Ukrainian-born Kirill Kalashnikov a.k.a. Wyro started making beats back in distant 1999 while he was living in the small Siberian city of 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 the 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 Junos and Moogs. Apart from producing music as Wyro and making tracks for different vocalists, Kirill is successfully organizing 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, Arapu, Janeret, iO (Mulen), Nu Zau, Mihai Popoviciu, and many more.
