical career. Later on he acquired such professions as an artist of an orchestra (flute), conductor of orchestra, teacher. In 2004 Ilya moves to St.Petersburg, where he proceeds his education in specialty of sound engineering. Since 2004 he is cooperating with Dissident (St. Petersburg, producer) and participating in live-project Phantom Orchestra. Then in 2005 the duet of Fluter and Dissident is formed completely. During his live co-performances with Dissident Fluter plays on the flute and keyboard. Their music contains leftfield-like drumfunk, atmospheric drum & bass, IDM plus some cinematic elements. In 2006 they began an active club tour and creating of label Opposide Records (sub-label of Respect Records). Fluter is also known as Decado, under this name Ilya produces deep & minimal tech music.
Dissident is the production name of Russian based Stanislav Sevostyanikhin. Residing in St.Petersburg at the Baltic sea shore, he spends most of his time slicing beats, synthesizing sounds and creating trends in modern music culture. He is influenced by very different kinds of music that allowed him to produce such diverse and truly innovative tunes. Although his forte is primarily drum&bass, Stan has never restricted his music to one particular style or genre.
Stan started to produce electronic music in early 1998. After getting some experience he created his first drum&bass project called Dissonance (featuring his mates Aspekt, Nec and MC Akim). They had enough success in Russia, with many releases and performances. In 2001 he quit the project and went on to produce solo under the Dissident moniker.
The sound that he had polished was ready to be taken onto the world scene and his first 12” release “Technecium” (made with Paul B) was on the famous British label Renegade Hardware in 2002. Today Dissident’s discography includes three albums on TAM Records, a label he co-owns; several 12” on Subvert Central, Counter Intelligence, Subtle Audio, Fear Red, Camino Blue and others. Forthcoming material is scheduled for a release on well known NYC imprint Offshore.
Under the guise of Kontext, he set out to write music with no genre classifications. This has become a project to show the diversity and extent of Stan’s production skills and represent his experiments with glitches, spatial atmospherics, minimalism and that kind of things. This project is exclusively signed to Bristol-based label Immerse and plenty of new releases are expected in nearest future.
With his fresh and catchy sound, Stan has toured as a DJ across Russia, Netherlands, Poland, Ukraine and Latvia. If all this weren't enough to keep one busy, he also runs his own imprint Opposide and participates in well known in Russia scandal trashy hip-hop band “trash-chapiteau KACH”.
