Denis A is a perfectionist with ambitions to become a great artist, and is still proud to DJ mostly with vinyl, which he argues gives him the necessary “feel” to create his breathtaking and highly memorable sets. This love of vinyl has been very important in his decision to make sure that his DAR label releases are available on 12” for vinyl collectors in addition to the more usual digital format these days.

Releases have featured handpicked remixes by the highly talented Style Of Eye, Solaris Heights, Pig & Dan, Wally Lopez, Robert Babicz, Spooky, King Unique and Nick Muir. Denis has also made the point of pushing the most exciting new talented producers forward by featuring remixes from Fran Von Vie, Scotty.A, Egor Boss, Nikitin, Grigory Fatyanov, Beltek, among others. The legendary Russian DJ/Producer Boris The Spyder has also made a very welcome appearance.

“Denis A is a true ambassador for underground music in Russia.” – Timo Maas

In 2010 Denis organized a DAR Label float at the world famous LOVEPARADE (Germany) and a DAR stage at the huge Kazantip Republik (Ukraine). The Kazantip stage has just been repeated in the summer of 2011. The first show was a preview of a forthcoming new DAR sub-label RA:DAR, which featured artists such as Guy J, Sahar Z, Spy.der, Fish, Denis A. The main show was the closing party of ‘Z’ Republik, where the main stage was given entirely to the DAR label, where Denis A was joined by John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, playing to 15,000 people.

In 2012 Denis make a such a greats events at Anniversary Kazantip Republik ‘Z XX’ with Guy J, Timo Maas, Henry Saiz, Layo & Bushwacka, Nick Muir, Guy Mantzur & Sahar Z and more.

“Denis is definitely giving the scene in Moscow and the whole of Russia a lot of positive energy as a DJ with his great DJ skills, with his productions, his parties and his excellent record label DAR!” – Marco Bailey

As the label grows in stature, DAR tracks have now started appearing on compilations, such as Ministry Of Sound (Germany) dedicated to the Love Parade (Denis A – Brutalizm), and a compilation from the legendary Bora Bora (Denis A – Tsunami) by DJ Gee. Denis A prepare a first offcial worldwide compilation of Kazantip Republik include tracks by Guy J, Robert Babicz, Timo Maas, Luis Junior, Cid In, Guy Mantzur & Sahar Z, Nick Muir, Ian O’Donovan and many more.
