F.R.U.I.T.S.

Are Moscow based cult duo ALEXEI BORISOV & PAVEL JAGUN, formed in 1992 to combine different directions of experimental music, such as abstract electronica, noise, rhythmical, minimalism, micro and macro sounds and waves, free improvised voice. Their Laton release „FORBIDDEN BEAT“ represents F.R.U.I.T.S. at the peak of their creativity, with a combination of a bass-heavy danceable electro, drum ‘n’ noise, futuristic soundcapes, dark voice work outs and absurd humour refraining. Both are legends of the Russian underground music scene and well known for their various projects since the early 80ies. BORISOV was and is the driving force behind many Russian new wave, industrial, electronica bands such as TSENTR, NOCHNOI PROSPEKT and VOLGA beside his mostly experimental electronic solo-projects. JAGUN is a well-known Russian composer, electronic specialist and professionally educated musician as a brass player. Since the middle of the 80ies he produces different electronic projects and the most famous alternative rock formation of ex-Soviet Union, MORALNYI KODEKS and during the 70-80s he played in the USSR’s most popular touring pop bands. In Russia he is also very famous as a successful songwriter for chart-topping pop acts and author of many pop and rock hits, for example „Vstretscha na Elbe“ by MEANTRAITORS or „Matrosskaja tischina“ by SPINGLETT on SNC Records.
