We’re delighted to welcome Dimitri Veimar to the series . Currently in Barcelona for Sonar week, we caught up with him a few days earlier. The man from Moscow now spends his time between Russia and Berlin and counts Tiga, Daniel Avery and Erol Alkan amongst others as big fans. In his own words about the mix he said ‘I always have been more into break beat and electro and this mix is 100% broken and fits me 200%’.
