Grigory & Anthony

Imagine a slow motion shot of a satellite falling on a surface of the Earth : it flies, overcoming a stratosphere, and friction creates flashes of fire which in due course pass in smooth burning. It falls, resisting and being accelerated with aggressiveness and force, simultaneously smoothly breaking into the atmosphere, as though interfering and becoming a part of a life of a planet. In the afternoon the quiet, filled greens and freshness of falls, oceans with their silent power and the life hidden under water.

At the night filled with events unforgettable and switching daylight with city-light, showing ability of men to be alive under any circumstances. And here it falls in water, the wave soars up in air and shatteringly falls down, sending aside continent an obstinate wave. Have imagined? Now precisely in order quickly rewind a film - dynamics of cities, speed of movement of transport, change of day, laces of waterfalls, lines of islands, down to that moment when the satellite comes back to an orbit of a planet and connects stars and our home.

And now imagine it all in sound. Does it work? And that is when we represent you Grigory and Anthony. The talented duet consisting of Grigory Fatijanov and Anton Lemtyugin, begun the joint activity in 2004 in the city of Krasnoznamensk , near Moscow .

Their sound is bold and many-sided. It is not simple Progressive and Breaks, it is a reflection of their inner-world and definitely life experience closely connected with active club life of capital, literally from teenage years.

Grigory had DJed and worked with a number of Russian labels. Became a resident of 'Sequence Production' and produced "D project". Tracks "Friction" and some remixes are released on compilations "Ne Spat'2. Club energy" and “Ne Spat'3. Night awards" on the label called "Style Records" with a support of magazine "Don't sleep" - one of the key elements in Russian dance scene.

Anton is a professional musician and sound engineer, has been working in various studios on music production, which included different styles of music. It made his perspective on production diverse.

G&A don't identify themselves with a certain style. "It's all about how it makes you feel. We don't write music, we express moves, dreams, experiences and surrendering yourself to the sound."

Grigory and Anthony use a lot of live instruments. They prefer to diversify their works with sound experiments which are far from formal and traditional.

“I believe their creative talent will make music industry better. The only thing needed is for them to carry on, everything else is already there."- Mike Brin (Mashtronic, Source of Gravity, Hope), Russia

“Grigory & Anthony are one of the most upcoming prog-house producers, not only from Russia , but in general. They've got lots more to offer to a dance scene… this is only the beginning” - Emanuel Phaz (Sentient Audio Collective. NRG Records), Greece

"Grigory & Anthony's remix on Mike Brin's "Never Again" deserves a 'repeat button'." - Helen K (Frisky Radio, NRG Records), Greece

Great impact in their creative motion has an alliance with Pitch Publishing. Grigory & Anthony's most innovative tracks as well as a series of their vivid remixes came in many raindrops falling from the sealing of the studio, put together by label.

Questions:

1. Do you see sound? If yes, than in what? How do you imagine it to yourself? What is sound?

Do I see the sound? More than that, I feel it! Constantly, when I'm at home, when on a bus or metro, walking down a street, I always run into it. It's like the wall that always on your way and you can't walk around it. Sound is a part of our life, always with us hand in hand, feet to feet. It helps to get right direction in space, pass our emotions through sound-scapes. There is no life without it.

2. If you close your eyes for an instance and imagine the most beautiful place on Earth or in the Universe, what would that be?

Imagine a place where time slows down in it's motion and everything flows. Where people walk the street with golden unworried smile on their face. There are pine forests and air is filled with a sealing freshness. Where you are in a harmony with nature, where everything that surrounds you, inspires you, and you are ready to create without stopping. And a place like this to me is Luxembourg .

3. What does your city mean to you and do you reflect it in sound?

My town to me is a little mother land. Coming back there always means charging myself with energy. We have a main center for navigating space ships, very close to space, and obviously it reflects in our music. Reflects in shades and shapes of our floating and airy melodies, that covers certain mysteries. And that sucks you in their own world creators of which are us. Of course our town had an influence on us. Sound of out city is in each of our tracks. so by listening to our sound wherever you are, you get transported to our city and are our guests, and we are always very hospitable.

4. What is the first kiss?

First kiss for me is something very romantic with red cheeks and shaking knees. It is something that takes you to a different level in life, something like a bonus to it, that you can use all the time and sometimes abuse.
