For fans of 4hero (Dego), Jazzanova, Seiji...Check it out! Alexander Lay-far is an obsessed music lover, crate digger, dj and producer, based in the heart of Russia - Moscow. He's the author of well-acclaimed In-Beat-Ween Sessions Podcast and a member of Headz.Fm crew, which is responsible for some of the best underground music events in Moscow - within the last years they invited MCDE, Rainer Truby, Seiji, Dorian Concept, 6th Borough Project, Prommer and Barck, Africa Hitech, Dego (4hero), Jazzanova, Dj Krush, Gilles Peterson...to name a few and he plays regularly in Cult and Shanti clubs in Moscow. Besides deep house, broken beat and hip-hop culture in general Alex has been very much influenced by the early-mid 70's jazz-funk and fusion era: Norman Connors, Mizell Brothers, James Mason, Johnny Hammond, Roy Ayers, Cymande, Lonnie Liston Smith, Azymuth, Patrice Rushen, Hermeto Pascoal...and the list goes on & on. Why called his first EP Detour you would say? First of all it's an allusion to the poem by Robert Frost The Road Not Taken and the idea it expresses: there are two ways - one - the easiest and the most common way, and another - a less traveled one, which he choosed and that's the approach Lay-Far tries to implement in music production, dj'ing and life in general.
