Kӣr is the solo production epithet of Bane Jovančević, resident live
artist and program manager of Belgrade’s club Drug§tore. His first
release Imrali was on Creme Organization and second one
Mramorje was released on Yerevan Tapes.
By combining traditional and experimental influences in electro-acoustic music,
Kӣr creates the sound in which drone-navigated post-industrial logos
transgresses into a tribal mythos, in search for the traces of future. The clash of
synths and acoustics invoke an audio landscape of Byzantine sacral traditions
and Balkan folklore rhythms. Kӣr’s symbolic language (Dimiskija, Imrali,
Mramorje, Balčak) layers it up with an ancient temporality and its logic of being
that is not past but our own. The basic concept is to challenge conventional and
predominant rhythmic structures in music by juxtaposing traditional rhythms with
contemporary electronic sound design. The visual imaginary invoked in the
sound – that of a forest air, a river, a hum of birds – delivered through the
ruthlessness of the machine, insist on an active listening, to all the otherworldly
of this world. It is music that hypnotizes, contemplates and raves. And it always
dances.

Lukatoyboy is a musician, sound artist and educator from Belgrade, currently based in Berlin.

His sound art practice is based on performances dealing with networks, sound and narrative, using walkie talkies and site specific topics.
Focused on the relation of chances and structures, he creates participatory works with suggested rules, questioning exclusivity and authority of an artist.
He is currently researching alternative methods of listening, using found architecture and proposed distance as tools for discovery.

As a musician, he is mostly involved in electroacoustic improvisation (based on real-time sampling of various objects, toys, voices, and field recordings) using feedback and analogue synthesizers. Lukatoyboy also produces nanotechno and free IDM on a Game Boy.

He has performed and/or taught workshops at festivals: CTM, Unsound, TodaysArt, Communikey, Semibreve, Wasted, Moers, UH, Phonart, Uovokids, Netaudio… in countries Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Austria, Turkey, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium, Slovenia, Romania, Sweden, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Portugal, Finland.

His collaborations name Sainkho Namtchylak, Svetlana Spajić, Mia Zabelka, Irena Tomažin, Peter Evans, Franz Hautzinger, Eric Thielemans, Jonas Kocher, Laurent Bruttin, Martin Brandlmayr, Johannes Frisch, Georg Wissel, Branko Džinović, Balazs Pandi, and Igor Čubrilović, among others.

Since 2010, edits Blind Tapes, a participatory and chance dedicated tape label.

He was recognized with an award for sound design for the theatre play Bartleby (2011, Mini Teater, Slovenia) at the international theatre festival Borštnikovo Srečanje.

As an educator, he led numerous workshops for kids, dealing with topics of improvisation, sound art and performative narrative in most of the European countries and several states of the USA.

He was an artist in residence at STEIM (Amsterdam), Pedra Sina (Funchal), Semibreve (Braga), Titanik Gallery, (Turku) and Hai Art (Hailuoto).

Lukatoyboy is a recipient of the “Ubiquitous Art and Sound” Open Call for works, awarded by Deutschlandradio Kultur/Klangkunst, Goethe-Institut, ICAS – International Cities for Advanced Sound, ECAS – European Cities for Advanced Sound, and CTM Festival, which sought unusual ideas for pairing the specific artistic possibilities of radio with the potentials of live performance or installation in 2013.

He is a cofounder of a residency/festival MultiMadeira.

For 30 years and over 250 releases Lo Recordings have provided alternative music since the mid-90s. The output reaches far across the electronic music spectrum.

Cocoon Recordings has been founded in the year 2000 as a part of the Cocoon Music Event GmbH. Sven Väth has initiated Cocoon Recordings in order to complete the Cocoon platform as a supporting tool for young artists in Electronic Music. The label philosophy is as simple as demanding: helping young producers and DJs to release their music without depending on Major Label structures. The releases can mainly be assigned to the genres Techno and House.

Cocoon Recordings as a label and Sven Väth as an artist stand for the use of vinyl as sound carrier, also in the future. Admittedly, the Digital Division of Cocoon Recordings has also been set up in 2008 and the numbers of downloads are indeed enjoyable. However, the label's focus is on vinyl, now and in the future. In order to complete the range of services that Cocoon Recordings offers, the publishing company Cocoon Publishing was founded in 2010.

Petar Vakić was born in Novi Sad, grown and raised in Ruma where he showed interest in early teens for alternative music and was for a time playing guitar with alternative hardcore band Duo De La Muerte. Studied (and graduated in) applied photography (graphical engineering and design) and showed a great interest and enthusiasm for electronic music in his 20's, going to minimal techno and house parties, raves, organizing events and started to produce his own music about 2013. influenced by a lot of electronic acts and artists as well as the other music engraved in him.
After releasing albums for Abstract World Records (Ambient Series 003) and Quiet Strength Records (From Mold to Medicine) he became sort of an outlaw with his self released stuff with some of the albums which were praised by Popscotch and Issue magazine. 
He had DJ sets at the beginning but later focused on live performing and made it on Live Soundtrack events held in Belgrade, Serbia as well as one time in Ruma.
