Purple Unit
Biography:
Resident of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine Andray Zapotochnyy aka Purple Unit was sucked into quickly rising electronic music in early 1999. He took classical violin classes earlier but then found electronic music a lot more expressive. He started with techno and breakbeat and already used own vocals in his early works.
Three years later another local talent Sunchase introduces Purple Unit to drum&bass music. Andray climbs onto local scene with the support of St.Petersburg CD-label Respect, signing his first d’n’b trials.
World debut of Purple Unit was initiated by Russian producer Paul B and his newborn label STEP2ZERO. Impressed by his tune “Dream Time” he puts it on release schedule for year 2004.
Purple Unit’s first 12-inch gives a big impulse to his career. Bookings turn him into one of Ukraine most booked DJ’s. His tracks gain attention of other known Dj’s and producers: Pendulum, Desimal, Submerged, Pyro, Chris.SU, Task Horizon, Wildchild, Temper D. A track called “Air Circus” becomes his most played release thanks to rolling beats and juicy production. Breakbeat tune called “Getting Closer” were used by El Hornet (Pendulum) in his breaks sets.
Andray isn’t going to stop. His tune “Human Dust” with famous Peter Mamonov’s voice sample gets signed to New York Ohm Resistance label.
“Dream Time LP” launching parties take place in Ukraine, Russia, Moldova, Slovakia, Belarus.
