Sergey Sanches - Propaganda Club - Moscow RU - Aug 2008

Biography of Sergey Sanches

Each DJ shows his addiction to music while still being a child. The same thing happened to Sanches, when he started creating sounds with the help of everything he saw around — from the desks to the plates and cans. His parents decided to help him develop his passion and invited a music teacher, that has spent 4 years teaching Sergey to play piano. His DJ carreer has started when he tried playing at school parties, but the first serious step to the serious and successful DJ life was made when he decided to participate in a young Dj contest. That was DJ Fonar’s Idea to ask young DJ’s to send their promo mixes to his radio show. Sanches couldn't miss such a possibility and recorded a mix with the help of a friend, who had a sound engineer console. Sergey didn't receive any response from Fonar, but that just forced him to start doing that thing seriously. The main coincidence that has played a huge role in becoming a serious DJ was Sergey's odd acquaintance with DJ Cash. They met in a sort of a voice chat that was unusually found by the young people of the block where Sanches lived. They started talking by phone and then they met, as they lived close to each other. Sanches has started Dj'ing at the legendary club «Ptuch», where he met a lot of people, who were responsible for the development of electronic music in Russia. Soon Sanches has become a pretty famous and successful young DJ. Later on, he started a series of his own parties at the «Luch» club. The flyers for the parties were designed by an artist and modeller — Meshkov, who is now a very successful DJ and Sapunov, a young DJ, who Sanches met on one of the Moscow radio stations, was leaving the flyers in the universities and colleges. Sanches’s career was developing very fast, the «Ptuch» magazine was supporting him a lot. That was the period, when the dancing scene community was dividing into several parts. Different DJ's preferred different music and that led to delimitation. Sanches chose deep house. Now his career counts residencies in the best clubs of Moscow, several fabulous mixes, tours around Moscow and europe and sets on the same stages with the likes of Matthew Herbert, Kevin Mckay, and Timewriter to name a few.. The name Sergey Sanches is familiar to all the admirers of house music in Russia.
