Dark electro and EBM to melt away the chains of consensus reality!

198319831983 - ...and we thought it was all about PLUR !

The journey that unfolds in this 6-track EP reminds us of a journey through a dystopian nightmare of a metropolis, where we are faced with the harsh reality of the underlying effect mechanizing every aspect of life has had and will undoubtedly only increase with time. A place where any notion of anything else than unbound overconsumption and conquest is deemed unhealthy and is swiftly eradicated by the unrelenting current of a society gripped by the curse of Stockholm Syndrome.

It serves as a parallel to the reality nobody wants, yet most are diving into, head first as if their chosen savior descended from heaven itself.

Give Us Back Our Future [ORG010]

Optimistic visions and advertised promises of a better future cracking in stark realization that time is running away from everyone."

Written, produced and mixed by 1983.
Mastered at the Wave Terminal, Berlin.

Hindsight 2023 by TPROACH

198319831983 is a DJ and producer hailing from Ljubljana, Slovenia. He has been active within the electronic music scene for more than two decades, 
including roles in event promotion, art direction, and label management. Equally adept at dictating sweaty dancefloors or curating a listening experience, his love for and appreciation of the broader scope of (electronic) music can be felt in both his own music and his DJ sets. It is perhaps best encapsulated in his imprint, Honest Work Recordings, which shies away from stylistic constraints and serves as a platform for both physically and cerebrally engaging electronic music from emerging and seasoned artists alike.

As a temporal art, music only ever exists in the moment, yet that moment and the mindspace necessary for full immersion is more fleeting and prone to disruption than ever. 198319831983's Intrinsic guest mix plants the willing listener firmly in the here and now through meditative soundscapes, building on subtle yet hypnotic rhythms with a touch of experimental electronica, cinematic sound design, and bittersweet melodies that invoke the primal connection between the oscillation of sound waves and the uncharted waters of the spiritual realm.

Whether in Ljubljana, Berlin or beyond, 198319831983 creates music that lingers - deep, angular, emotionally textured, and driven by restless intent.

198319831983 is an alias of electronic music artist Jakob Bekš, whose trajectory traces a reccurent arc: from the political urgency of hardcore punk to the immersive futurism of electronic music. Born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia), Bekš came of age amid shifting political and cultural tectonics - formative tensions that continue to reverberate through his work.

A key figure in Slovenia’s underground scene, he co-founded the now-defunct but highly regarded Scienceofuse collective and label (2006–2016), and was instrumental in co-curating Gumitwist - a seminal series of club nights at Ljubljana’s Klub K4 that became a stop for global innovators like A Guy Called Gerald, Legowelt, Modeselektor, Morphosis, etc. His finely tuned sensibility behind the decks earned him residencies and regular appearances at key nights throughout the region.

From 2015 to 2020, Berlin became a base for further experimentation. There, he launched Imaginary Radio Stations, a boundary-blurring sound narrative and event project developed with collaborators CP-AK and Evano, hosted at the club Maze. This cross-border platform embraced live performance, installation, and improvisation, folding experimentalism into the dancefloor.

Working across multiple aliases - including TPROACH and Age of Revolt - he navigates a wide terrain: from atmospheric electronica and deep techno to angular electro and leftfield club mutations. In 2021, he founded Honest Work Recordings, a boutique label inaugurated by his debut full-length album Microdosing Dystopia, a record that fuses finely distilled emotional snapshots with textural depth and rhythmic precision.

Whether through releases on KRI Records, De/Fragment, Voiceless, or via his own platforms, 198319831983 delivers music that is restlessly aesthetic yet conceptually grounded, his work moves with sonic intent and lingers with emotional depth.
