Curse of the Volga: Svirgunov drowned in the river that made Cream Soda famous

The new team returned faith in dance music

The tragic death of musician Dmitry Svirgunov under the ice of the Volga was a shock to the very impressive community that has developed around the Cream Soda group. The team was founded by Dmitry Svirgunov and Ilya Gadaev eleven years ago, and during this time, enthusiasts and lovers of electronic music have become very influential producers and authors of big hits.

Dmitry Svirgunov and his friends decided to take a walk near the musician’s house on the Volga, in Dievo Gorodishe. The company decided to walk across the river to the village on the other side, the ice began to fall under their feet. Dmitry Svirgunov died, his brother Roman and friend Georgy Kiselev went missing. Aristarkh Ukhtomsky got out of the hole, but died in an ambulance…

At the stage of acquaintance in 2008, Svirgunov and Gadaev were passionate about drum and bass and dubstep, but over time, together with the singer Anna Romanovskaya who joined them, they decided to take up more mass music. Perhaps, on the metropolitan electronic scene, they became the ones who were able to reboot the fashion for house and disco and give these styles a lot of informal charm.

The debut album “Fire” was released in 2016 and the tracks of this release immediately hit the charts and dance floors and fashion media reviews. The members of Cream Soda made the next album “Beautiful” as colorful as possible, combining their signature style with hip-hop, funk and booming pop music, and the lyrics became Russian-language. With “Beautiful” began the real triumph of Cream Soda.

The song and video “No more parties” became a double hit on the charts and a locomotive that sent the Comet album to cosmic success. But with the video for the track “I’m crying for techno”, recorded together with the group “Bread”, the musicians seem to have jumped even higher. The video was filmed a few days before the quarantine and, in fact, became one of the musical anthems of the lockdown.

Perhaps unexpectedly for themselves, Dmitry Svirgunov, Ilya Gadaev and Anna Romanovskaya played an important role in the musical biography of Alena Sviridova. Two years ago, Alena, together with Cream Soda, gave a new life to her song “Pink Flamingo”, and the video, filmed by the same dream team under the leadership of Gudkov, brought the idea to a cheerful absurdity, which perhaps impressed even the most unimpressive.

Recently, the band members have been busy looking for a new vocalist, after Anna decided to start a solo career, and were also preparing for concerts in honor of their tenth anniversary. Dmitry and Ilya spent quite a lot of time in the village near Yaroslavl Dievo Gorodishe, where a lot of music was composed and recorded. On the banks of the Volga, a video was filmed for the track of the same name, which now sounds like an ominous prediction. Of course, the banks of the Volga were for Dmitry Svirgunov a place of power, and by an incredible coincidence, it was here that his life ended.
