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”.

Respect Records is glad to present its 1st vinyl release. 12 inch plate represents 2 parts of modern drum&bass music and contains compositions by Russian producers. red side: BES & RECEPTOR 'Shiva' white side: ABSTRACT ELEMENTS 'Erpeh'
Dance moods and neuro sound of woken up Shiva attract the listener to external displays and have made the track by Bes & Receptor as much as possible expected on large parties not only in Russia. On the other side Abstract Elements show ultra futuristic minimal sound in its best displays which immerses a person in itself even on a dancefloor. We love both these tracks, and this mutual respect of the opposite points of view expresses the wisdom of our label to hold on the golden middle in music...
