Biography
The songs of the group "Multiple" - that rare case in the Russian-speaking rape, when the deep meaning is organically combined, the spiritual feed and pleasant musical accompaniment, which deserves the ranks of the arrangement, and not "minus".Compound
During the years of activity, the Group's composition has numbered a different number of musicians and performers. For example, on November 15, 1998 - it was then that the creative team of "dots" was founded - 12 people consisted in the group, of which half did worked, while the rest were more "for weight."
Of course, the group had a certain backbone, which included Kuzmitch (Ilya Kuznetsov), Grose Thunder, Chuha (Andrei Tarnov), Dimon (Dmitry Sereklin), L.Beeatch, illegal (Lasha Ilnaishvili) and, of course, Rustaveli (Rustam Alautdinov ) - Developer of the Group's Concept and Informal Leader.
A noticeable contribution to the development of "dots" was made by King Kong, Dj Hassan, White Hot Ice, Mahoy, Mikhail Cabinetor and Timbot (the latter was rather an administrator than a musician).
The current composition of the group, which now acts as a "dot" includes Rustaveli, Greed, Victor, Dj Hassan, Sanchez, Andrey, Zhek and J.
Music
From the very beginning, Rustam Alautdinova had a persistent vision of how new rap team should be. With her thoughts, then another young musician shared with comrades, who immediately picked up and developed the idea. So the project "Multiple" appeared, which later became one of the most successful non-consistent projects in Russian rap.
The first studio sessions are dated 1998, and a year later, "Multiple" performed at the largest Russian genre festival Rap Music. Although they did not manage to conquer a prize place, their song "in life it happens" has become a folk hit - largely due to rotation on the radio.
In 2000, the musicians perform at the Festival "Micro 2000". At the same time, the first major restructuring occurs in the "dots", during which many participants are eliminated due to the urgentness. The same year dates back to the first version of "Something else".
The debut album of the group was released only in 2001 and get the name "Life and Freedom". The album consisted of 26 songs that rapper from the "dots" recorded at Dots Family Records studio for the last three years. The hits of the first plate were "Tell me, brother," "Hunger of nuclear craters", "white leaves", "dirty world" and, of course, "in life it happens."
The song "Revelation", also included in the album, served as a soundtrack for the film "Dust" Sergey Loban ("TV", "Chapito-show"), in which Alexey Podolsky and Peter Mamonov littered.
"Life and Freedom" was released by the label "Quadro-Disk". Due to the inattention director of the group during the signing of the Distribution Treaty, the musicians did not receive absolutely no profits from the sales of the album.
The same album "Multiple" was released at the end of November 2002. The new plate also consisted of 26 compositions and was called "atoms of consciousness." The hits of "Atoms of Consciousness" became the composition "Skimit in the shower of longing", "everything is to blame", "the last meeting" and, of course, "I'm going to grave."
One of the songs of this album - "America" - was also used in the film, this time in the comedy "Hottabych" Petra Topchilin ("Up to", "Hunting on a root"), in which Vladimir Toloisonnikov, Honored Artist (" Dog's heart, "Grandma of Easy Behavior").
In 2003, together with the team M.Squad, musicians from the "Dots" began work on the project "Third Way". At the same time, a new wave of restructuring in the group began. As a result, by the end of this year, "Multiple" released a "non-mechanical" release, consisting of 13 tracks (7 of which - remixes of old songs), and jointly with M.Squad "the third way. Burim 12 "came out already in 2004.
All 2005 passed for a group in tours - no new releases were planned. The situation was similar in the next year - with the only difference that the speeches became noticeably less. The official reason was the statement that the musicians began to give personal life more time, but the emergence of individual participants in the "dots" in third-party projects spoke about the opposite.
The group officially broke up in 2007 - the musicians themselves were informed about this fans, without specifying the reasons for such a decision.
One way or another, but the backbone of "dots" led by Rustaveli remained. It was decided to continue to perform, but already like DOTSFAM (in honor of the recording studio, on which many participants of the "dots" with each other and met). Under the new name, the musicians performed with separate "dots" compositions, and also recorded a new material.
Total Dotsfam released three albums: Fuckt # 1 (2005), Zombusiness (2009) and "Mirrors" (2011). After that, it was decided to return to the previous name. Starting in 2011, the musicians act as a "dot band".
The current style they call art rap, but are not very offended when they are related to alternative raep. Rapers do not use recorded arrangements, preferring to speak live. In 2013, the team released two records at once - The Living Truth and the Territory of Desires, and in 2014 only one - "under the asphalt sky".
It is also worth mentioning that some songs group are attributed to erroneously. So it happened, for example, with "breathe", which in fact is called "Look at the sky" and is written by a group of "Breath" (and the guys from the "dots" just released it on the interjavorivative compilation).
"Multiple" now
In 2017, Rustaveli, with the support of colleagues in the group, released an album "The Mirror for the Hero", during the presentation of which casually mentioned that the guys from the "Band dot" work on a new material. In addition, the musicians continue to actively speak with the old program - the nearest of these speeches will be held in early February in the metropolitan club GLASTONBERRY.Discography
