We must admit, that we are especially enthralled about every new episode of our Collection series. Not only because they give us an opporunity to dive deep into the minds of fellow music nerds and excavate long forgotten musical gems, or because of all the little stories and anecdotes that are the personal footnotes to every record. Its because each episode is also a bit of a history lesson about the wider musical nexus our guests were embedded within - its a rare chance to hear the stories of emerging and collapsing scenes, how they shaped the listening habits of whole cities or to hear some undocumented key moments of music history, even if this history is a local one.
One of those insightful episodes is our session with Sergey Krylov, who is somewhat a legend within the Russian underground and amongst post-Soviet record collectors. Know as the producer behind the seminal first two albums of the infamous art-rap group „Krovostok“ (think Aesop Rock meets Dostoevsky), he’s also the mind behind „Enthusiast“, one of the few Moscovite record stores. His story is a fascinating reflection of the post-Soviet condition - like many others young people he was driven by his enthusiasm and fascination for an influx of new music from the West, but at the same time he had to cope with the infrastructural shortcomings of an newly formed Russia, where underground records from the West were more than a rarity. We hope you enjoy this rare first-hand chronicle of Russian music history.
