Frekler

Music, me and friends

I’m a techno DJ and music producer known professionally as Frekler, originally from Kazan in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia.

My passion for electronic music started in the 1990s, during my early years as a pianist playing classical music concerts.

In 2001 I began DJing in Kazan and organizing cool parties with my friends – young DJ One and DJ Ozz at the Grot bar as part of the Prosound promo group.

Over the next few years, I continued to develop my approach to techno music with gigs featuring an assertive and fat techno sound.

I’m proud of my ability to fuse the energy and power of techno with the raw sound of rock, which led me to perform a special industrial techno set at a rock festival in Kazan in 2003 – the first of its kind in the city and beyond. I even had the chance to collaborate with rock guitarists in joint performances.

Thanks to my friend Shamil (DJ OM), who invited me at 2004 to be a co-host the OzoneChannel radio show alongside with him. The show, which has been on air since 1997, was one of the first in Russia to focus on night club culture and electronic music. It was founded by the famed OzonePro team from Kazan. The history of this OzoneChannel radio show continues to this day.

At that time, a series of Untitled Nights parties were held by Monors (a joint project with my friend - Max Milian) and at various small local venues with famous Russian techno figures, such as Magic B, Cannon Project, DP-6, and others.

Thanks to the clubbing crowd my contributions to the development of club culture in Kazan were recognized when I was nominated for the “Dancing People Awards” in 2005.

But as a supporter of the underground scene, I always went in a different direction.

I’ve performed at some of the best underground techno nightclubs in Russia, including the legendary TUNNEL Night Club in Saint Petersburg (sadly closed forever), which was promoted by famous DJs and producers such as Van Nosikov and others.

I remain dedicated to discovering new horizons and actively promoting techno music through my studio work and the OzoneChannel radio show now.

Geographically, I am currently in beautiful Spain.

Thank you for your support and stay tuned.
