Proxy live (RUS)
From the ashes of the Soviet empire, from the flames of history, rises Proxy. Post 9/11 rave vibes cloaked in Muscovite angst. A line drawn in smoking rubble along the border dividing East and West, Stüssy and Spetsnaz. After being truly changed by The Prodigy in 97, Proxy is now remixing for them amongst other artists such as Peaches, Digitalism, Boys Noize, Tiga, Moby and Chromeo. Another proud member of Planet Turbo, Proxy will returning to Australia to perform alongside his label mates this June.
