At the end of January, 41-year-old Soho Rooms founder Sergei Tkachenko died as a result of a fall from the window of a multi-story building. The media wrote a lot about this tragic incident, but all the information was related only to the circumstances of the man’s death. His friends told the site what kind of person Jeff really was, what contribution he made to the development of the club industry, music and the promotion of emerging talent.
On Sunday, January 29, the famous producer, musician and promoter Sergei Tkachenko, known in show business as Sergei Jeff, died under tragic circumstances.
Sergey was born and raised in Moscow. He began to work early to help his mother, who raised him alone, and he himself achieved everything in life. His youthful passion for breakdancing and modern choreography eventually grew into a career.
Starting as a backup dancer for Bogdan Titomir, with his dance colleague Irakli Pirtskhalava, he became part of the MF3 team, after which the pop group Tet-a-tete was created.
At the same time, his career as a DJ and music producer began to develop rapidly. He also had his own place of power - a recording studio on Old Arbat, with which many artists worked: Murat Nasyrov, Legalize, Dima Bilan, Irina Saltykova, Dino MC and others. In the music industry, Sergei was known as a person immersed in culture and knowledgeable about modern trends.
He never refused to help with advice; his taste was taken into account and he was listened to. He created remixes of popular hits, thereby giving them a second life.
A huge place in the creative life of Sergei Tkachenko has always been occupied by the support of talents: fellow DJs and musicians, he invited them to work at the best events, arranged them as residents in clubs and put their compositions in his sets.
The next stage in his creative activity was working as a club promoter. Having united a team of like-minded people around themselves, Sergey and his colleagues made a noticeable presence in the club environment under the DLux Promo Group brand. Alexey Kulagin, Artem Zvezdinsky and Vyacheslav Martynenko, together with Sergey, promoted the fashion for R"n"B and Hip Hop in Russia.
From weekly parties in the clubs Garage, Shambhala, Stone, R"n"B cafe, the cult project Infinity grew, which remained at the top of Russian club culture for many years.
After that, a series of bright years began at the Opera club and, finally, Sergei and his team took a strong place in the successful Soho Rooms project, which opened in 2008.
At the same time, they began a new direction of their activity - traveling around the world under the auspices of DLux Travel: traveling with DJs, musicians and parties that rocked the entire club community.
In all his projects, Sergei tried to give the public the highest quality and was attentive to every detail: from music to the level of events or choice of hotels. He took on his work thoughtfully and put his whole soul into it. For him, this was never a business in its pure form; if Sergei Jeff participated in something, then his involvement always meant a certain sign of the quality of the final product.
The new project in which he took part together with Alexey Goroby and Mikhail Danilov was the MIR entertainment complex - he gave all of himself to this business. His friends and those around him noticed: the project inspired Sergei very much, he grew professionally, made big plans and received many offers from investors and colleagues.
Sergei's business partners were industry leaders: Alexander Tolmatsky, Dmitry Braude, Mikhail Danilov.
Since childhood, Sergei was fascinated by sports, he practiced wrestling, and football occupied a large place in his life: he was both a fan and a player. These disciplines strengthened his character, ability to withstand heavy physical activity and respect for his opponents.
Despite the specifics of the business, Sergei had no enemies. He was respected and was friends with promoters and owners of competitive projects. People came to him for professional advice, as a person with many years of experience and strong principles.
Sergei was a deeply religious person and visited holy places all over the world, he tried to introduce people from his circle to the faith and a righteous lifestyle, and he succeeded. Sergei took special care of his godson. So, with a kind word and a friendly hand, he often helped people. Despite the fact that Sergei is no longer there, he will forever remain in the hearts of many people.
Sergei Tkachenko was one of the co-founders of the Soho Rooms nightclub, which is still considered one of the most successful entertainment projects. Many knew the man not only as the owner of the establishment, but also as a DJ. In the last few years, he has organized his own events, where he performed under the pseudonym Sergei Jeff. None of the businessman’s acquaintances could have imagined that a successful man who made plans for the future would end his life like this.
A man fell out of an apartment window on the 16th floor. Rescue services rushed to Shmitovsky Proezd, where the tragedy occurred. The DJ’s death did not occur immediately; for some time he still showed signs of life and tried to fight. However, he quickly died from his injuries. Passers-by saw Sergei standing on the parapet, someone even asked him to come to his senses and step back, but the misfortune could not be avoided. Many of Tkachenko’s friends are sure that he did not intend to deliberately throw himself from the window of a high-rise building. Sergei’s girlfriend believes that he had no reason to do so, because for a long time he could not find his soulmate. When the man finally found a life partner, it seemed to everyone that there was simply no reason for suicide.
“He was looking for love so much. I was alone for a long time, and then I found her and went out the window. This is not about him at all, this is not his style. For him to stand on the parapet himself is nonsense. He just started living, opened a new project. I helped him make a presentation for investors,” the friend of the deceased told StarHit.
By the way, Sergei Tkachenko stopped being involved in the affairs of the famous nightclub four years ago. After that, he spent more time at the DJ console and made plans for the future. Literally just before the New Year, the man managed to open his own entertainment project “Mir” on Tsvetnoy Boulevard in the very center of Moscow. An acquaintance of the businessman also believes that after he met his lover, he began to feel much better. The girl put forward the opinion that a disagreement might have arisen between them, which led to a sharp quarrel. However, the friend is still not sure that this can pass for the truth.
It must be said that recently joint photographs with his chosen one have appeared on Tkachenko’s page on social networks quite often. Just three weeks ago, the chosen ones vacationed at the popular Russian resort of Rosa Khutor. They shared bright pictures with subscribers and did not hide their feelings. Followers left enthusiastic comments under the pictures.
Maria Radul, the girlfriend of the deceased Tkachenko, did not ignore the incident on her Instagram page. She did not post any photos together, but only presented subscribers with one single entry, which could not but affect their reaction. They began to express their condolences and try to find out the details of the tragedy.
“Mashenka, hold on! My condolences, if you need any help, please hang in there,” “I was speechless when I found out. I still can't believe it. Condolences, Mash. If you need any help, call”, “Time heals, but this is the time... You need to hold on, do not hesitate to ask for moral help from friends, family and loved ones, you will really need it now,” Maria’s friends left comments.
Among Radul’s acquaintances there were those who advised her to limit access to the page on the Internet, since among users there was a version that it was Tkachenko’s girlfriend who brought him to a nervous breakdown and forced him to commit suicide. Some sources report that a conflict arose between the chosen ones the day before, which they were unable to resolve, and the quarrel continued the next morning. Many Internet users refuse to believe in this version, because even if it were so, the man, according to friends, would never have thrown himself from a 40-meter height.
Popular singer and dancer Sasha Project was one of the first to react to what happened and hastened to inform her audience about it on the Internet. “I knew him from the age of 16, a man with a huge soul! Never refused anything! He was very funny and serious at the same time! Despite everything! We will all miss you! May you rest in peace,” the artist wrote on Instagram.
Friends and relatives of Sergei Tkachenko still cannot come to terms with what happened. Many are tormented by the fact that they still do not know the true reasons for the death of their friend and colleague. Most Internet users have already posted farewell texts on their microblogs. Everyone is puzzled by the unexpectedness of the tragedy. Some people write that Tkachenko was very lucky when he met a new love. After all, she surrounded him with care and warmth, which, according to his friends, he really lacked lately.
The Moscow Investigative Committee continues to interrogate random witnesses to the incident. The pre-investigation check will be carried out over the next few days. It is not yet known where the body of the 41-year-old man was taken.
