It is not known whether the presence of her man at the shooting influenced Irina, but the singer was not just in a good mood - she sang, danced and had fun like a little girl. And in general, it will probably be difficult to find a more cheerful couple than Ira and Leonid. Both quickly stirred up the entire OK! team, and the work boiled over in an atmosphere of absolute fun. The interview was also unusual. The fact is that Ira and Lena did not have to ask many questions: they themselves told almost everything that could be asked. True, they often interrupted each other to insert another joke. But it was precisely the sense of humor, as they say, that once brought them together.
Ira, Leonid, let's do everything in order. When and how did you meet?
Irina: That was three years ago, and it's already the fourth.
Leonid: We met on the set of one program, the essence of which was to determine which of the three participants is a couple for the main character. The star jury asked them all questions and thus tested their intuition. I remember that Dominic Joker and I sat and waited for Dubtsova, who was terribly late. I thought she would come all so pretentious ...
AND.: And I - in full dress - came by metro, because there were traffic jams on the roads. I don't like to be late and I'm never late at all, but here it is ... I was stressed!
L.: As a result, Ira and I were put next to each other, and we had a cabal. The show is entertaining, so a sense of humor was an important element there, and we simply did not allow Lena Temnikova to broadcast - we almost disrupted the shooting.
AND.: Lenya, apparently, was trying to impress, because he was joking hard.
L.: My humor is within reason, and sometimes it goes beyond them. Who does not understand - offended. And Ira and I were on the same wavelength. In general, after the broadcast, we exchanged contacts, then met at some social events, somehow she invited me to my birthday ...
AND.: I want to note that at that time I was in a civil marriage, and Lenya had a girlfriend, so we communicated on a light wave, periodically called up, and that’s it. ( Looks at Leonidas.) Do you remember, you called me in Kyiv, on
"X-Factor"? I was roaming, but we talked for several hours.
L.: Thirty thousand have spoken.
Have you shared problems in your personal life with each other?
(They look at each other and laugh.)
AND.: Yes!
L.: Well, not only, we had topics and besides that. Irka, as it turned out, loves fishing very much, which is not typical for a girl. In this regard, we had the idea to try to do something together in a creative way. I used to have a not very pleasant experience of cooperation with other artists, and, doubting, I said to Ira: “Listen, let's not, because if something goes wrong, our friendship will end.” I have already lost a couple of friends. But we tried anyway. I sent her my track, for the fullness of which there were not enough melodies of the voice, and she said: “Oh, how great!”
AND.: It all dragged on for a year. We've been doing one song for a whole year! At first I wrote the words in English, then we realized that no one needed it...
L.: Then came the time for the New Wave. Igor Yakovlevich Krutoy called both of us there, Ira said that she needed a fresh song, and we decided to quickly complete the common work. And since there were more reasons to meet, our friendship somehow ... deepened. ( They laugh.)
That is, there is no need to talk about some long courtship?
AND.: Yes what there, you look at this man!
L.: Oh no! I am a rather romantic young man, as you can still see, but I think that relationships develop when everything happens by itself, like ours, and not like “water the tree of love, water it!”. Yes, it's all garbage, water it - don't water it.
AND.: And I always said that for me the main example of an ideal relationship was my parents. Unfortunately, my dad passed away three years ago - I don’t want to talk about it, otherwise I’ll start crying, and in general this is a separate issue. They lived with their mother for 35 years. And the key to their long union was a strong friendship. It's great when two people are comfortable with each other, when their communication does not depend on external factors - on other people, the environment, and so on. And if the relationship is kept only on the bed and nothing more unites people, then ...
L.: (Interrupts.) In fact, of course, relationships that are kept on the bed are very tempting. But what to do when the "bed" ends?

They argue about DJ Leonid Rudenko. Are there many DJs who could say that about themselves? Press releases call his success in the West the third breakthrough in Russian pop music after PPK and Tatu. And Leonid himself is gradually becoming a pop star in Russia itself.
Rudenko's success in the dance world is really impressive compared to other Russian DJs. The composition Leonid Rudenko - Summerfish was in the Top 30 Dance Air Play in the USA for several weeks and in the Top 100 downloads on iTunes and beatport.com (including the first place). His tracks are licensed in 15 countries by such giants as Sony BMG or Ministry Of Sound.
But the real breakthrough in both Russian and international charts was the release in February 2009 of the track Everybody, according to the same press releases. It was released in more than 30 countries around the world, hit the Top40 UK, the video for Everybody is played on many TV channels around the world. Leonid's tracks are played by all the most reputable DJs in the world: Tiesto, Judge Jules, Eric Morillo, Pete Tong, Paul van Dyk, etc.
Recognition in Russia also followed, if you can call it an invitation as a special guest to the Muz-TV Award - 2009. Which, however, gave the ambitious artist to write on his MySpace: “Having made a name for himself in Russia, Leonid Rudenko is now making plans to conquer the rest Europe".
So where did this elusive Rudenko make a name for himself? Does the artist darken? This is what Chaskora's music reviewer Guru Ken talks with the same Leonid Rudenko.
- This is true? Is your Everybody clip really played in many countries around the world?
Up to the time when we came to work and at the same time relax in Turkey, our video was also playing in the hotel ... I managed to become not only a local character. And these are not unfounded assertions, but facts. And when I communicate with our Western-oriented artists, for example with Sergey Lazarev, they understand what it is, we speak the same language.
The music I make is hard to play live. You can put session musicians, add instruments, but most of the music is made on computers. That's why I act as a DJ. Igor Krutoy plays the piano at his concerts, but it’s not easy for me to play my plan on the keys. This technology was not invented by me, it was long before me.
- What is the difference between Rudenko as a DJ and Rudenko as a composer?
All the music of Leonid Rudenko, which is heard on the radio and on TV, is entirely written by me.
A certain soviet club format has been formed in Moscow, which includes remixes of Russian songs interspersed with popular radio hits. Things are a little better in the regions. In Moscow, few people know about real club music. I'm not talking about club music as a niche product. And what about the music, to which people openly dance, and do not stand or sit with cocktails. It is necessary to dance to such music, it is not called dance music for nothing.
Dance music has little in common with radio music. Although there are successful experiments with radium fate, such as the Chemical Brothers. But in general, artists like David Guetta are very different - as DJs and as radio musicians. It is impossible to make a set list only from my own compositions, but it is my compositions that are the stoppers for which people come to my performances.
- Do you ever sing on your DJ sets?
In my songs, everything is invented by me, except that I do not sing and I have co-authors for the lyrics. I heard myself, my voice, and it seems to me that this is not my talent. I don't know if I'm a talented person, but singing is not my forte. People should do what they are good enough at.
Right after our meeting, I'm going to start recording a new song. Contrary to rumors, I don't write for multi-million dollar studios. Everything is recorded in Moscow.
- Do you invite session vocalists to your concerts?
No, vocalists participate in my concerts in exceptional cases, when there are big concerts like "Olympic" at the Muz-TV awards or open grandiose venues. Usually my tours are a two-hour DJ set.
- Does the laptop sing for the vocalists?
Have you been to clubs? Does anyone sing in clubs?
- Katya Chekhova sings.
Here which way to turn. Take the songs of David Guetta. It's always Guetta's duet with a guest star, like Willis. And now Guetta plays sets for 200 thousand people. He is alone on stage. If Chris Willis gave a concert, then Willis would sing, and Guetta's music would come from a laptop.
In my situation, the key figure that accumulates all the musical processes is me, Rudenko. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, I drive alone, like a DJ.
- That is, at your concerts, those songs that are heard on the radio are heard from a recorded disc?
I guess, yes.
- But what prevents you from bringing a guest vocalist with you and doing a full-fledged concert?
Firstly, this is the specificity of DJ tours, as is customary. Secondly, foreign singers sing with me, they simply won’t go on a tour of Russia with me. I have Americans, British, etc. singing. Economically, it is simply unprofitable to carry them all over Russia. I can't take a student at a music school for a hundred dollars, because I have an international status.
- What is the proportion of live sound and pre-recorded samples in your sets?
You're asking the question in such an unprofessional way because you're off topic. Everything that you hear in the songs is played by my hands. But that doesn't mean I play everything live. I have only two hands, and at the same time I play eight parts: guitar, bass, pad, drums ... You can’t play them with two hands. So my music is studio in nature.
- So you always perform under plywood? And at the Muz-TV awards, too, was the performance under plywood?
Why do you think so?
- You yourself talk about it.
Why do you think so? Listen carefully to the radio version and what was played at the awards. A cappella appeared in one place, the parts changed places.
- Did you play it live?
Look at the entry. I have equipment there, there are CD players… You should not expect such a live sound from this kind of performances, like a symphony orchestra. Do you understand?
- Okay, I can't wait. On what basis do you choose vocalists?
The way she sings. When I make songs, I have an idea of how they should sound. And I am engaged in the embodiment of what was playing in my head. If I want to have Britney Spears vocals in my song Everybody, then I'm looking for it. And found.
- Why don't other famous DJs write their own songs?
Few write their own songs. And this is the situation on a global scale. But on the other hand, most of the world-famous DJs write their own songs. Among those who gather hundreds of thousands of people for their performances, everyone writes their own songs.
No matter how you treat DJs with disdain, but show me other artists who can collect hundreds of thousands and millions for their concerts. Show the artists who can keep this audience excited for hours so that people clap, squeal, dance. Not many pop artists are capable of that.
DJs are also part of the culture. If their songs began to play on the radio, this indicates that they have become a full-fledged part of the global music industry.
- Musicians don't like DJs because they think they just play other people's records.
But such DJs will not gather hundreds of thousands of people. People will come only to those whose songs they know and want to listen to.
- Do you use songs as a catalyst for success?
I write songs because I love music. I love doing what I do. I don't write songs to be a star. I have been addicted to songs since childhood. When my parents gave me my first computer at the age of 10, I immediately began to learn from my friends how music is written on it. I absorbed the first wave of electronic music - The Prodigy, Scooter, Chemical Brothers...
- You didn’t listen to Russian pop music at all, did you?
Yes, she walked right past me. In fact, now many hits are the same electronic music as my Everybody. But if there is a person standing there with a microphone, then it is considered pop music. And if DJ Rudenko stands behind the turntables and plays his songs, then this is considered electronic music.
- Could you give up DJ sets and focus only on composing music?
I don't see the two as mutually exclusive. If 3.5 thousand people come to my sets and they like it, I myself get great pleasure. This is a much greater outburst of emotions than sitting at home and listening to your songs being played on the radio.
There are producers who compose music, and then send groups to perform with their music. I wouldn't be able to do that.
- How did a simple Russian guy manage to break through the wall that prevents Russian musicians from advancing in the West? Did you have a blat? Rich dad?
I didn't break through any walls. And he made no plans. It was the only possible continuation of a career. I originally thought of my career in this way. I liked Western music, because electronic music was invented there. I listened to foreign DJs and tried to do the same. Something worked, something didn't work. I knew where to go and where this music is received. Learning English really helped me a lot.
It just so happens that we have no prophets in our country. The big industry is there, abroad. And the only opportunity to express yourself is also there. Otherwise, you can ride around the cities and villages of our homeland for decades - and no one will know about you.
- How it all began? Have you sent your songs to labels?
Yes, I did. At first he sent CDs, then he began to write e-mails. And for many years they did not answer me! I was not upset and reasoned like this: since they didn’t answer, it means that I sent a low-quality track. So I have to do better.
- And when did the first result appear?
Around 2005, my instrumental hit the BBC 1 radio airwaves. It was played on the Saturday program nine times in a row, it was included in the first big compilation in the whole world. Then several successful local songs appeared. Then a few more songs got into different collections. Then came Destination...
- What pitfalls lie in wait for a musician in the West?
First, I signed one of those onerous contracts that are often offered to young musicians. The contract was for five years, but I soon got out of it. Then he signed a contract with a small Dutch company and also quickly broke up with her. Then another contract. And then I saw the light - situations with lawyers taught me a lot. Barely fought back sometimes.
And lately I've been quietly writing new songs. I have a standard contract with European labels for publication and distribution. I don't depend on anyone. I have a label in every country that distributes. For example, in Russia it is Ikra Music, in Spain it is Universal Music, etc.
- Are you satisfied with the results of your sales in the West?
Royalty money is quite long-term money, it takes a long time to collect it, at the end of the year. Reports will come next year, we'll see. It seems to be decent, but I can’t buy a private plane.
- When can we expect a big concert from you in a decent metropolitan hall?
I dream of taking a big hall, gathering authentic vocalists, ordering decorations, doing everything very beautifully, with ballet. Get it all on DVD. But all this is very laborious and expensive. Until I'm ready for it.
But everything is going the way it should be. Sometimes it's better not to rush things.
Because when something happens, you often think how good it was that it didn't happen a year ago, when I wasn't ready for it yet.
