PPK: Russian Trance Duo

PPK (Russian: ППК) was a notable Russian trance duo that was based primarily in Rostov-on-Don. The group consisted of Sergei Pimenov and Alexander Polyakov. PPK name is the acronym of founding members' initials, K was for short-time member DJ Kordj (Roman Korzhov).

PPK became popular abroad due to their single "ResuRection", which was available to download for free on mp3.com for about a year. A few million people downloaded it and a such wave of popularity brought to signing a contract with Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto label and was used to celebrate the New Year 2003 in Warsaw, Poland (seen on Sky News Active, 2002-12-31). This song was the first major international hit by a Russian artist in the post Soviet era.

"ResuRection" was based around the melody of the 1979 Russian (Soviet) film Siberiade by Eduard Artemyev and contained, in some remix versions, vocal samples of Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. "Reload" was based around the melody "Zodiak" from an album "Disco Alliance" by Latvian electronic rock band Zodiaks.

The group broke up in 2004, however, in 2005 Pimenov did remixes for the group t.A.T.u.'s single "Lyudi Invalidy" under the name PPK. In 2009 DJ Polyakov released a single played on A State Of Trance called My Heart, featuring Kate Cameron on vocals.
