Davip (Ilgiz Shamsiev) is recognized as the most successful and productive breaks/drum & bass producers from the Former Soviet Union. At his 22, Davip has 14 vinyl releases on the best electronic music labels behind his back, as well as over 30 digital labels and CD compilations.

2010 was a real breakthrough year for Ilgiz, when his twelve inch, Ignition/Level Up came out on the cult Hardcore Beats UK label (with Ignition remix by a dubstep act Bare Noize on the filpside). The same year tracks called Vamonos/High Technology (featuring Encode) saw the light through the famous drum & bass imprint Breed 12 Inches (sublabel of Lifted Music). Both records took Beatport, Chemical Records, Juno and many other charts by storm.

In 2011 Hardcore Beats released a new Davip masterpiece entitled Brick EP, which repeated the Ignition/Level Up success. A UK magazine Mixmag gave the release 5/5, making Brick the track of the month.

In January 2012 two massive releases followed: a drum & bass one called Vertigo/Massacre on Mainframe Recordings and a breaks record Crash!/Sistema on Hardcore Beats UK.

Besides producing breakbeat and drum & bass on his own, Davip is also a part of a French-Russian dubstep trio PLAYMA, which he co-created alongside Mars (from Kaliningrad, Russia) and Ben William (from France) in the Summer of 2011. The band is signed to Audioporn Records (UK) and gets prepared for an extensive live tour across Europe.

Davip is a resident of the labels: Hardcore Beats, Wicky Lindows, Mainframe.

In the past had released remixes and original tracks for Sub Slayers (UK), Rocstar (UK), Sony Music (UK), AYRA (Hu), XSSR (Ru), Subtribe (Ru), Cut & Run, Malpractice, IBWT (Ru), Recorta Y Pega (ES), Fall Out, Ammunition (USA), Don’t Panic (UA), Big Riddim (USA), Downbeat (USA) and others.
