PPK ( Russian ППК ) was a Russian trance project from Rostov-on-Don , consisting of Sergei Pimenow and Alexander Polyakow . The name PPK is an acronym from the names of the founding members. K stands for the short-term member Roman Korschow , also known as DJ Kordj.
Career
The music duo made their debut on February 21, 1998 with a live performance at a local festival, followed by another live performance at the 1998 KaZantip Festival in Ukraine . In December of the same year, their debut album Feel Insomnia was released . In 2000 the duo released the song I Have a Dream , which contains samples from Martin Luther King's historical speech.
The duo achieved international fame with the single ResuRection , which was available as a free download on MP3.com for about a year . The song was extremely popular and eventually earned the duo a record deal with Paul Oakenfold's music label Perfecto . The melody of the song is based on the melody of the Soviet film Sibiriade by Eduard Nikolajewitsch Artemjew from 1979. Some remixes also contain voice samples of the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alexejewitsch Gagarin . ResuRection was represented in the British single charts for 15 weeks and reached number 3 there in December 2001.
The music project broke up in 2004, but Pimenow released a remix of the single Ljudi Inwalidy by the group tATu in 2005 under the name PPK.
In summer 2010 a comeback of the group was announced, this time again with the original line-up including Korschow.
