Where do you start when introducing a DJ and producer like Marko Nastic? How about as a key part of the team who founded the internationally acclaimed Exit Festival who been at the forefront of the electronic music scene in South East Europe for countless years? Or as the pioneering selector and promoter that should first caught our attention as the name that kept cropping up on some of our favourite labels as he an impressive production career with a back catalogue stretching across imprints such as Tronic, Earresistible Music and Soweso to name but a few? Or better still a musical revolutionary who lead the youth in the rising up against the dark political forces that dominated the atmosphere in Serbia 90's and through electronic music; Marko Nastic enabled millions to resist?

Yes, in an age wherein many artists speak lots without saying anything Marko is a shining example of what we can still achieve through music if we put our mind to it. It’s amazing how musical creativity often finds its most fertile breeding grounds in times and places of hardship and adversity. Destruction inevitably leads to creation and the human spirit is often most inspired during the rebuilding process. Look at Berlin for example, the reunification of the city which had suffered for so long quickly led to its establishment as one of the cosmopolitan and interesting places in the world. Thus it came as little surprise to us at Data Transmission when Eastern Europe vibrant music scene began to emerge as one of the biggest hotbeds of creativity with artists like Marko at the vanguard of the movement. 

After recently wowing us at Exit with a techno set that will live long in the memory we were then further impressed by Marko upon listening to his inbound Love Dancing EP which arrives this September 3rd via AMA Recordings. With oscillating 303 acid lines, shifting percussion and throbbing bass underpinning the release it perfectly reflects Mr. Nastic’s style both in the booth as well as the studio. So our only question was “how do we get Marko on the podcast?” with the answer surprisingly simple. So without further ado may we present to you the sounds of Marko Nastic. Enjoy.
