Originally from Minsk, Belarus, Alexei started discovering the world of electronic music in early 90s when he heard a tape containing various hard dance tracks of that time. But the strongest influence on establishing his musical preferences carried the famous How Much is the Fish from Scooter. His acquaintance with trance music began in 2005 from such DJs as George Acosta and Armin van Buuren.[3] UCast took his first steps into music production in 2006/2007, and very soon realesed his single called Through Depth. During the next two years such tracks as Fuck The Global, Calipso, Metro, Hesperia, One Day were realsed. The most of them were supported by top trance artists and been played at Tiësto's Club Life, Paul van Dyk's Vonyc Sessions, Aly & Fila's Future Sound of Egypt, and have been played at their live performances as well.

At the same time he started producing, UCast began DJing and his first success came in 2009, when he was playing at Godskitchen Belarus with Sander van Doorn. After that, he was hosting such famous events as Global Gathering, Trancemission, FSOE Anniversary.
