Having his first track written in 1997 Pavel Burakov (Paul B) left his fingerprints on many local dnb-hits. He was the one who initiated Moscow?s well-known project, The Sounds of Infinity where he was responsible for scoring and mixing the tunes consequently combined in an album. Then, united with Alexey Sta in year 2001, one of the first in Russia has climbed up the world dnb-arena.
The Duo worked purposely on original sounding to reach that goal. Thank's to Alex's experiements with synthesizers and experience of Paul B (time to mention, that Paul took piano lessons in the childhood), guy's have drawn attention of English producer and DJ Trace. In some 3 months he signs them to his label DSCI4. That became the pure breakthrough for whole Russian dnb-scene.
Their first release "The Lick" and "Gladiators" instantly gets to the leaders of the UK sales-charts. These and their other tracks occupy the places of honour in bags of top drum and bass DJs. Andy C, Grooverider, Bad Company, Kemal, SS, Stakka & Skynet, J Majik, Optical, Marky and others spun duplates of Sta & Paul B on radio shows and parties.
The main aspiration has been reached. Paul B continues his growth as a DJ, having started to release his studio mixes in the Web (under a label of "Nuborn Mixes") with the freshest material of well-known and yet climbing artist. One of the first in Russia Paul has started to go for the tours and trips across whole Europe and rest of the world: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Macedonia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Ukraine.
Besides his solo works Paul doesn't forget to cooperate with other Russian musicians (headliners of the local scene: Subwave, Dissident and Electrosoul System). He had enough time to release under a number of imprints (including Renegade Hardware, Sonix, Human Imprint and many more) before launching his own one named STEP2ZERO recordings.
In 2007, aged 25, Paul has made a turn to soulful music. He was asked to join the Refreshed nights as the resident-DJ along with names like Marcus Intalex, Lynx, Goldie, Bryan Gee, Calibre, Syncopix, Kabuki, D Bridge, Stamina MC and many many more. These became world-known friday nights at Moscow's oldest and most respected club Propaganda, which welcomed d&b music within its walls for the first time in its history.
Future is looking bright for Paul. While working at Refreshed he spent almost a year in his studio, putting together an impressive set of digital singles for his label (out Summer 2008), resulting in total rebuild in his music universe. Year 2009 seen him doing numerous performances with the very impressive band of live musicians. Also at this very moment Paul is making his first steps into other music genres right from the Moscow's underground.
