    Dreamlin

    Dreamlin is an electronic music project from Minsk, Belarus (active since 2000). The catalog spans early compilation-era releases and later digital releases.

    Why it matters

    • In the early 2000s, Dreamlin was the most requested electronic act in Belarus during a period when request-driven channels and music television still shaped what people heard.
    • The project shipped early CD-era releases distributed across former Soviet republics, reflecting a distribution footprint broader than a single-city scene.
    • On MP3.com, Dreamlin also picked up early worldwide listeners—an unusually global audience channel for an independent electronic project at that time.

    Scene & live milestones

    • Summer 2001: Dreamlin reached #1 artist on Ampcast.com during early online distribution — one of the first measurable “chart” wins for the project.
    • 2006: first invitation to play outside the ex-USSR, and a listing at the Borovaya aero-club open-air near Minsk — historically one of Belarus's largest outdoor music events.
    • 2007: announced again for Borovaya; the open-air was cancelled and moved to a club, so only part of the original lineup could play.
    • Collaborators on recordings and live lineups span from Finland to Hawaii — not limited to the Minsk core trio of Egor, Denis Korabkov, and Andrey Karpovich.

    Stars Alliance & adjacent projects

    Denis Korabkov's Stars Alliance project ran parallel to Dreamlin in the mid-2000s. Egor contributed lyrics for Stars Alliance tracks while Denis focused on studio work — the first vocal-ready Dreamlin album instrumentals also looked for external vocalists, with Anna Lazarevich (formerly in Dreamlin) appearing on an early Stars Alliance track.

    Denis also released under Cubalibre and Red Groove; Andrey Karpovich led rock projects including Parason (Basovišča festival winner, 2006).

    Music video · AI-assisted writing (2002)

    This dates to 2002, when the underlying track was written with help from artificial intelligence. The approach predates mainstream generative tooling that later became common in music production workflows.

    The clip went into heavy rotation on Belarusian music-TV channels at the time. This was during a period when terrestrial music television still mattered for reaching audiences in Belarus.
