Vadim Peare, born in Leningrad, USSR (now Saint Petersburg, Russia) and raised in London, England, is a multi-talented artist. He is a producer, DJ, promoter, record collector, radio presenter, occasional painter and writer. Currently residing in both New York City and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
DJ Vadim's music is a unique blend of hip hop, soul, reggae and electronica. His sound has been influenced by artists such as *London Funk Allstars*, *DJ Food*, *Up Bustle & Out* and *The Herbaliser*. With his diverse musical background and extensive knowledge of different genres,
Vadim has previously run Jazz Fudge records. His artistic versatility shines through not only in his music but also in his other creative pursuits. Whether he's spinning tracks at clubs around the world or painting vibrant works of art,

not many - if any - musical biographies open with quotations from richard m nixon. but dj vadim, a.k.a. the john coltrane of hip hop, ain't exactly your average 'round-the-way' producer. needless to say, though producer / dj's these days are a dime-a-dozen, a veteran like vadim is not the kind o' cat to release 12 tracks of the latest in vogue soul loop. in fact his new album, 'u can't lurn imaginashun' is one of the sickest joints on the block, continuing - and embellishing - the producer's inventive journey into the realm of sound. anyone that knows anything about vadim knows to expect the unexpected, and 'ucli' has surprises - and dopeness - in abundance. on 'u can't lurn imaginashun' vadim hits every note and every colour, not just the black and white ones. like all vadim projects, the songs here are fresh, funky and fun. there are reggae rubs that could sit next to desmond decker; neo-soul and conscious-rap jams that recall q tip or jill scott; experimental gems akin to the work of flying lotus or j dilla. mostly though it's the sound of music being embraced and loved, and of a re-inspired life being lived.
