‘96 - the peak of Goa Trance and the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Sasha. The same year two boys named Igor were born in Belgrade, Serbia. 
Locally well known deejays following their own journey through sound, (Igor) Cosmic G and (Igor) Dakman have already shown maturity in both choosing and making records; their first studio work together nested IGORI, a four track EP neatly blending each one’s distinctive sound.

Straight off the bat “I” opens a portal into another dimension, with crispy percussion and intricate baseline progression, gated sounds leading to a swift breakdown before the groove takes hold once again.

“G” shows its darker tone, captivating progressive trance melodies of the turn of the century: distant vocalizations cleverly fiddle with an ever-evolving harmony, as the percussive tones maintain a high energy.

Perhaps musically the biggest achievement of the EP is the third track “O” - melodic storytelling reflecting more analogue times is tightly arranged around a striped down drum groove laced with minimal synth stabs.

“R” reflects the mood of the entire release with a classic progressive sound, swinging back to a more obscure, deep tech direction. IGORI EP is closed with an unstoppable drum programming carried by multitrack of melodies, showing a leveled collaboration of two gifted producers.

he boys are back! After their initial collaboration cleverly named IGORI (an homage to the name they share), Cosmic G & Dakman returned to the studio. Dazzled by the contrasts of their surrounding and the most recent insurrection of society in their native country of Serbia, the two prolific producers dug deep into their past, in an attempt to disclose these contrasts through club music - using essential console entertainment of their kidulthood.

The four-tracker release bares the names of legendary video games, with the objective to marry the carelessness of the artists’ upbringing in the early 2000s and the current state of affairs, while subliminally pointing out the ill features that surround them.

First up is “Frozen Throne”, shaking up the place with a warm bouncy baseline and a tropical drum arrangement; cold vocal snippets and synth hits create a smart divergence of elements upsurging the tension in the break, before the warmth of the bass and groove overwhelms us on the drop.

Next off is “CS 1.6” the infamous tactical first-person shooter computer game, this time disguised in a wonderful, yet esoteric progressive house track displaying the joint signature sound the two producers are known for from their previous EP: positive backing theme is confronted by gloomy synth arrangements, and closed off with an oriental melody, all placed along a solid 90’s drum machine arrangement.

“Serious Sam” takes us on a voyage full of gated voices and pads: straight to the point, the almost-dystopian, deep, cut up vocal articulation is carried by a playful baseline and emerging one-note stabs, before it all evolves to a frisky chase of melodic components. As the game itself, this B-side is full anticipations and uncertainties - a guaranteed recipe for a busy dance floor.

Concluding this release is “Age of Empire (Burn A Bich Edit)” - clearly alluding to the political state, while cleverly placing a voice of a known figure of that milieu. Adding much more swing to the drum pattern, the track’s simplified baseline gives way to the melodic structures: the breakdown releases the full statement of the vocal piece, sending a message of hope and perseverance.

Beogradski izvodjač Igor Tobdžić, poznatiji kao Dakman, snažno odjekuje medju zidovima domaće klupske scene. Primer strpljivog i posvećenog rada, ovaj nadareni didžej i producent istakao se hitom “Noćni život”, zatim poveo štafetu mlade generacije. Zapažen od publike, ali i starijih kolega po kreativnosti i strasti prema muzici, uslediće saradnje sa imenima poput Dejana Milićevića, Cosmic G-ja koje su zasluženo primile pohvale i nominacije, učvrstivši Dakmanov renome na regionalnoj elektronskoj sceni.





Dakman je nastupao u gotovo svim istaknutim klubovima širom Srbije i regiona, a njegovo prisustvo na velikim festivalima dodatno je istaklo nesumnjiv talenat i energiju. Njegova muzika je simbioza dobrog groove-a i hipnotišućih melodija, osvajajući i najzahtevnije ljubitelje elektronskog zvuka: jedinstvenost Dakmanovog izraza ne može se svesti na jedan žanr, jednostavno je - dobra muzika!



Nakon rezidenture u beogradskom klubu Half sa kolegom pokreću svoj brend Mindless, danas jedan od vodećih regionalnih malih događaja posvećenih house muzici. Kroz originalnost njihovih žurki, ali i novonastalu izdavačku kuću Mindless Records, Dakman nastavlja da inspiriše istomišljenike i okuplja ljubitelje kvalitetne underground elektronske muzike, već kao ozbiljan akter na sceni.
