In 2008 two members of a creative union ‘56 STUFF’ DJ Greenleg and Idiosync decided to pay homage to the music they get inspired by and recorded a mix which they called ‘Borschtsch Pogrom’. While being at the opposite ends of the world they were exchanging small bits of mixed tracks, gradually putting them together. The outcome lasts slightly less than 50 minutes and includes 28 tracks of a wide style range — glitchy blues changes into a nu jazz track which gets morphed with Turkish disco which, in turn, gives place to the Japanese duo Cibo Matto... This time the musicians met in their native St. Petersburg in order to give the ‘Borschtsch Pogrom’ concept a new feeling by assembling a new audio collage on the fly.

Max Levitin, well known to all of you under the moniker Kap6uk, visited a studio of the 'Faculty' radio station (FMGU.ru). Of course, he brought with himself lots of different music to play on air. One of the grand melomaniacs among all the '56 STUFF' participants was asked to be a guest in the latest issue of 'Conyburrow'. This show is hosted by Alexandra Saraks and dedicated to chill-out music culture.

The 75-minute recording, which is available for online listening and for free downloading, includes music by Luke Vibert, Bibio, Diskjokke, John Zorn and others, along with interesting dialogues (in Russian, sorry) about musical evolution, its interaction with the entire world and other subjects.
