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.

In the trend-driven universe of electronic dance music, Gregor Tresher is the rare artist who transcends such cycles. His secret? A relentless focus on melody and timbre, timeless musical elements that other producers often undervalue. Just as a painting or a photograph appears to move if one stares at it long enough, close listening to the stratified grooves and melodies in Tresher's music reveals an organic universe of shifting sound.

Collaborates with film makers, game developers, dance choreographers, theatre directors and other artists.

Composer | Producer | Sound Engineer

Having studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama where I forged my passion for sound and programming, I began working with composers including Michail Palaiologou, creating live electronics for the manipulation of instruments. Some of these works have been performed at Ekon at the Southbank Center and Sounds New festival in Canterbury. I have also created intermedia work for Music for Milton Court, a part of the Le Corbusier Exhibition at the Barbican Cinema.

I went on to work with director Mary Nighy, scoring her first short 'Lulu' as well as her directorial theatrical debut 'Lyre' at the HighTide Theatre festival in Suffolk. 

I am also an experienced live sound engineer, having worked as head sound engineer at The Forge in Camden and running sound for events at Dalston Roof Park as well running all the stage sound at Pete The Monkey in Dieppe, an up and coming music festival in France. I am also experienced in live recording, including a full symphony orchestra at St.Johns Smiths Square.

On the side, my personal project Wax Cotton has had releases of remixes for artists including Metronomy and I am currently working on original material for future release.

For the past three series of the BBC drama 'Call The Midwife' I have worked as mix engineer for composer Peter Salem.

I now work from my East London studio as a freelance producer.
