A few years ago, "Disco Crash" regularly went to the top of the charts. The composition of the group has changed over this time. Career "emergency workers" began to decline. However, their songs can still be heard at rural and urban discos. Music channels broadcast music videos that have brought trio popularity. Do you know when the "Disaster Crash" was created? Do you know the composition of the group (old)? Below is all the necessary information.
Group Creation History
Alexey Ryzhov and Nikolai Timofeev are old school friends. Together they participated in KVN, and in the late 1980s decided to create a group. At first, the guys acted as disc jockeys at club discos. And in June 1990, Alexei and Nikolai sang. The first group of the Disco Crash group was a duet. The collective did not immediately receive its sonorous name. Before this, options such as “Fire Extinguisher” and “Interviews” were tried. The guys worked in the walls of the club "Crash". It was this institution that subsequently became the source of the name of the group.
Initially, Nikolai Timofeev and Alexei Ryzhov chose the rock direction. But due to lack of money and high-quality equipment, they had to take up another matter, namely holding discos.
New members
In the early 90's, few people knew what “Disco Crash” is. The composition of the group replenished in 1992. Its new member was the former actor Oleg Zhukov. After 4 years, the trio turned into a quartet. Alexei Serov joined the guys. In this composition, the "emergency workers" performed at discos and public events in the city of Ivanovo.
In 1997, their first album, “Dance with Me,” was released. Disks instantly bought up by the residents of the Ivanovo region. The guys were happy, but continued to dream of all-Russian glory.
In 1999, Alexei Ryzhov contacted representatives of the Soyuz studio and offered them several compositions. Producers from Moscow became interested in the group. And soon the “emergency workers" were expected to tour the country, high fees and crowds of fans. They were invited to television and radio broadcasts.
In 2001, "Disco Crash" released the album "Maniacs", the entire circulation of which was sold out in a few days. The guys were awarded the prestigious Record Prize.
In February 2002, the group lost one of the members. After a long illness Oleg Zhukov left this world. For the rest of the emergency workers, this was a real blow. Therefore, it was decided to suspend the activities of the group for a while.
Since 2003, Disco Crash began to flicker on music television channels. The composition of the group was still a trio. Nobody wanted to look for a replacement for the dead Oleg Zhukov.

Nikolay Timofeev left the group
In 2012, one of the founders of Disco Crash announced his retirement. Nikolai Timofeev gave work in this team for over 22 years. The news of the departure of a pretty brunette was a real blow to his fans. Soon Timofeev admitted to reporters that he did not leave the group at his own request. He was literally forced to do this. With each year, relationships with colleagues became increasingly unbearable.
Nikolai announced that he did not plan to pursue a solo career. Today he makes a living by writing songs and creating phonograms for various events. Unlike his colleagues in show business, Timofeev does not prohibit Ryzhov and Serov from performing compositions written by him.
The new composition of the group "Disco Crash"
The place of Nikolai Timofeev who left the collective was taken by the talented vocalist Anna Khokhlova. 22-year-old girl did not pass the casting. The children were recommended by the famous rapper Serega. Anna Khokhlova participated in the Ukrainian show “X-Factor” (season 3), where she demonstrated excellent external and vocal performance.
