Dosaaf is a DJ alias of a queer artist and activist Gleb Kovalski who was born and raised in Belarus. Affection for noise and experimental genres alongside his passion for techno raves once led Dosaaf to his first performances at underground parties in abandoned military bunkers and vast Belarusian forests. In order to give a platform for the self-realization of queer people, and to support aspiring female and non-binary DJs, Dosaaf launched queer techno party series ПЕТУШНЯ in Minsk in 2019. The concept was built on creating a melting pot where the most emancipated club kids meet with peerless queer artists, musicians and activists from different fields. Dosaaf’s unique charisma and authentic music style brought him to all the main spots and parties in Minsk and very fast made him one of the most prominent DJs in the Belarusian electronic club scene. In 2020 he was recognized as the best emerging artist by the independent people voting at the Open Belarusian Electronic Music Awards. The same year Dossaf had to leave Belarus due to political persecution. He moved to Kyiv where tried to continue their artistic and musical work performing at such events as Drift, VESELKA, Vorozjba but after the start of the full-scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine he had to flee once again. Now Dosaaf is based in Berlin and working on a number of club and art projects mostly related to queer migrants and queer temporalities of the future. Driven by emotions and instincts, Dosaaf sticks to dark, melancholic sound and covers the dance floor with a dense vibe where subtle hypnotic techno being refracted in broken, distorted textures becomes a mighty hurricane of cutting arpeggiated chords vibrating and pulsating to the beat of psychedelic hard trance and, at times, uncompromising hard-core.
