Bio: It's a paradox, but from the very beginning Oleg Gitarkin felt himself squeezed, framed in "Messer fur Frau Muller", which he founded and managed within 10 years, and in 1998, like an alternative, he created "MFFM", new project "Messer Chups". First material, which was recorded together with Slava Amigo, did not go further, then the ears of the close friends, although it gained some interest. In the spring of 1998, promouter-girl from Hamburg Anette Schneider is arriving to Saint-Pete and expresses the wish to meet the musicians from "Messer Fur Frau Muller" personally, the tracks of this group she heard many times in Hamburg clubs, - so she gets acquainted with Oleg Gitarkin. In September,1998 Anette Schneider joins "Nozhik Chups" in Hamburg, and the name varies with German "Messer Chups". Later Oleg returns to the wet Petersburg and receives voice-mail from Anette, and he is using her magnificent voice for the samples. This way, some tracks appeared, which, being remixed, compiles the first album, named "The Beast and the Beast". In 1999 Oleg Gitarkin invites his old friend Igor Vdovin to play the keyboards, who before that left the position of the vocalist of "Leningrad". They record the compositions, which in the future makes up the basis of the album "Miss Libido 2000", it was released on Solnze Records and it's where the track "Contact 1,2,3,4" was taken from.

Track: Track was recorded 1999 during first session of Messer Chups directly after Oleg Gitarkin bought his first PC (Our german partners Edition Stora sold one track of Messer Fur Frau Muller to DEUTSCH BANK for Advertising TV clip and for his part of Gage -300 US$ Gitarkin bought this Pentium 90 with 12" monitor and without CD-Rom drive). All samples were taken through noname cheap chinese ghettoblaster with absent taste "play" and this funktion was activated with screwdriver which keeps it "on". For me it was very big surprise, I understood that professional equipment is no more nesessary for good musicians and I moved to Moscow to start label Solnze. - Oleg Tarassov
