Although "Avaria" knew only moderate success in Russia during the 1990s, they are considered to be pioneers of house music in that country. Following Zhukov's death in 2002, the trio slowly lost original popularity and oriented themselves into a mainstream [[electropop]] movement.

=== The origins ===
Towards the end of the
Meanwhile, the band was asked to perform in a local club called "Электрон" ("Electron"). Noticing the bad state of their club, they dubbed it "Disaster Disco". After a few fixing, the rating of their club went uphill as it became more and more famous.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Честная |first=Мария |date=2022-08-20 |title=
===From two to four===
A childhood acquaintance of Timofeev and Ryzhov, Oleg Zhukov, was amongst the biggest and most loyal fans of "Disco 'Crash'", and soon joined the duo's closest circle of friends. One night, they took him with them to a soirée organized by a company called "Kranek", and all Zhukov did was repeating the company's name during one song. As Timofeev recalls: "And during one of our song, Zhukov repeated the company's name, Kranek, with such a voice, that the audience and us fell for his charm, and since then, he joined us for good". This happened in 1991. Around that time, the band was invited to Moscow for a trial studio record, resulting in their first album "Танцуй со мной" (Tantsuy so mnoy", Dance with me), but it wasn't what the band expected. Some of its songs were later reused in their first official album.<ref>{{Cite web |title=
Towards 1997, the trio noticed their club was losing their popularity. They found out that a rival disco opened in town, and people there were charged half as much. They discovered that disco had only one MC, young and motivated, close in style to Timofeev. They decided that it was the best to join forces with him. That's how Alexey Serov joined the band. His first contribution to the band was recording a skit where he asked to turn the music off using many expletives (used later in the song "Заколебал Ты!" but with expletives covered by radio parasite sounds), and his second contribution was recording vocals for the second and final version of the song "Двигай-двигай" ("Dvigay-dvigay", Move it-move it).<ref>{{Cite web |title=

In 1998, while Russia was in crisis, the band decided to record their second album (considered by many to be their first). They lacked the cash to pay for studio time, so they made a deal with the studio "Soyuz". At that time, the studio was working on a remix album for the Belarusian band [[Lyapis Trubetskoy]] called "Lyapis-Dance", and Diskoteka "Avariya" was asked to make four remixes for the album. They made three pure remixes, while the last one became a comic rap song using Lyapis Trubetskoy's chorus. The song, called "Ты кинула" ("Ty kinula", You dumped) became their first single and later, their first music video. The band then had enough money to record their first official album "Песня про тебя и меня" ("Pesnya pro tebya i menya", Song about you and me). Their single stint with a producer, Peter Volkov, was short-lived.
The song “New Year’s” brought national love to the group, which did not cause much excitement in the winter of 1999, but became very popular in the summer of 2000.<ref>[https://www.kp.ru/afisha/msk/obzory/muzyka/pesnya-novogodnyaya-diskoteki-avarii/ Песня «Новогодняя» (1999) группы «Дискотека Авария»: почему забраковали новый клип на легендарный хит].

After Zhukov's death and a period of pause, the band decided to go on as a trio. They released their first music videos without Zhukov: "ХХХиРНР" (acronym for "Hip-Hop, House and Rock'N'Roll") and "Небо" ("Nebo", Sky), the latter featuring international model [[Katia Elizarova]]. ▼

===Changes in style and lineup===
In 2011, the band released a new album "Недетское время" ("Nedetskoe vremya", A Time not for Kids), featuring a more electropop-sounding style, and for the first time the autotune was used. The album itself was released online for free.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.avariya.ru/media.aspx |title=Официальный сайт группы "Дискотека Авария" | Музыка |access-date=2012-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804104825/http://www.avariya.ru/media.aspx |archive-date=2012-08-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
