Receptor is the stage name of Dmitriy Veshunov (also known as Mitya). He works as a producer and DJ in drum and bass, drumstep and liquid funk. He is based in Moscow, Russia.

Veshunov began producing in the early 2000s and first gained attention with the track "Rhyno" on the Breed 12 Inches series. Since then he has released music on Beta Recordings, Obsessions, Mainframe and Forbidden Society. He has also produced official remixes for Noisia and Black Sun Empire. Outside the record-side work, he has done TV, commercial and video scoring alongside his drum and bass output.

Originally from Volgodonsk, Receptor later relocated to Moscow. He has been involved with the Evolution Chamber imprint. He continues to release and perform, primarily within Russia, and travels to European dates by train because he avoids flying.

Publicly available biographical detail is limited, but Receptor’s recorded output shows a range between liquid-leaning arrangements and heavier halftime/drumstep textures. On the liquid side he uses sustained pads, chord work and cleaner melodic elements; on the drumstep/drum & bass side his work emphasises tight, edited breaks and focused low-end. His background in TV and commercial scoring is audible in his arrangements: tracks tend to have clear sections and attention to atmospherics and pacing rather than raw lo-fi sketches.

In production terms Receptor’s releases demonstrate standard DnB techniques applied with a scored sensibility: precise break editing, layered low‑end, and automation of atmospherics and filters to move sections. His remixes for Noisia and Black Sun Empire place him in contact with techier sound design; on those projects he applies denser processing and heavier bass treatments consistent with the labels and acts he’s worked with.

Career highlights to date include the early impact of "Rhyno" on Breed 12 Inches, releases across Beta Recordings, Obsessions, Mainframe and Forbidden Society, official remixes for Noisia and Black Sun Empire, and participation in the Evolution Chamber imprint. He performs as both a DJ and producer, and balances his club work with commissioned scoring for TV and video.

Where public record is sparse on granular studio methods, the verifiable facts are clear: Dmitriy Veshunov (Receptor / Mitya) is a Moscow-based producer/DJ whose early-2000s start led to releases on notable DnB labels, remixes for major acts, involvement with Evolution Chamber, and a parallel career in TV and commercial scoring—while choosing rail travel for European gigs rather than flying.
