A.k.a. Vladimir Ivanoff

Electricano (Vladimir Ivanoff) was born in Latvia in the small town of Jelgava in 1980. From his childhood he was a huge admirer of good music, which steered him to a career in house music and led him to his current role of DJ and producer. He started DJ-ing in 1997, playing as the resident in clubs of his native city. His favourite styles of music were Funky House, Disco House, Tech, Electro, Progressive House - in fact any kind of house! In 2004 he was invited to work as resident in the best club in Latvia, ‘Nautilus’ which has received the rank “World’s Finest Club” member. As well as his residency nights, he played at the guest DJ on the greatest parties in the country, which has earned him the status of one of the greatest DJ’s in Latvia today. Electricano playedtogether with such DJs as: David Morales, Sander Van Doorn, David Penn, Paul Jackson, Tim Deluxe, Shapeshifters, Chris Lake, Junior Jack & Kid Crème, Marco V, Tom Novy, Layo & Bushwacka!, Joe Le Groove, Marc Hughes, Chloe Harris, Jody Wisternoff, Mark Wilkinson, Jonathan Lislie, Pierre Ravan, Tim Andersen, Guy Williams, Rowan Blades, Martin Enzo, DJ Grad, Happyendless dj team, Bogdan Taran and other… Electricano started to create his own tracks in 1999. At first he did every possible remix and was rather successful under another alias - DJ Fly. The first big success was the track “Remind Me House” which was used vocal samples from Robert Owens and was very positively accepted on the dancefloors. Also on “Remind Me House” was a superb remix by his friend and colleague Mr. Uppfade, who Electricano still works on collaborations with today. “Remind Me House” was also included in various compilations. Then followed even more quality music productions which occupied worthy places in DJ charts outside of Latvia as Electricano started reaching out to the world with his music. “I love your production” was the response from David Penn having heard some his tracks. “Great remix!” said ATFC when he heard his remix of the track “Freaky.” And “your “Harmony of Soul” is amazing!” - Desyn Masiello. Which leads us to the aforesaid track now being signed to Desyn’s Alternative Route. The big success! 04/18/2006 - #01.
