DJ Bruno

DJ Bruno (Perfect Groove Foundation/ Electrica/ UA) It all started back to 1990 from the tape with new kind of music Acid House. This made Alec to get deeper in the music and to start the mixing. First experiments took place in the private home parties and in the institute where Alec got his education. At that time there was no turntables in Saint Petersburg so all the mixing have been done on the tape recorders.
