In 1994, Vadim founded his own independent record label, Jazz Fudge.  The following year he was signed to Ninja Tune and promptly introduced to the world by John Peel and Gilles Peterson.  So begun Vadim’s adventure which has seen him tour across 77 countries, 6 continents and perform over 3000 times.

A prolific DJ & Producer, Vadim is an evolutionist in sound, constantly pushing boundaries and collaborating creating fresh, unique global beats and sounds, so to actually pinpoint exactly what Vadim sounds like is not so easy.  There are many producers that you can pin to simply tech house, glitch or reggae but Vadim connects quite a few dots which are forever expanding with time.  Whatever the genre, his sounds are rooted in percussive rhythms, big basslines, soulful and organically heartfelt flavours. From hip hop to house, electronic to reggae from Africa to the world whatever it’s called Vadim is here bump the party.

Vadim doesn’t come alone. He has produced for Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Wretch 32, Foreign Beggars, Prince, Aaron Jerome (SBTRKT),The Cure, Corine Bailey Ray, Bassnector and of course the long standing relationship with Fat Freddy’s drop with whom Vadim has collaborated with extensively remixing their back catalogue and being tour DJ.

15 solo albums, 5 mix CD’s, 7 group albums, countless mix CD’s and remixes to date… you can be sure of one thing, when Vadim first heard the phrase « Don’t sleep », he obviously took it literally!

Not content with being uber busy, Vadim has taken it upon himself to film and direct music video’s as well as having a very keen eye as a budding photographer. Music aside, there is even word of a possible pop up restaurant and bar. If the music is anything to go by, it will be very fine tasting indeed.

His last album, « Lost & found » was released in 2020
