Mike Brin
 |
Mike Brin was born in Omsk (western part of Siberia), Russia on the 2nd of July 1986. Since early childhood he was exposed and fascinated with many types of music. However, at the age of 14 he was introduced to a new sound when he first heard the GU Los Angeles compilation mixed by John Digweed.
This was something new and exciting that Mike was hearing and this inspired him to get more involved with house music. He took this inspiration and used it to start producing and eventually began dj'ing at local bars and evening parties.
At the age of 17, Mikes career was launched when he made a remix of 16b - Colours. This remix was a global hit and introduced the world to Mike Brin. Hernan Cattaneo decided to put this remix on his legendary Master Series compilation (released in February, 2005).
Mike has been hard at work in the studio and for good reason. His tracks are being signed almost as fast as he can make them and they are consistently being supported by the worlds top progressive house dj's and producers.
At the age of 19, he has already contributed so much to progressive house music and he shows no signs of slowing down.
During 2006 Mike Brin will have releases on such labels as Acute, Babylon, Mashtronic, Restart, O recs, Mangolia, Apache, L2music, Morrison etc.

Lokitas
 |
We are the project from Moscow consisting of two persons. Our title has appeared as a result of Loki and Kit pseudonyms combination.
Certainly, we like how Luke Fair works, but the name of the project is not concerned with his unconditionally perfect track.
We listen, mix, compose and collect music. Its direction is hard to describe, that's a complex, a mix of various house music styles,
which is interesting to us, not simple and filled with saturated, harmonious and beautiful sound.
We are doing our best while selecting most suitable works in our compilations for creating correct mood.
