Our review of the AfterHours 2009 sets continues with our very own DJ Dima. This was his second appearance at AfterHours, where he previously rocked the house and melted faces with his incredible blend of progressive and tech. Would he rock the free world again in 2009? Of course he would! {enclose specials_ah2009_dima.mp3}
Even as a young boy just learning drums, Dmitri Vaganov (a.k.a., Dima) knew that the beat was part of what defined him. Shortly after moving to the USA at age 16 from his birthplace in Moscow, Russia, he became heavily involved in the music scene. He was deeply immersed in producing and DJing at local clubs. It was his obsession. This secular lifestyle, however, took a heavy toll on him and after experimenting with drugs, alcohol, and other sinful aspects of the clubbing life, he finally found something else in his life that truly defined him--Jesus Christ.
