Ukrainian born Kirill Kalashnikov a.k.a. Wyro started making beats back in distant 1999 while he was living in the small Siberian city Surgut. Surrounded by snow and cold winter wind he started exploring Fast Tracker audio software and building his unique sound - sometimes warm and inspiring as a summer night, sometimes mystical and primal as a voodoo ritual. His first love was jungle and drum&bass and his first tracks under name Implex were made in this genre. Kirill has released numerous tracks, singles, EPs and albums on such respected D&B labels as Formation, Med School, Fokuz, Covert Operations, and Blu Saphir and performed at the biggest festivals such as “The World of Drum&Bass”, “Pirate Station”, “Kazantip” etc.
After 14 years of experiments and performances around the world he found himself comfortable in the deeper side of Minimal House & Techno and changed his name to Wyro. For his today’s production, Kirill is using lots of hardware synths, including a modular case and a few old-school classic Juno’s and Moogs. Apart from producing music as Wyro and making tracks for different vocalists, Kirill is successfully organising big events, running a vinyl label Engineer and one of the top electronic music schools in Russia called Tramplin.PRO with branches in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. His tracks are being played on festivals and in clubs by a very wide range of artists: Guy J, The Prodigy's Leeroy Thornhill, Barac, Raresh, SIT, Silat Beksi, Janeret, iO (Mulen), Nu Zau, Mihai Popoviciu, and many more.
Review: A beat maker since the late '90s, Wyro - after almost nearly a decade - submits hits debut album via Engineer! It's been something of a home base for the producer's work since 2017 (not to mention two banging collabs with DoubtingThomas), and the album hangs of the coattails of classical Berlin minimalisms from the 2000s and its cutting edge contemporary alignments with eastern European taste. There's crafty touches of the Romanian sound too in tracks like "Morpharra" while deeper and progressive notes can be heard on "Tunnel Vision". Tough 909s come through in "Blue Screen" next to more chilled and summery workouts in "No Sightseeing". And for your tunnelling hit, look to the title track of course! Class.
