Our Sound of Music


We usually listen to electronic music: Breakbeat, House, Acid-jazz, so that's why we've decided to write you about the establishment of Kharkiv's Electro Movement (KEM).

All has started from appearing in Kharkiv some tracks of Marusha, Scooter and, later, The Prodigy. And after that there have appeared the first guys in a strange wears, who were called "Ravers". It was in 1989-92. They dyed their hair and paint them into vivid colors. 

Some people, who were shocked by this had become annoyed and really mad. Therefore those "Ravers" in order to get to their Night-clubs had to hide their acid-green hair under their modest caps, hats and to sneak very quietly on their way there. But when that "raverity" became more mass-loving occasion everything bad against them became more smoothing and only slightly worried. That was happened when there have appeared a real pack of stunning groups like Fatboy Slim, ColdCut, Propeller Heads and many, many, many, many more others.
