The news about his life are fragmented and very uncertain, no documents or pictures to witness the period of his youth.
The only certainty is that since a few years this peculiar character of the alternative European scene sets the clubs on fire with DJ sets built with a lethal mix of Balkan beat, Gipsy groove, Russian ska, Tarantella and Latin Patchanka!!! An imaginary trip, sometimes lysergic, along the Urals, the Balkans, the Appennins and the Pyrenees, all across the whole Mediterranean; in two words: World Music, the one you can’t help but dance instantly! Typically, his appearances in the old continent clubs are characterized by an aura of mystery: often announced only a few hours before they begin, there are still people affirming that DJ Pravda isn’t always the same person every time.
However, being he so shy, not used to popularity and not exactly a people person, you can’t really find that much information about him on the web: he doesn’t want any facebook or Myspace profiles, a personal website or even his own public email address! The only way to get in touch with him is to show up at the bars he usually hangs out at: Estragon in Bologna, the Uley Club in Saint Petersburg, the El Mariachi in Barcelona and the O’Cionnagh Pub in Cork.
At the first EP remixes titled: URBAN BALKAN RMX (2012), will follow in the autumn 2015 the new album remix titled NEVER MIND FREE DRINKS.
