St Petersburg-based producer and DJ Kirill Sergeev, aka Kito Jempere, is next in line to contribute a mix to La.Ga.Sta’s ongoing series of mixtapes based on our co-drivers favourite year in music. Our beloved producer “drives through” his favourite year, 1985, and delivers a sublime 64-minute mixtape full of ’80s Russian tracks that’s perfect for your next car ride. Play it loud, and ride with us.

In his own words: “I picked the year me and my wife were born. As Russian kid some music came to us later, so I even remember the sound of music I played here. This mix is full dedication also: it begins with Aquarium and ends with Kino — all in between is pure ’80s love and a love letter to my darling Nastya, who is celebrating her birthday today. Love you my girl.”
