"Djokovic is a newcomer with a bright future as a producer and DJ. His music always transports a unique feeling straight to my heart. Melodic techno at it's best” says label boss Monika Kruse.

Pandora is darker and heavier on the drums but also has more trance-inducing synth chords that get you under their spell. They move about the scales to bring musicality to the driving drums and add drama to any set.

Ilija Djokovic - Pandora (Original Mix)

The art of DJing. I've always been the person who loves to take the risk and accepts to play before or after the artists whose musical direction is different than my own. It's inspiring to me to leave my comfort zone and explore the other galaxies that exist in the music itself. On another hand - it's fun! 

Enjoy in the first half of my closing set after the great Stephan Bodzin, cheers! x

Out February 21st

After wearing the Drumcode jersey for the first time in 2019 and his impressive Beatport's number one hit-track 'Atom' ━Ilija Djokovic is back on Terminal M with a new two-tracker called 'Eris'. This year marks a very special 20th anniversary of Terminal M existence and Djokovic is excited to be a part of it.

This amazing release has already gained support from big names such as Adam Beyer, Danny Tenaglia, Pan-Pot and IlarioAlicante among others.

A rare treat for Drumcode faithful: A-Sides Vol.10 is set to drop in December, the second edition of the beloved series to come in 2020.

Fuelled by the extra time and space to be creative during lockdown, Drumcode’s collective of artists have stepped up. Across 17 contributions, the producers have gone deeper into their sonic repertoire, crafting powerful, yet reflective works that capture the range of the label’s sound.

Jay Lumen leads the way with a rousing riff-driven weapon, ‘Galactic Rainbow’, while Ramon Tapia brings us the muscular gem ‘Drum Control’, mixing up ruffneck techno with a barrage of synapse-tickling synths in the second half. Both rousing highlights of the compilation.
Victor Ruiz, Drumcode’s most prolific contributor in 2020, dishes up ‘Love Story’, led by a huge vocal lead. Zimmz also returns with ‘Tension’, which deftly combines deep squelchy grooves with a silky synth interlude. Thomas Hoffknecht follows up his debut on Vol.9 with ‘Escape’, keeping listeners on their toes with dynamic, choppy shifts throughout. Veerus joins with another stirring addition ‘I Know’, reinforcing why Beyer rates him so highly.

Elsewhere a string of debutants feature: buzzy newcomer Lilly Palmer gives us ‘Amnesie’, a brilliantly pummelling and eerie cut; Alex Lentini & Stomp Boxx serve up ‘Expanders’ mixing up drone effects, trippy vocals and an unsettling melody line; and Patrik Berg’s ‘Activated’ is full-bodied techno that drops down into funky rhythms.

Long-time DC family member Bart Skils brings his A-game with the thrilling no-nonsense ‘Solid State’ that hits like a steam train. Likewise, Alan Fitzpatrick who brings a momentous slab of techno energy with ‘Rochus’, while Thomas Schumacher, now feeling like a regular on the imprint, crafts another dark techno opus, this time in collaboration with CAITLIN.

There’s even a special appearance by the chief Adam Beyer, who makes a welcome return with the progressive-tinged ‘Changes’, driven by organic tones and spacey atmospherics. The track stands as his first original contribution to A-Sides since 2017.

Ilija Djokovic B2B Coeus live from half, Belgrade 202x

The Belgrade-based talent takes care to convey real emotion in his melodies and power in his rhythms. His meticulous approach both in the DJ booth and the studio results in sounds that move people in many different ways. For this reason and after many years of work, he has gone from being a secret Serbian talent to someone now making his mark on the world stage with fans like Paul Kalkbrenner, Carl Cox and Chris Liebig.

Djokovic has proven his international credentials over the last decade-plus with releases on high-profile labels like Drumcode, Filth on Acid and Armada. He reached overall Number 1 on the Beatport techno chart with the mighty 'Atom,' which also made Ilija one of the genre's best-selling artists of the year. 

That track was something of a breakout moment that got high-profile support from the likes of Maceo Plex, and further successes have followed on Second State and Terminal M. More melodic tracks like 'Vega' on Armada Records and 'Equilibrium' on Drumcode showed a different side to this vital artist. The latter was one of the most requested IDs of Adam Beyer's DJ sets at the time: it paired driving drum programming with the sort of mind-expanding synth work that takes dancers to another level.

While remaining true to his mysterious and atmospheric signature sound, Djokovic is always evolving as proven with an explosive outing on Reinier Zonneveld's cult Filth on Acid label. It featured tripped-outbangers that fuse 
 spine-tingling chords with hypnotic beats, as do his DJ sets, which have taken him to world-class clubs and festivals like UNTOLD, Watergate, Exit's Dance Arena, Lovefest, Echowaves, EGG London, De Marktkantine and more. 

As Djokovic continues to climb ever-higher Beatport's Techno Top 100 and prepares to launch his Point Beyond label with a big first release featuring a Flug remix, he is now one of the most essential voices in the contemporary techno conversation.
