And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

COLLAPSE OF THE TECHNO BUBBLE

(Schimmenspel / Shadow Play / Phantasmagoria)

Free for the free. Best listened to on a massive soundsystem when high on metaphenethylamine.

It might be a well kept secret that Zagreb scene fixture Mimi (part of Ekstrakt, one of the longest running and most consistent crews in town) bakes a mean pizza, but it's common knowledge is that he is one of the best and most refreshing DJ's in town. Period. 
It is pretty obvious to us and ours that he should be butterflying around the international circuit and hob knob with the techno elistists. But yo, this ain't Berlin and life is tough outside the self cleaning oven of the hype machine and Mimi is one of many highly skilled local DJ's toiling away on the fringes, saving countless parties from the horrors of the one hit wonder producer "DJ".
So for most of y'all this will be probably the first and only chance to hear him drop a vivid selection of slow burning mid tempo mind warpers. If you have some space in your overflowing media trough we highly recommend you take this appetizer as a main course.
