Biography
Alexander Glukhov was born on October 30, 1975 in Moscow, in the family of a radio engineer and teacher. From a young age, little Sasha was actively interested in music. His father’s connections made it possible to get rare recordings of famous foreign musicians at that time, and Sasha had the opportunity to listen to the best Western music, which directly affected his development as a musician and in future creative works. Glukhov’s youth passed rather calmly in a cozy family atmosphere, however, despite her good upbringing and innate talent for learning, the future star was not particularly successful at school, but already at the age of 15, Sasha’s first home recordings begin to succeed with friends and a narrow circle of fans of the popular music.
In his youth, Alexander Glukhov recorded several hundred test mixtapes that were not widely used due to the poor quality of Sasha's home equipment.
Carier start
In the early nineties, Sasha falls into the so-called club party and becomes a regular at the Lucky Star club, without missing a single event. The future musician paid special attention to observing the work of the local club DJ, whose profession attracted Glukhov from the very beginning of his passion for popular music. Gradually, Alexander tries to fulfill the duties of a DJ himself, playing mixes of various popular songs recorded at home. The work of a beginner DJ is popular, and Sasha decides to start a full-fledged career as a musician. In 1991, Alexander takes the pseudonym DJ List, and also publishes at his own expense selected works on cassettes.
Soon, Alexander Glukhov, whose photo will subsequently adorn the covers of many well-known music magazines, purchased medium-quality equipment that allowed him to record music at the level proper for a professional publication.
Soon he is noticed by the creative team of one of the most popular radio channels of that time - M-Radio, and Alexander joins their ranks, immediately receiving the necessary support from the artistic leadership of the channel.
DJ experience
Under the direction of the M-Radio channel, Alexander begins working at once in several well-known clubs in Moscow, actively recording both studio and concert albums. A few years later, Glukhov was invited to the “Night Flight” program, which was hosted by Dmitry Dibrov at that time.

Popularity

The main emphasis by Alexander Glukhov was made on the uniqueness of the author's style. Sasha experimented a lot, actively adding elements of oriental meditation music to his remixes, as well as creating a dense wall of rich sound, introducing a changing dance rhythm into the resulting record.
DJ List has always been a supporter of the search for new elements in existing conceptual genres. Thanks to his practical research, musical genres such as Progressive House, Techno House, Electroclash, Trance, Breakbeat arose.
Despite the active concert activity, DJ List spends a huge amount of time in the studio, actively releasing concert programs, mixtapes and music for various events.
