This man has amazed us many times with his taste, ability to find unheard-of rarities and innate radar of dance floor moods. Andrey @manb4 is a modest but very powerful DJ and collector of vinyl records. Member of the team and owner of the Wax Ninja label . Organizer and resident of the multi-genre CRUISE party series, under the auspices of which the music label has recently launched.

He started buying his first records back in 2004. Since then, he has managed to collect a rather impressive collection covering the time period from the early 90s to the present day. Andrey's musical taste extends from UK/US House & Garage cargo parties to the broken rhythms of Drum & Bass, Breakbeat Hardcode and Jungle music, through deeper forms of Deep House and Dub Techno.

House music is literally in Andrey's blood and therefore it would be a crime not to have his podcast in our collection.

Listen right now!

This guy is always with us, although he is now based in the city of Lisbon, Portugal (and already successfully performs there at parties of 500+ people)! It's hard for us to be separated from @thierrytomas , so we asked Zhenya to record an hour-long mix postcard for our own label. Urgently turn on the link , it's a complete thrill!

Taking this opportunity, we also congratulate Zhenya and ourselves on how enchantingly the Tomat record flew into the world charts of radio stations, streaming, digital showcases and vinyl stores. Signor Pomidor is everywhere!

You probably remember and love our "Revnost" release from Moscow producer Gosha Martynov aka @interesnyeoshchushchenia , released last fall. During this time, tracks from it managed to play on BBC Radio 1, get into the mixes of unexpected DJs around the world, and appeared on the charts and playlists of popular streaming sites. Like everyone else, we periodically immerse ourselves in this melancholic-banging atmosphere of the release, and of course we want more of this kind of sound. So we present to you a whole hour of house stuff mixed with Street Soul from the hero-resident of our label!

Such a set can be played with pleasure at any time of the day and catch completely different emotions, depending on what exactly the listener wants. The amazing power of music! Get your groove on.

A surprisingly beautiful mix was shared with us by a Moscow music lover and collector of records, with more than 20 years of experience - @stas-vasilev . A special place in his compilations is occupied by American electronics, with a noticeable influence of true school jazz, funk and disco. In the mix for Minor Notes, Stas fully revealed his love for deep, soulful and groove house, constantly moving the listener to a fashionable cocktail party on the roof of a skyscraper, then to the azure coasts of warm lands closer to sunset.

We highly recommend paying attention to this DJ and getting acquainted with his other mixes for our friends from Jazzve, Melody PM, House Salad and others. And look for Stas live on vinyl markets and in Moscow bars Noor, Vinyl and Wine, Suzuran and summer Cochonnet.

Turn it on and share the beauty!

Improvisation in the form, which we love it the most! There is a special position in your music menu today. Podcast from our friend @denis-kazacov - owner of the label @sengileywax and @spaziolabel . Denis is a born A&R, who does not think in styles and genres, but chooses music according to its quality, which is proved by his hour-long mix. There is jazz in the Icelandic reading, hip-hop, house demos of notable domestic producers and unreleases from his imprints. We are glad that you will hear it in our podcast series! Press play immediately!

We are always looking for new names and happy to meet new people who live by the music! Special place in the heart of Minor Notes is occupied by the Urals and Siberia! During the December tour to Chelyabinsk, we met Sasha Slavinskas - he is a very active local DJ, who can be heard almost every weekend at the main dance events of the city. As expected, Sasha collects vinyl, develops the local groove scene and gives a high-quality music to everyone who are interested in. Very elegantly wears a beard and mustache, which is no less important!

After hearing how stylishly and confidently Sasha plays and getting to know him better, we realized that it is absolutely impossible to live without his mix in our collection. So today, we present to your attention an hour-long podcast from Slavinskas himself, recorded in the Chelyabinsk club called RMC! Listen up!

Happy New Year to everyone! As a gift we present you a wonderful hour of music from our St. Petersburg friend @forgottendiscostar . Tolya is a natural born vinyl digger, trying to surprise his listeners with unobvious diamonds from different styles of music. For Minor Notes, he traditionally dug into the wilds of house music, in which Shazam does not work. So you need to go directly to the author for the playlist!

Right before our last Propaganda party, we listened to an evening set from @artyom_fet , who brilliantly prepared the future dance floor for the Minor Notes night. We were struck by its versatility and perfect mixing, a clear understanding of how to build a warm-up. Artem has been collecting multi-genre electronics for many years and deservedly considers himself an expert in the field of house music of the 90s: from the Belgian new beat and EBM to the British Acid.

Together with @denis-kazacov from St. Petersburg, he launched the community and label @spaziolabel , holding parties in both capitals. And very soon, the first cassette VA compilation with tracks by only Russian musicians is being prepared for release. Spazio is synthesized melodies and rhythms inspired by Italo 80's and 90's, proto-house, new beat, EBM and modern disco.

A day after the request to record a podcast for us, Artem made an outstanding mix in his selection on fresh tracks. We highly recommend that you do not delay listening and press PLAY right now!

We met this person more than 10 years ago in VK, in one of the thematic music public sites with rare music of the 70s-80s. Sergei @baster-jazzster has grown a lot during this time, moved from Severodvinsk to Moscow and became a prominent DJ in the digger crowd. He is also a member of the formations Base Movement, Nord Train Disco, 1/2 blog and the label Amateur Exotic. Sometimes he performs under the alter ego of Amateur Exorcist, playing outlandish music. Surprisingly, the selection of northern Pomeranian bloodlines, using the example of Seryozha, reveals its most tropical side. Funk, soul, balearic, disco, boogie and more modern dance genres. For us, Baster Jazzster has put together a house (of course) mix that demonstrates his taste preferences and deep knowledge of music very well.

If you want to transfer to his set live - visit Moscow venues like Powerhouse, Enthusiast, Flaner more often, and also follow the broadcasts of our friends @testfm_radio.

It's especially nice when our label's podcast series becomes a platform for releasing very rare mixes from artists we respect very much. The well-known metropolitan DJ and producer @deep-square hails from St. Petersburg is just the case. Sasha has been faithful to electronic music from a very young age and continues to express his love through collecting old-school vinyl, performing at high-profile Moscow events and blogging about rare dance vinyls in Deep&Low channel together with Borya Gabaraev aka @dalisounds. We have known Sasha for a long time and have always attributed him to non-typical DJs with phenomenal erudition, who allow themselves are literally everything in a music journey.

This hour-long mix has collected very atmospheric house tracks, each as a separate sound picture. No tools, just real music. Many of these tracks you will never hear in Sasha's live, because in his opinion, they are created more for chamber listening and intellectual dancing in the head.

We express great respect to Deep Square for such a serious approach and the honor of being the one to release his first podcast in the last 5 years. Be ready for a super trippy one hour mix from the man!
