#RvC Ask: Alexander Popov

Colosseum Club once again hold Armada Night on 29 July 2016. We sat down with one of the artist, Alexander Popov. Check out the interview below!

This is not the first time you come to Jakarta, right? What is the most memorable for you when it comes to Jakarta?
My first time would be around 4-5 years ago. It was memorable for me because it was one of the first international gigs. Before that, I just play on Russia and countries like Ukraine, Belarus. Countries that near to Russia. I still remember that time I played with my friend, LTN.

Personally, we have no idea how Trance scene in Russia. Can you tell us about it?
Well, we have very good producers. To name a few like myself, my friend Arty, Bobina, and DJ Feel. We have guys who produce good music and I believe it will be known to the world soon.

How you get the inspiration for your music?
Basically, everywhere. From life, my family, what’s going on every day. Also from another music, because it inspire me a lot when I hear the track which I very like. I want to try to do something, better than it. That would make produce good music and try develop as an artist.

Which track that you think took a lot of time to finish?
Probably “Personal Way”. I wanted to put a lot of element for this track, different breakdown melodies. I can’t say that was one of my successful track, but I spent a lot of time with it.

What’s the next plan for Alexander Popov?
We’ve released a compilation album months ago on Armada, so we want to do the same plan next year for my brand “Interplay”. So few singles coming up. We just made a track with Christian Burns. Also some instrumental tracks and exciting collaborations. Next single will gonna be on Armind, released on September. We also got two new exciting remixes that will be release soon. No to mention touring around the world. That’s the plan.

​We noticed from Alexander Popov is how proud he is when we talk about Russia. He was very enthusiast talks about the culture and the weather. Thank you for the opportunity!
