What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

Discovered through an all-female DJ-battle in 2016, Sara Sukkha quickly climbed the ranks of Western Canada’s electronic music scene. With previous residencies in Vancouver and Calgary, she has since supported the hottest names in entertainment including John Summit, Deadmau5, Sofi Tukker & more. Since moving into production in 2018, her vocals can now be heard across several slices of the industry with releases on DFTD, Mau5trap, and Tomorrowland Records, garnering attention and support from industry heavyweights such as Diplo, Tiesto, David Guetta, and more.

Growing up playing the flute, singing, and performing in marching band, Sara’s musical instincts date back to her youngest years. While living in the UK at a later time, she was heavily influenced by the underground sounds of Drum & Bass, Grime, and Dubstep. Since this first introduction to electronic music, she has refused to settle for any one sound in the spectrum. 

Chat with any member of Western Canada’s scene and you will quickly learn that limits and comfort zones are words that cease to exist in Sara’s dictionary. Today, her extensive music library spans from delicate deep house to drum and bass, ensuring she’s equally prepped for a B2B with Nora En Pure, Alix Perez, or Adam Beyer at any moment. With such a thirst for variety and reputation for unexpectedly surprising her crowds, defining a typical Sara Sukkha set can be an impossible task. Yet, three things remain constant in her performances — her gradual storylines, her infusion of different influences, and her gravitation towards the darker, underground sides of all genres she chooses to play.

With a positive attitude, relentless dedication to perfecting her art and a hands-on approach in managing her own brand, Sara’s future is looking bright with many more milestones to conquer. 

Wherever she goes next, Sara Sukkha is proud to promise her crowds only one thing — to expect the unexpected.
