Russia’s not the first place you think of when you listen to this exotic, groove-laden, summery mix of hip-hop and reggae – but that’s exactly where the marvellous DJ Vadim is from. St. Petersburg to be precise. But being raised in London exposed him to plenty of cool urban flavours, which he has been giving his own irresistible twist on since way back when in 1994. Am immensely talented musician, producer and DJ, he’s worked with everyone from Sly & The Family Stone to Stevie Wonder to Prince, and after beginning his career with Ninja Tune in the mid-‘90s, he’s gone on to deliver many a classic oeuvre. 2007’s The Soundcatcher is our favourite, although his new album U Can’t Lurn Imaginashun (sic) is killer too. If you don’t know already, get to know – and make sure you catch one of his live shows if you ever get to the chance, featuring the vocal talents of his wife Yarah Bravo.What’s your personal favourite track on it?The first, the second, the third...I love 'em all and they all come from my heart. It's a special mix I have done after returning from the Holy Land!!

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?Well if I gave the secret best ingredient away, it wouldn’t be a surprise or a delight. I love it all.

What’s the best gig you’ve played recently?Tel Aviv - huge. 800 people going crazy hands in the air.

What have you got coming up? New album - DJ Vadim - U Can't Lurn Imaginashun. My best album to date!

And finally, do you have a special message for our readers?Peace love and unity...and bring down the apartheid wall in Israel.
