‘Delhi is always fun!’

They call themselves Hard Rock Sofa. From EDC Chicago to Dance Valley and Pacha Ibiza to Ultra Music Festival, the Russian DJ duo’s global presence has blazed through and Dimension RED got them back to the Capital for a full-house show. We caught up with the guys for a little chat. Read on...

In 2005 we started off as a trio. All 3 of us (Alexander Shapovalov - producer/DJ, Denis Chepikov - producer/ DJ, Sergey Zuev - vocals) live in the same town, Smolensk. We’d known each other and been friends much longer before we organised Hard Rock Sofa. The two of us (Alex and Dan) were DJing in local clubs while Sergey was performing with his rock band. As Hard Rock Sofa we toured throughout Russia and Europe but recently Sergey Zuev left to pursue his own career as a lead singer in a rock ‘n’ roll band.

 Our collaboration with St. Brothers for the single Blow Up in 2011 was a big break.

Blow Up has to be our favorite one as it has gained anthem status. But apart from that Here We Go, Quasar and Rasputin have been very successful.
