Diskoteka Avariya

Diskoteka "Avariya" (Russian: Дискотека "Авария" - Disco "Accident") are a Russian band from Ivanovo, Russia. The duo consists of Aleksey Borisovich Serov (Алексей Борисович Серов) and Aleksey Olegovich Ryzhov (Алексей Олегович Рыжов). Its former members include vocalist Anna Khokhlova (Анна Хохлова), who left in September 2020, vocalist Nikolay Stagoranovich Timofeev (Николай Стагоранович Тимофеев), who left in July 2012, and rapper Oleg Yevgenyevich Zhukov (Олег Евгеньевич Жуков), who died on February 9, 2002, of cancer.

Although "Avariya" knew only moderate success in Russia during the 1990s, they are considered to be pioneers of house music in that country. Following Zhukov's death in 2002, the trio slowly lost original popularity and oriented themselves into a mainstream electropop movement.
