Artist History EU is a duo formed by Sasha Zaicev and Ilya Baramia in the late of 1997.Both live in Saint-Petersburg and do their postgraduate studies in math at St Petersburg's State University (Sasha) and in building engineeringat Saint-Petersburg's Building & Engineering Institute (Ilya). They both got interested in contemporary electronic music early in the nineties through listening to releases by WARP, NINJA TUNE, REPHLEX. The first track by EU was recorded on October 7th, 1997. Named MICE ON MOON, it appeared on the now legendary PERFORATION compilationalbum on Perforated records, small independent label located inSaint-Petersburg, which maintains the underground spirit of contemporary electronica here, in Russia. Following year and half were devoted to the active experimentationin the home studio with all kind of accessible equipment (PC, Boss DR-660,old analogue keys) and occasional live shows in different local clubs ( such asPort, Griboedov, MAMA, Ten).During July '98 - February '99 sessions the new material was recorded. Some partof it was released as MC and limited edition CD via Perforated records . It may be regarded as an introduction in EU sound. Album entitled "EU_SOFT" will be released soon by ArT-TeK records ( http://mu.ru/)
