After the demobilization in 2002 DJ Tape works along with many Belorussian performers as an arranger and remixer, promoter of hip-hop parties (series of rap-parties called "The Birth of Hip Hop") and a hip-hop producer. He produces music for a wide range of belorussian rappers & make his own tracks.

In 2003 DJ Tape helps rap-organization named Music Corporation in organization of Hip Hop festival "Elements of Rhyme-2003", the result of which became issue of 2 compilations of belorussian rap and a gala-concert of winners in the central park of Minsk.



In 2004, generalizing the produced material & new ideas, DJ Tape starts a search for musicians for a See Me Running project. He goes back to primary conception of music and begins the record of a new program with the help of his old friend – DJ Cubrelive.

DJ Cubrelive works with popular in Minsk singer Nils at that time & have his own project – Nectos. He becomes the second arranger in the SMR-project & its soundproducer. Also he writes some tracks & remixes for the project.



In 2005 Artjom “b_twisted” Atrashevsky, known also as “Trash” and “Anvil”, joins the band. He is the guitarist in the famous belorussian metal band “Divina Enema” at that time. He brings the power to the project & psychedelic solos.

The band releases the first promo-single “Dark Angel” and begins concert activity.

"They set fire, and we understood that it is necessary to talk about that with boys. Especially, their final thing (“Dark Angel”) without exaggeration, has put an audience on ears..." write Dr. Morozov and Ann PRIMAKA in the “Musical Newspaper”. "... The Main performance of evening was SMR-project… The group has lifted a hall on legs and forced to stand up to the end of performance... " comments the SMR-show Synth from the “Electrosphere” web-portal.



Today the band works in the big range of styles. Some critics name the See Me Running sound – Dark Electro, some – Big Beat & Rocktronika. Some persons even call it Gothic Break Beat. See Me Running has hard underground sound, powerful beats and psychodelic synthesizers, together with guitar reefs & solos.
