A few years later, along with Alexander Polyakov and Roman Korzhov, he created an electronic trans -project PPK - and immediately decided to launch the site.
In the year, he bought a three -letter PPK domain. Now Sergey is selling it for thousands of rubles.
Actually, I bucked up, as you could take. PPK began to look for an option where to place single and albums in good quality. Having stumbled upon the MP3 website. The trend then trans, and even from exotic Russia, quickly gained popularity - PPK had thousands of fans. Site mp3. He created the site in the year, began to publish music in essence with a pirate way and incurred the anger of large labels.
Robertson very much ahead of time - in fact, he already came up with an Internet model of music distribution, while the industry sold cassettes and CD with might and main. We laid out on mp3. Then Robertson got the money somewhere and blew such a concept: once a month to distribute a million dollars to artists for downloading - then there were no sales. Such a startup x, the first bubble of the bubble.
We also learned about it - and decided to participate. When we were credited with the first money, we realized that they need to receive them in America.

Finally, the release was ready - on December 3, he made his debut in the UK Singles Chart in third place.
In Russia, PPK music was not in demand even after success in the West. They turned to the labels from Moscow, but they nodded their heads negatively and said that no one would listen to. As a result, PPK had only a few performances - according to Pimenov’s recognition, they did not even really know the earnings from corporate parties. The second single of the group - Reload, also got into international charts, but had no such much success.
And in the year, the PPK group broke up due to the disagreements of the participants. PPK group in the original PPK composition. But not everything is so simple. The fact is that the original melody on which the Resurrection track is built is not at all PPK musicians. Alexander Polyakov heard her in childhood and played it on the synthesizer as a warm -up. There was no Shazam, for some reason, the group members decided that this was the melody of composer Alexander Petrov.
They contacted him and asked for consent to the use of a melody - he was two hands for. But it soon became clear that the composition belongs to another person - the chief Soviet electronic musician, a real legend to Eduard Artemyev. The melody sounded in the movie "Sibriada" another year.

To date, Pimenov and Poles are engaged in producing various musical and not only projects. Of the Russian performers, PPK in international charts was successful only in the T.
