NGC-5128 (Kosmo Mill Bird) aka Kristaps Lagzdins (born in Cesis, Latvia 1980) is one of the spiritual and creative leaders of modern times Latvian techno scene. Thanks to his artistic parents (his father was a DJ), NGC had musically inspiring childhood, filled with active party atmosphere, all of which contributed to his choices and interests in life, in this case, quality music (re)making, sound processing and DJing. In most aspects of his life, NGC-5128 is trying to follow the calls of his explorer’s heart. In music he notices original and extra-ordinary expressions of artistic souls, even his passion for electronic music was determined not only by its so resonating sound and feel, but also by the fact, that it clearly stood out of Latvian mostly rock and schlager oriented music environment. In his early days of creative life 5128 is obsessed by house, trance and hardcore rhythms, later on he is completely blown away by jungle vibes. Nevertheless, crucial year 1997 comes, when he and his mates attend one of the very popular raves of those days at VEF Culture Palace, the atmosphere of which – solid grooves of quality Detroit and british techno, fills him with such an inspiration, that it changes his creative life completely. Right after this emotional experience comes his personal time of musical romance and most creative inspiration – first own tracks, first bought vinyl records and first sets of tasteful techno mixes. First tracks are made along with his friend Kombinat
