Dreamlin is an electronic music group from Belarus. Dreamlin, hailing from Minsk, Belarus started when Egor Kunovsky, who had long been involved with music software and computers, met Denis «C4» Korabkov, who used to play guitar with a local cult, psychedelic reggae band at the time.
In 2000, they teamed together as Dreamlin and had their music used in several underground films and videos worldwide as well hitting the #1 artist spot at Ampcast.com in summer 2001.
In 2002 they started playing to live crowds and soon became the most requested electronic act in the country. Their constant love to mixing electronic and live instruments brought on stage a vocalist and several other people who played guitars, drums and electronic drums, flute and all kinds of percussion.
By 2004 Egor plays most of the gigs together with multyinstrumentalist Andrey Karpovich, while Denis prefers studio work, now not only with Dreamlin project. Collaborative tracks do not include just local live musicians; the geography of people who worked with Dreamlin spreads from Finland to Hawaii.
The style of the music that Dreamlin produces is not limited to a genre or two. No matter that on most flyers Dreamlin is listed as downtempo, you can hear almost any kind of electronic music except trance in their sets. All kinds of broken beats are preferred, but some mellow chill-out house tune is also quite likely to be heard.
The first album, The Colour Of The City was released in 2004 in Belarus, in 2005 in Russia and 2006 saw it available on digital download sites worldwide.
The second album is still in the works. In fact, they recorded an instrumental version of the album, made it available at Last.fm and are currently looking to find people who would do vocal parts on all of the tracks. The first ready track features Anna Lazarevich who previousely was a member of Dreamlin and now works together with Denis as Stars Alliance.
In 2006 Dreamlin was first invited to play a gig outside of ex-USSR and later was listed at the biggest open-air event in Belarus, which takes place yearly at Borovaya aero-club near Minsk. 2007 the band was also announced at the event, but the event was cancelled and moved to a club where only a few artists from the original line up could play due to the lack of space and time.
In 2007 Andrey has left the country and thus no longer plays with the band.
The second standalone release of music by Dreamlin is the Monday Islands EP released in 2008 as digital download.
- Denis is also writing music with projects including Stars Alliance, Cubalibre and Red Groove.
- Andrey is also member and leader of countless rock bands, one of which, Parason won Basovišča festival in 2006.
- Egor is also a member of the crew of several promo groups and record labels.
