With brash sounds and lyrics that called into question the world around them, there were early signs of the fingerprints that would later come to define IC3PEAK. \u201cWe were circumventing different toys and instruments, and playing noise \u2013 having fun,\u201d she remembers. \u201cIt had social commentary, and was a feminist group, so it was a little bit less about the music, where you listen to it and think: \u2018Wow, it\u2019s beautiful.\u2019 It was more of a statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such interrogation of surroundings\u00a0via music always came naturally to Nastya, who as a young woman in the \u201900s saw plenty to speak out about, and with the nascent days of the world wide web that\u00a0stretched freely beyond borders, she had developed a language to articulate herself. \u201cEven though Moscow is one of the most comfortable cities in Russia, it was weird,\u201d she explains. \u201cEspecially as a girl sometimes, it was dangerous, and you were used to feeling small and powerless as a child and a teenager \u2013 the world seemed cruel, cold and uncaring. The internet shaped my attitude a lot, what I would read and watch, and I think I saw myself not as a Russian citizen, but a citizen of the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the late \u201900s, the pair attended <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huckmag.com\/article\/photos-capturing-the-rise-of-south-londons-dubstep-scene\">dubstep<\/a><br \/>\nparties together, where both Nick and Nastya had their first electronic music epiphanies. Small capacity venues, deep, meditative wobs of sub bass, and a tight-knit underground community. At Nick\u2019s first ever dubstep party, its promoters had flown over genre innovator and legendary label and party DMZ\u2019s co-founder Coki, as well as <em>BBC Radio 1 <\/em>DJ and early dubstep platformer Mary Anne Hobbs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDubstep was what actually started my intense focus on music,\u201d Nick says. \u201cIt was pre-brostep and the energy was fucking insane \u2013 they played the Mr Vot remix of Major Lazer\u2019s \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nQBCPcvBX5k\">Pon De Floor<\/a>\u2019 and it was crazy.
