Andrey Pushkarev, a pioneer in today’s techno scene, has joined us to discover his 'Not so Serious' side. His unique professionalism and huge musical knowledge made him the perfect artist for the relaunch of our 'Not So Serious' sessions. He is currently doing his first worldwide tour visiting cities such as Moscow, Zurich, Berlin, Rome, San Francisco, Cluj-Napoca, Lyon, Montreal and Philadelphia to name a few. We are pleased to have Andrey with us and listen his opinions on all things ‘Not so Serious’.
1- Something you wouldn’t guess I’m interested in is…
Women. If I see women dancing when I am playing it is the sign I am doing good part of my job.
2- The best club in the world is….
Hidden Club, Solothurn (Switzerland): Hiddenclub
It’s like a little museum - you can observe the details of the space for hours.
3- My perfect gig is...
Daytime in a forest in summer - and with bears :)
4- The greatest DJ of all the time?
DJ Johnny Basil (djjohnnybasil). My Instagram hero at the moment.
5- Favourite food?
Smoothie. It is all I need sometimes especially when I travel and don’t have access to fruits and vegetables. I can be a little lazy after touring and a smoothie satisfies my appetite .. (for a bit!).
6- The future of techno is..
I would need to consult my magic disco ball for this.
7- Your most surprising music influence comes from…
Tchaikovsky’s romanticism and Bach’s melancholic feeling.
8- The strangest venue you’ve played at?
A strip club in Moscow - I was 21 and won’t add more :)
9- A night that went out of control?
This year in Sydney at S.A.S.H. by Night. It’s was like in a rock concert: during my set psquatted towards the ground several times and then jumped when the beat came back after the break in the track. I also saw a guy crowd-surfing for a little while :)

10- What do you do after you have played at an event?
Quiet breakfast at the hotel (no jokes).
11- The goofiest outfit you've ever worn at a party?
Hoodie and pants with Prodigy logo - it was a crazy period of my life ;)
12- You'd never think it but I'm really good at...
Cooking omelette (French style) - and with anything left in the fridge.
13- Tell us a secret…nobody’s listening!
I like flowers.
