Life and musical career
edit
Originally from Minsk, Belarus, Alexei started discovering the world of electronic music in early 90s. But the strongest influence on establishing his musical preferences carried the famous How Much is the Fish from Scooter. His acquaintance with trance music began in 2005 from such DJs as George Acosta and Armin van Buuren.[3] UCast took his first steps into music production in 2006/2007, and soon released his single called Through Depth. During the next two years such tracks as Fuck The Global, Calipso, Metro, Hesperia, One Day were released.
At the same time he started producing, UCast began DJing and his first success came in 2009, when he was playing at Godskitchen Belarus with Sander van Doorn. After that, he was hosting such famous events as Global Gathering, Trancemission, FSOE Anniversary. In 2013 his track Genesis was awarded as "The Tune Of The Week" in the radioshow A State of Trance and Armin van Buuren's mashup UCast vs. MaRLo "Genesis Boom" has been played during his world tour show "ASOT 600. The Expedition Tour".[4]
