RUDENKO

With artists like Eric Prydz and Fedde Le Grand, you can always rely on Data Records to spot the biggest dance tracks of tomorrow, and 2009 is no exception. Rudenko is the 23 year old wonderkind from Russia, and a young producer who is tearing up dance-floors across the world with his big room electro. A future star with the weight of the underground behind him, his current bomb, "Everybody", has grown from being the most talked about record of Amsterdam's Dance Event, into one of the hottest dance tracks on daytime radio, being championed by Pete Tong, Zane Lowe, Sara Cox, Vernon Kaye, Scott Mills and Judge Jules. Born and raised in Moscow, Leonid Rudenko is already a household name in his native Russia, where he began producing at 10 years old, experimenting with software and samplers, before forging a successful production and DJ career. He counts Pete Tong and Judge Jules as his biggest UK fans. "Everybody" is released on February 16th.
