Tesla Boy is charismatic frontman and producer Anton Sevidov, who from an early age learnt to speak the international language of music through his father’s old vinyl collection that included Ray Charles, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Blondie. From here, a clear affinity with ‘80s pop and soul from the US and Britain emerged, and has since played a strong role in crafting the Tesla Boy identity. From their beginnings with the release of debut single 'Electric Lady' and first LP 'Modern Thrills' in 2010, the sounds of Tesla Boy’s global influences are immediate, with their acclaimed follow-up single Split, produced to a high level with deep catchy melodies and disco undertones.
Band members Leo Zatagin (bass), Mike Studnitsyn (drums) and Stan Astakhov (guitar) complete the Tesla Boy lineup, coming together to round out the trio in 2010. A collaborative project at its core, all music and lyrics, stylistic decisions, concepts, and the direction of music and production, are made collectively. At the forefront, Sevidov remains the heart of the band, with his penchant for charming songwriting, complimented by the band's incredible musicality and tantalizing live shows that have created a cult following in cities across the world.
Following the standout success of their sparkling debut, 2012 saw the band return to the studio to work on their highly anticipated second album, 'The Universe Made of Darkness,' due to drop May 21, 2013. March saw the band share the first single, '1991,' an infectiously optimistic groove that is an exciting teaser to the finished LP that takes their previous albums' 80’s inspired synth sounds to even further heights. Second single 'M.C.H.T.E.' is a bouncy and percussion heavy track with rhythmic, funky bass lines and synths that flicker across the surface. 'Broken Doll' sees the band team up with London crooner Tyson to create a dark, full-bodied and sensual track. As the chorus of the track would suggest, 'Broken Doll' is an invitation to the dance floor, with Tyson's vocals positively electrifying as he asks, "Do you want to dance?"
As only a preview to what is to come, it is obvious Tesla Boy are not to be mistaken with passing club trends that have come out of Russia in previous years. Tesla Boy carry a shiny pop sensibility, combined with sleek and sophisticated production that takes their nostalgic synth sound and punching soul hooks into the new wave era of EDM with global appeal.

Dream Machine
Tesla Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you filmed last time in your dream?
It will come in town again
Are we here?
Like a slave of moonlight miles
Can't pretend he needs morning sun
When another day is gone
We'll come out
Breaking the night sky
With music of my mind
I need a runway
Cause tender is the night
Breaking the night sky
I don't wanna feel the ground
And if you call me
My dream machine will fly
Have you seen these diamond ships?
They are touching night city's roofs
Are your pockets full of snow?
Will we moor?
Do you think these wings are mine?
Do you want to know how it feels?
Will we only watch and wait?
Oh, no, please!
The lyrics in Tesla Boy's Dream Machine talk about being transported to a different realm through the power of one's dreams. The first few lines are an invitation to the listener to explore a recurring dream that they have had, which involves a storm. The singer then reveals that the storm is about to come again, and that the listener should be prepared to experience it once again. The second verse of the song is about experiencing life fully, without any restrictions, such as the limitations placed upon us by the morning sun. Instead, the singer encourages the listener to embrace the darkness, and let their imagination take flight, breaking through the night sky with music of their mind. The chorus is an affirmation of the dreamer's desire to break away from the mundane and soar high with their dream machine.
The third verse in the song talks about the singer's encounter with diamond ships, which touch the city's roofs at night, signaling the arrival of the dream. The dreamer's pockets are filled with snow and they are ready to moor, which suggests they are ready to embrace the dream machine once again. The singer then asks the listener if they are curious to know what it feels like to have wings and experience the dream machine themselves. The song ends with the singer's exclamation of "Oh no, please!", which indicates their desire to stay in the dream realm and avoid returning to the mundane world once again.

Have you heard about the storm
Do you have any knowledge of an upcoming storm?
That you filmed last time in your dream?
Did you see this storm in a dream of yours?
It will come in town again
The upcoming storm will occur in the town once more.
Are we here?
Are we present and accounted for?
Like a slave of moonlight miles
In a state of surrender to long distances and the illuminating moonlight.
Can't pretend he needs morning sun
Unable to feign a need for the morning sun.
When another day is gone
At the end of another day.
We'll come out
We will emerge.
Breaking the night sky
Disrupting the dark skies.
With music of my mind
With music originating from my thoughts.
I need a runway
I need a runway to take off.
Cause tender is the night
The night is soft and delicate.
I don't wanna feel the ground
I don't want to be grounded.
And if you call me
If you request me.
My dream machine will fly
I will take flight on my imaginative machine.
Have you seen these diamond ships?
Have you been witness to these sparkling vessels?
They are touching night city's roofs
They are making contact with the roofs of the nocturnal urban landscape.
Are your pockets full of snow?
Do you have an ample supply of snow in your pockets?
Will we moor?
Will we anchor our craft?
Do you think these wings are mine?
Do you believe these wings to be my possession?
Do you want to know how it feels?
Are you curious about the sensations?
Will we only watch and wait?
Will we simply wait and observe?
Oh, no, please!
No, please let's do more than wait and watch.
