"Author and journalist Wladimir Kaminer from Moscow and DJ Yuriy Gurzhy from the Ukraine immigrated to Berlin in the 1990s; they burst on the Berlin nightclub scene with their first Russendisko in 1999. What started as a party became an international hit and created a lively interest in Eastern European music. Russendisko combines Russian songs with a powerful bass beat that draws all to the dance floor. It is akin to a mix of ska played on the accordion, or grunge with a reggae riff thrown in. And most of the singers sound like Frank Sinatra with a three-day hangover and a 60-cigarettes-a-day habit. "Weird, unpolished and sometimes awful-sounding music which is, in the end, really good to dance to," boast the sleeve notes of their CD. None of it is subtle. All of it is loud. Most of it is catchy. And everyone dances pretty much all the time." - The Guardian
