It was morning stars released on Morphosis Records on the sampler volume 2 that made me sit up and take check on this producer and since then i have kept my ears on all productions.
Since then Abdomen Burst has had a colony of original material and remixes released on quality labels such as Morphosis Records, Digital Sensation UK, Silk Digital Records and Mistiquemusic to name a few.
Some of my favourite tracks over the last year have either been Abdomen Burst's own work or someone remixing he's work, the sound he brings to us is always a unique thought out journey with more layers then the sun, which might be why it always sounds so good on a blist out sunshine day.
If any breakbeat artist is going to hold the record for most free tune giveaways then this crown must go to Abdomen Burst.
Below you can check out a couple of the many free tunes on he's soundcloud (http://soundcloud.com/abdomen-burst/sets/free-tunes-only-for-friends-1/free) and a future production to be released on Scarcity.
Abdomen Burst was also kind enough to take some time and give us an indepth interview so we can all learn a little more about what makes Abdomen Burst tick.

For the people who dont know you, who, were & what is Abdomen Burst?
Hi to everyone, my name is Andrew, i am a sound producer from Russia, created and issued
mainly in the style of music progressive breaks from the end of year 2008, but gradually
grope soil in search of a unique sound. I also experiment with other areas where there is a broken rhythm.
Where did the name Abdomen Burst come from?
It very much a strange story, until now I do not understand why I haven't replaced it.
After all initially i planned to write music in more dancing breaks styles which would kindle
fire in our hearts. I listened to tons of these tracks that was often played in clubs and at parties with
friends and have been precisely assured that I will write such music.
I wanted to find a corresponding nickname for this purpose, trying to find the most suitable and
unusual-aggressive on sounding which would correspond to my future sounding. ?)).
There were attempts to do such music, but long it didn't proceed.
From the moment of my first release, it suddenly all turned over on 180 degrees, i have understood
that my soul lies more to the beautiful atmospheric sounds.
The nickname didn't change, after all who knows what waits for me round the corner, i will probably come to what i always wanted to do.
How long have you been making music, and what made you start producing breakbeat?
As I have told earlier, i begun my career in 2008, having let out the first debut release
Morning Stars on the label Morphosis and having got good support and positive responses from many
musicians and DJs, i understood that this is the right way and has led me to breaks music?
I am simple always (almost since the childhood) i loved live drums, in russia i went and see live groups to see how they play them alive. the combination of hats, snares, a bass which developed in a uniform picture to me resulted in a indescribable delight.
As soon as i have been resolutely adjusted on writing of my own products, it was necessary
to face a new problem with a difficult situation in the country, and in my life, to get access
to musical information it was almost impossible, it was difficult to find/buy electronic music in Russia. I started to write music on the first Playstation console in 2002, i had already written some tracks on the Playstation with a broken rhythm.
Now its cheerfull to remember, but at that time there was no good Internet connections,
therefore it was very difficult to find and download any information, programs, tutorials.
And if there was something to find, there was a problem as it was in the English language which was almost completely deprived of me and impossible to use the found information,but fortunately "Civilization" has reached us and i (and many other things in our country) had an opportunity to create masterpieces ?)).
By the end of 2008 i listened to alot of progressive breaks music, i also managed to generate
my own taste. At that point in time I have started to understand that i want to see and that doesn't
suffice (in my opinion) modern progressive breaks music – listening to various tracks, in some places
I spoke to myself: «And here I would make not so» or «Well, and here what for» or «Well and this moment all spoils it!!!» :)))) and so on …
You have lots of quality melodic music on your soundcloud, i see you give alot of music away for free, why dont you get these released on record labels?
Yes, it is true, "free of charge" you will find a considerable quantity of good tracks in section
which you can download absolutely free of charge (others will be added to the list, check periodically). Recently I have understood that activity of listeners (and also their gratitude) raises, if the track is placed in an easy approach (though clearly that now people are musically formed, and any "shit" even for to download free of charge don't begin)))). At present with me i placed a little by me of my very favourite works with which the most pleasant memoirs are connected. I have decided to lay out as a gift to my future friends and fans. Also there is a competitive remix under the name ‘ Sad Song ’ with live guitars and violins, Unfortunately i haven't won it (and haven't understood why) though till now i receive positive responses. There is one more track, its my first step in sounding unusual to me in a «Dubstep» style. Therefore I have understood that on labels i have enough free tracks, and consequently people will take pleasure at least in a part of my music - free of charge. Only for you dear friends.
There is some great producers coming out of Russia, is Breakbeat music reaching alot of people in russia at the moment?
I can not tell precisely for all Russia :)), but I know that in some places, popularity constantly grows. We don't have serious and scale (constant) raves, the performances devoted to this direction – I think that breaks music in the counrty is still in the underground (about what to speak if after so much years we were reached at last by DubStep).
Certainly, there are dot actions (the largest pass, in my opinion, in Ukraine, St.-Petersburg, sometimes in Moscow) which quite successfully advance this style, but as a whole, having done a bit of traveling on some cities with the performances, I have understood that many people still aren't ready to listen even to such sounding as progressive breaks.
Really at us many serious and successful musicians (very much I appreciate their creativity), working in various directions of breaks music – but in the whole their music it is created/is directed on the foreign listener. Only there it finds the positive response (among listeners and labels) which are interested in it, and the musician feels return for the spent efforts. Too most I can tell and about myself – today to look at statistics enough to understand that mainly my music is listened by 95 % from the borders. Having similar Russian internet portals which devoted electronic music, I understand that the level of the Russian listener is below an average. I am afraid that the moment of how level becomes above – will pass a lot of time. The vicious circle turns out such here.
What else can we expect from Abdomen Burst in the future?
I think, my basic sounding on more modern and club will change further. I do not stop to expand the musical borders. Many plans have already accumulated on the future. Still I continue «to search for myself», after all my purpose still is the exit on new level. After all it would be desirable to think that I one of those musicians which lift the Russian electronic scene on a high step and which can prove that in Russia still has talents. It would be desirable, that "the Russian" sounding differed and learned. Certainly, it sounds a little abstractly – but my purpose at present is that. And I at all have no the representation, in what ways I can reach it ?))))) Time will show.
What is your music Studio set up?
My studio is modest: midi keyboard Edirol PCR30, sound card Motu MK3 Hybrid, controller APC40, Monitors Adam A7, PC, Ableton Suite - unfortunately this is not a"studio." This is a "musician's corner» :)))) I should add that "tough times" in a sense, still exist in Russia. Buy good equipment is still too expensive. I'm not talking about professional "hardware." All that is not expensive abroad - we have two / three times the price. Now something can be ordered from abroad, but connected with this is a large amount of risk - so this option is not for everyone. In any case, I definitely plan to expand the range of equipment in this studio in the future, and move to more professional stuff, and considering that the music was always my first choice - this means that a favorite thing to not spare even the last money .:)))
There is some great Progressive Breakbeat producers pushing the sound forward, which producers are you feeling right now & which music artists inspired you from the past?
Indeed, many musicians inspired me. If we talk about the past, the names that now everyone already knows: Shiloh, Luke Chable, Manipura, Digital Witchcraft, Retroid, Hybrid, Dousk, Boom Jinx, Stefan Anion, Brad Copeland, Dub Pistols, Momu, Sasha, Abakus, Shpongle , Orchid, ProbSpot, of course, Way out west ... Ahhh good memories. Music has always inspired these geniuses on my
"exploits", and helped not to get lost in this complicated and complex world.
As for modern music, the style of progressive breaks are hard to have someone to identify. Given that it is now virtually impossible to find, and major artists in this area can be counted on the fingers. At the moment, periodically releasing this music: Aeron Aether, Monojoke, Schodt, Fretwell, Timewave, Blusoul, His Boy Elroy, Dynamic Ellusion, Phrakture, Duane Barry.
I can also identify several Russian producers, who often delight me with their works is: Affective, Oleg Zubkov, Dmitry Bessonov, Parallax Breakz, therefore if we talk about inspiration i tend to look for him everywhere, completely different styles of music.
Like most musicians who use unconventional approach in his work, looking for a new sound that pays attention to every detail. As well as looking for and I appreciate when there is some idea in his tracks, there are advanced techniques and chips and i am glad that these people very much, and the quality of music every year gets higher and higher.
Three big tunes you are feeling right now & why?
Schodt – Cinematico – fresh breath of air in the progressive music. Henrik made it (^_~).
Soundprank – Detachment - so sensual work, despite the simplicity of the melody and the construction of the track is out the innermost and deepest feelings - when I first heard it, the more unable to forget.
Exoplanet - Fenomeen (Sed Remix) - always quality stuff from this producer, the track brings a new impetus to the concept as progressive breaks although we can say that it sounds on the verge of several styles at once. So deep, as far as your inner world.
