"At the forefront" of the dance music of the "zero" were several pop groups, but "Disco Crash" - one of those that were entrenched for the next decade. The country celebrated the Millennium under the New Year's Eve, and nine years later, at corporate parties, they danced round dances under the Fashionable Dance of Aram-Zam-Zam. The activity of the group, which began with the duet and, continues to this day, despite the fact that only Ryzhov remained from the "golden composition" of the team.
It is not known whether Russian dance music would have been replenished with hits from Disco Crash if the founders of the group were better off. In the late 80s, perestroika gave a second wind to rock bands, songs are no longer played at apartment houses, but in clubs and festivals, and students of the Ivanovo Energy Institute Nikolai Timofeev and Alexei Ryzhov are not at all averse to following in the footsteps or.
However, novice musicians, familiar from the university KVN, do not have enough money for instruments and equipment, and the creative tandem decides to start with discos. Since 1988, the duet has been holding parties both within the walls of the institute and in the Ivanovo club "Avariya". The history of the band's name acquisition has long become a legend. According to her, at the time of the concert, the wiring was short-circuited, and the lights went out. The panic almost started, but Timofeev managed to defuse the situation with a joke:
“Calm down, everything is fine! After all, we are "Disco" Accident "!"
In the early nineties, Timofeev and Ryzhov were invited to review new songs, first on the Ivanovo Regional Radio Ivanovo, and then on the regional radio station of the Europe Plus network. DJs win the sympathy of the public not only by broadcasting, but also by covers of foreign hits, as well as parody compositions.
Oleg Zhukov fought the disease On the radio, artists perform under the name "Disco Crash". In 1992, he joins the duet. Having an acting education, the new member successfully joins the team.
The fourth "Avarian" of the "golden composition" of the team studied with Timofeev in the same school. He joined the group after the release of the first disc "Disco Crash" in 1997. In this composition, the team has been working for five years.
The year 2002 was marked by a tragic event for the group. Zhukov, whose recitative has become a kind of hallmark of the hits of the "Avarians" ("New Year", "Attraction", "X.X.X. and R.N.R"), is dying after a long struggle with cancer. After a short break, the artists resume performances as a trio. In an interview, the musicians refute rumors about the casting for the fourth member, emphasizing that Oleg was a friend to all three and it is impossible to replace him.
Ten years later, soloist Nikolai Timofeev leaves Disco Crash. The musician, commenting on the decision, says that he does not see further creative development in the team. In 2012, the artist begins his solo career. Between him and Ryzhov there are courts on the issue of rights to joint creativity. In the end, the court takes the side of the songwriter: Timofeev is forbidden to sing compositions written by Ryzhov at his concerts.
Already three months after the departure of Nikolai Ryzhov, on the recommendation of the rapper, he accepts into the team. A native of Chelyabinsk participated in the third season of the Ukrainian project X-factor, but failed to reach the final. But the artist entrenched herself in the Disco Crash. Ryzhov, Serov, Khokhlova - the composition has remained unchanged since 2012.
The year 1997 can be considered the start of the band's biography: the first album "Dance with me" was released on cassettes. It was distributed through music stores and kiosks in Ivanovo and neighboring regions. "Avarians" began to listen in Kostroma, Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod, Yaroslavl. The conquest of the capital began with cooperation with the Soyuz studio. Representatives of the recording company include the compositions of the Ivanovo team in their branded collections.
The song "Drink beer!" group "Disco Crash"In 1999, the albums "Song about you and me" and "Marathon" were released, but the real success came to the artists with the fourth disc. "Crash Vs!" concentrated the dance charge of the group's creativity.
In 2000, discos sounded both original compositions, for example, “Drink beer!”, And remix versions of pop hits: “Attraction” (a remix for the song of the “Zhuki” group), “Chao, Bambina!” (remix of the band's song) and others. At the same time, "New Year's" is also gaining popularity - a song released six months before the release of the fourth album.
The song "New Year" by the group "Disco Crash"From the video for the song "Attraction" begins the band's fruitful collaboration with director Hindrek Maasik. In the future, the Estonian clip maker will shoot 26 more videos for "Avaria". And six of them are for songs from the fifth album "Maniacs", which the musicians will release a year after the success of the previous disc.
In the new release, dance hits with ironic and hooligan lyrics are combined with lyrical, melancholic compositions such as "Sky" and "Disco Superstar". The latter is reminiscent of a dedication to Oleg Zhukov: he dies three months after the release of Maniacs.
The song "Sky" by the group "Disco Crash"The tragic event in the band's biography coincides with the triumph deserved by the hits from the Maniacs. Since 2002, the group members have repeatedly received awards from Muz-TV, Russian Radio, Avtoradio and other channels and stations. But the main award is the MTV Music Europe Awards - in 2002, the music channel calls "Disco Crash" "The Best Russian Performer".
In 2003, the "Avarians" make their debut in the frame. In December, the channel "Russia" releases the New Year's musical tape "The Snow Queen", where the artists play a gang of robbers. The song they sang is released in the sixth album of the Four Guys team, which is published in 2006.
The song "If you want to stay" by the group "Disco Crash"The disc is dedicated to Oleg Zhukov. Leading hits "If You Want to Stay" and "Opa!" Harvest another harvest of premiums.
By the beginning of the "tenths" "Accident" is increasingly creating duets. The group collaborates with, and others. In the former role of the robbers, the "Avarians" appear in the New Year's project "The New Adventures of Aladdin", created by order of "Russia-1".
The song "Dreamer" of the group "Disco Crash"After the departure of Timofeev, the group is in a creative search, the result of which in 2014 is the album "The Girl Driving". Clips were shot for seven tracks of the disc, including the hits “Feet-Feet” and “K.U.K.L.A.”. In 2017, the group gives a grand concert at the Izvestia Hall, returning iconic hits to the repertoire and performing fresh compositions. The event was broadcast live on YouTube.
In 2018, the radio rotation was replenished with another hit of the group: the musicians, together with Nikolai Baskov, recorded a cover of the retro composition Dreamer. The song features vocals from the original version.
The song "Welcome to Russia" by the group "Disco Crash"In July 2018, during the World Cup in Russia, the song Welcome to Russia was released. The group continues to tour, performing not only solo, but also in projects dedicated to the music of the 90s and the "zero".
The founders of the group were classmates Nikolai Timofeev and Alexei Ryzhov, who played together in KVN. As disc jockeys, they organized discos in clubs. Andrey Vaganov became the first director. The main place of their work was the club "Crash" at Lenina Avenue, 21, which later served as the source of the name. From to the duet hosted a program called " Diskoteka Avaria"On the radio" Europe plus Ivanovo "and on the local radio channel" Echo ", broadcast on the frequencies of radio" Mayak "in Ivanovo (in 1997 - on the last Sundays of the month), the program was devoted to reviewing musical innovations. As part of the program, Timofeev and Ryzhov made remixes of famous songs, performed parody songs. Monthly until the fall of 1998, collections called "Disco Crash" with the latest novelties of foreign dance music were released.
Alexey Serov. 2011
"Disco Crash" took part in the filming of the New Year's light of the TV channel "Russia" as robbers. In May 2005, Alexei Serov was hospitalized after an attack on him by unknown bandits, and at the Muz-TV 2005 awards, the Disco Crash participants performed together. Alexey returned to duty a few months later.
The group "Disco Crash" has become a visible embodiment of the thesis "whatever you call a yacht, so it will float."
One member of the team - Oleg Zhukov - died on February 11, 2002 from brain cancer. Another - Alexei Serov - almost died in his time from a stray bullet. The same Serov not so long ago got into an accident. Finally, the charismatic Nikolai Timofeev was recently fired from the group.
Nikolay Timofeev
Concerning the reasons for the change in the line-up, a laconic wording was given on the Disco Crash website: “Nikolai Timofeev left the team, opting for solo work. The ex-member of the band is currently working on his own material, as by law, Nikolai does not have the right to perform the songs of "Disco" Crash "at his concerts(legally, all rights to the group's compositions belong to their author Alexei Ryzhov). The team will continue to exist as part of Alexei Ryzhov and Alexei Serov.
Timofeev himself is convinced that things with his departure are far from being so rosy. The other day, he saw fit to issue a statement where he lamented that his former colleagues were more concerned about copyright than broken friendships. “I will answer this like this: you continue to perform using phonograms with a recording of my voice. Thus, mislead the listeners, forcing them to think that nothing has changed in the sound of the group with my departure. You can take away my songs, title, work, anything, but my voice and the love of the audience will remain with me. I wish my former colleagues the same thing that they wish me, ”Timofeev writes without hiding his bitterness.

In a recent interview with the Metro newspaper, the disgraced "Avarian" expressed himself even more specifically. In his opinion, the enslaving terms of the contract with him were foreseen in advance by the rest of the group members. “Prohibiting the use of your voice in their speeches under our legislation is almost impossible. Former colleagues will still do it. Now I want to understand what I have and what I have lost, according to the legal papers. All legal issues in the team were dealt with by A.B.Serov, and, apparently, for some long time he had already planned and assumed what happened now,” said Nikolai Timofeev.

Timofeev is currently on a sabbatical. He sees the future as very vague, but he is already considering what his solo project could be. " I can only say that I would like to make more modern music”, Timofeev admitted to the Metro newspaper. His first "single" performance took place on July 18 as part of the "Slavianski Bazaar" festival in Vitebsk.

A few years ago, Disco Crash regularly went to the top of the charts. The composition of the group has changed during this time. The career of the "Avarians" began to decline. However, their songs can still be heard in rural and urban discos. On music TV channels, the clips that brought the popularity of the trio are played. Do you know when Disco Crash was created? Do you know the composition of the group (old)? Below is all the necessary information.
Alexey Ryzhov and Nikolai Timofeev are old school friends. Together they participated in KVN, and in the late 1980s they decided to create a group. At first, the guys acted as disc jockeys at club discos. And in June 1990, Alexei and Nikolai began to sing. The first composition of the Disco Crash group was a duet. The team did not immediately receive its sonorous name. Before that, options such as "Fire Extinguisher" and "Interview" were tried. The guys worked within the walls of the club "Accident". It was this institution that later became the source of the name of the group.
Initially, Alexey Ryzhov also chose the rock direction. But due to the lack of money and high-quality equipment, they had to do something else, namely holding discos.
In the early 90s, few people knew what Disco Crash was. The group was replenished in 1992. A former actor became its new member. After 4 years, the trio turned into a quartet. Alexey Serov joined the guys. In this composition, the "Avarians" performed at discos and public events in the city of Ivanovo.
In 1997, their first album was released, which was called "Dance with me." The discs instantly sold out the area. The guys were happy, but continued to dream of all-Russian glory.
In 1999, Alexey Ryzhov contacted representatives of the Soyuz studio and offered them several compositions. Producers from Moscow became interested in the group. And soon the "Avarians" were expected to tour the country, high fees and crowds of fans. They were invited to TV 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" award.
In February 2002, the group lost one of its members. After a long illness, Oleg Zhukov left this world. For the rest of the "Avarians" it was a real blow. Therefore, it was decided to suspend the activities of the group for some time.
Since 2003, "Disco Crash" began to flicker again on music TV channels. The composition of the group was still a trio. Nobody wanted to look for a replacement for the deceased Oleg Zhukov.
Was born in 1970 in Ivanovo. His parents are middle class. At school, Lesha was an active October student, a pioneer, and then a Komsomol member. Teachers and parents doted on him.

In 2012, one of the founders of Disco Crash announced his retirement. Nikolai Timofeev has worked in this team for more than 22 years. The news of the departure of a handsome brunette was a real blow to his fans. Soon Timofeev admitted to reporters that he left the group not of his own free will. He was literally forced to do it. With each passing year, relationships with colleagues became more and more unbearable.
Nikolai announced that he did not plan to pursue a solo career. Today, he makes a living writing songs and creating soundtracks for various events. Unlike his colleagues in show business, Timofeev does not forbid Ryzhov and Serov to perform compositions written by him.
The place of Nikolai Timofeev, who left the band, was taken by the talented vocalist Anna Khokhlova. The 22-year-old girl did not pass the casting. She was recommended to the children by the famous Anna Khokhlova participated in the Ukrainian show "X-factor" (season 3), where she demonstrated excellent external and vocal abilities.
