Famous DJ Sergei Tkachenko, founder of the Soho Rooms club, died after a quarrel with a girl, falling from the ledge on the 20th floor.

One of the founders of the Soho Rooms club, famous DJ Sergei Tkachenko, fell to his death from the 20th floor.

As it became known, the cause of death was a quarrel with a girl. Tkachenko, in a fit of anger, decided to scare his girlfriend and climbed onto the eaves of the house, but fell and died.

Law enforcement officers told reporters about this.

As it turned out, Tkachenko hung, holding onto the window sill, for about ten minutes - then he asked to come back. Apparently, the girl was unable to drag his apartment on her own and began to call for help, but did not have time: the DJ fell down and collapsed on the canopy of the entrance.

Residents of houses on Shmitovsky Proezd witnessed Tkachenko’s fall.

Witnesses to the incident, seeing the DJ hanging on the ledge, called rescuers and doctors.

However, they arrived late. Doctors were only able to ascertain death from injuries incompatible with life.

is a famous Russian DJ, music producer and author of a number of successful projects. The musician was one of the founders of the elite club Soho Rooms in Moscow and went by the pseudonym Sergey Jeff. The establishment had five founders; Tkachenko left the leadership of the club four years ago.

On Sunday afternoon, January 29, the famous Russian DJ and one of the founders of the Moscow nightclub Soho Rooms Sergei Jeff Tkachenko died in Moscow as a result of a fall from a cornice located at the level of the 20th floor

The Investigative Committee has begun an investigation into the death of Sergei Tkachenko, who fell from a window on the 20th floor of a residential building in the center of Moscow. The deceased was a famous Russian DJ and former co-owner and creator of the Moscow nightclub Soho Rooms.

It was established that on the afternoon of January 29, the body of a 41-year-old man with injuries characteristic of a fall from a great height was found on the canopy of one of the residential buildings on Shmitovsky Proezd, representatives of the Investigative Committee report.

DJ Alex Kafer spoke of Sergei Tkachenko as a bright and purposeful person who could not commit suicide.

We met and worked together so much - I can’t wrap my head around how this could happen. He could be thoughtful in terms of work, he thought a lot, he approached all issues on a grand scale,” recalls Alexey. “Nothing was unimportant to him.” And fall out of the window... Honestly, I don’t believe that such a person could do this consciously on his own, because he was so purposeful. I turned to him for advice as a promoter, an artist, he is such a teacher, you could always ask him something or clarify something. Today I will definitely go to our mutual friends and find out what the mood has been there lately. What kind of quarrels can there be with your wife? They have such an idyll.

Alexey met Sergei three years ago, then they decided to create a remix of Sergei’s most memorable song - “Dreams”.

He wrote it a long time ago, and it sank into the souls of many people. Sergei was a bright and bright person who constantly gave people light and positivity. And he called the song “Dreams” his brainchild: in it he spoke and sang how to climb up, to the sun, to his dreams.

This morning, all representatives of the Moscow club scene received shocking news: the owner of the Soho Rooms club, Sergei Tkachenko, better known under the pseudonym S. Jeff, died. A man fell from the 17th floor. According to witnesses, Tkachenko had a fight with a woman with whom he lived in the same apartment and stormed downstairs. The terrible death of an ex-member of the “Tete-a-Tete” group did not leave many celebrities - people from the first Moscow “star” companies - indifferent.

Singer Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, who became popular thanks to the acclaimed TV series “Club,” told Life how Tkachenko became the founder of the capital’s club life.

“We are all in shock and don’t understand how this could happen,” Anastasia shared with Life. - I’ve known Seryozha for a very long time, since the time of the series. We spent time together on the set, one might say, we didn’t leave the club. Then it was still Infinity, and then Soho Rooms appeared. He was the founder of this whole party, a very respected man. We spent a lot of time with him, all those days on the set, we lived like a big family, Me, Seryozha, Alexander Tolmatsky. Unfortunately, we haven’t communicated much lately, mostly just congratulating each other on the holidays. Honestly, what happened was a shock to me, Sergei was never seen in any controversial things, he was always calm and friendly.

Russian producer and father of rapper Decl Alexander Tolmatsky, in turn, told Life that at a certain period of his life Tkachenko abused alcohol, but before his death he decided to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I haven’t seen him for a long time, but he was always normal and reserved. Many people knew him, everyone treated him with respect. I recently heard about this tragedy on the radio and am now very depressed. He recently had a new girlfriend, they say it happened because of a quarrel with her. But this is all strange, because he hasn't been drinking lately. Once he had a period, he drank, but then he quit and opened a business. There is no reason to jump out of a window.

In a conversation with Life, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov, a member of the Ivanushki International group, recalled that he knew Tkachenko even before he became the founder of many Moscow clubs. As it turned out, the artist remembers Sergei as part of the group “Tete-a-tete” together with Irakli Pirtskhalava. By the way, in 1997 the team performed at the “Christmas Meetings of Alla Pugacheva.”

I have known Seryozha for almost 20 years, since the days of the Tet-a-tete group. The incident that happened, of course, is simply outrageous. He was a very reserved, intelligent and kind person; he could not have done this on his own. I think this is still an accident.

Singer Yulianna Karaulova spoke about her club life and meeting Tkachenko. The artist, like her colleagues, said that Sergei had recently led a healthy lifestyle.

In fact, the whole party revolved around him, but he himself did not participate in it. He was present at the club, but never drank. I have known Sergei for a long time, so I am also in shock. A very strange situation, because everyone who knows him would never have thought that this could happen.
