“Gas tank. Club and tearoom. This is what the golden letters say on the official website page. But everyone knows that tea in the "Gazgolder" is not the most sought-after product.
Gazgolder. Club & tea room
In 2005, on the site of the old factory "Arma", the club "Gazgolder" was opened, which immediately won the love of advanced Muscovites. The most fashionable DJs played their techno sets here, modern Russian and foreign artists performed. Vasya Vakulenko and Oleg Gruz owe their popularity to this institution.
In 2007, Andrey Zuckerberg opened his own tea shop at the Gazgolder club. A Chinese restaurant has been operating since 2009.
In 2015, the club "Gazgolder" moved to another place. In the new pavilion of the same plant, the institution resumed its work. Paintings, furniture, a bar counter and an entire tea room were moved from the previous location. The advantage of the new place was spacious halls with arches, high ceilings and a summer veranda.
On the very first day of work, reviews about the Gazgolder club blew up forums and social networks. The guests noted the excellent sound, excellent cuisine and authenticdecor.
If you decide to have dinner in a restaurant, you can find yourself at a rehearsal or filming a video. The creative association "Gazgolder" operates in the same building.
Gazgolder Creative Association
Gazgolder has its own record label, production center, art bureau and clothing store. The real stars of Russian rap collaborate with him: Basta, N1NT3ND0, Guf, Slovetsky, Smoky Mo, Tati, Triagrutrika, Oleg Gruz and others. The founders of the association in 2005 were Ruslan Tarkinsky and Bogdan Titomir. In 2007, Vasya Vakulenko became a co-owner of the label, who remains the label to this day.
"Gas tank" in the movies
In 2014, the film "Gasholder" was released, in which everyone who is related to the label took part. According to the plot, Vasya and his friends are in big trouble. For the time being, they live for their own pleasure, without thinking about the consequences, until they enter into a serious conflict with a serious law enforcement agency. The heroes realize that they are in deep trouble and throw all their physical and creative powers to find a way out. All this is accompanied by poetic sketches and compositions by Russian rappers. The main roles in the film were played by: Basta, Oleg Gruz, Ekaterina Bestuzheva, Guf, Aiza Anokhina, Tati, Vitya and Maxim from Ak 47, Smokey Mo, the Triagrutrika group, Slovetsky, Elena Ze and others. The movie came out ambiguous: it has a clear philosophical overtones, mainly expressed in the monologues of Basta and Oleg Gruz.
Today "Gazgolder" did not give up positions. In 2017, T-Fest and Sasha Chest joined him.
