Sergei also promoted monthly thursday club night trilogy called LIZARD with dj veterans in line up hosting up'n'coming heroes of club scene in Tampere.
--- MEDIA PERSON : Since late 2003 Sergei with his friend drS runs radio show called "MADWAVE ON AIR", which is the only electronic dance music & club culture related radio show in Finland's second biggest city, Tampere. Show started its broadcasts in 2003, in order to provide quality trance & progressive house music to the clubbers in area. One hour slot always includes hot new tunes, club gossip, event reviews, essential classics and guest dj mixes from world's biggest dj's like Mike Koglin, Lange and K90. In the beginning show has been broadcasted every other Wednesday, but due to excellent feedback "MADWAVE ON AIR" received from listeners, since autumn 2005 show can be listened every Monday from 21 till 22. Tune in and enjoy!
--- PRODUCER : Always being more than interested in producing his own tracks, in 2004 Sergei finally got his chance to challenge himself with making tunes. He joined forces with no less than Joonas Hahmo, Electric Sauna records label manager and one half of such projects as ALT+F4, Avanto & Magellan Project. The result of this collaboration was a trance track called "Firefly", which was remixed by Matti Kotala under the name of Magellan Project and received exellent crowd reaction on the dancefloors. After this first experience, Joonas and Sergei are currently working on their second tune, set to be ready before the end of 2005.
