198319831983 is an alias of electronic music artist Jakob Bekš, whose early music trajectory traces a familiar arc: from the urgency and radical politics of hardcore punk to the immersive futurism of electronic music. Born and raised in Ljubljana, Slovenia (then Yugoslavia), Bekš came of age amid shifting political and cultural tectonics—formative tensions that continue to reverberate through his work.
 
A key figure in Slovenia’s underground scene, he co-founded the now-defunct but highly regarded Scienceofuse collective and label (2006–2016), and was instrumental in co-curating Gumitwist—a seminal series of club nights at Ljubljana’s Klub K4 that became a stop for global innovators like A Guy Called Gerald, Legowelt, Modeselektor, Morphosis, etc. His finely tuned sensibility behind the decks earned him residencies and regular appearances at key nights throughout the region.

From 2015 to 2020, Berlin became a base for further experimentation. There, he launched Imaginary Radio Stations, a boundary-blurring sound narrative and event project developed with collaborators CP-AK and Evano, hosted at club Maze. This cross-border platform embraced live performance, installation, and improvisation, folding experimentalism into the dancefloor.

Working across multiple aliases—including TPROACH and Age of Revolt—he navigates a wide terrain: from atmospheric electronica and deep techno to angular electro and leftfield club mutations. In 2021, he founded Honest Work Recordings, a boutique label inaugurated by his debut full-length album Microdosing Dystopia, a record that fuses finely distilled emotional snapshots with textural depth and rhythmic precision. Whether through releases on KRI Records, De/Fragment, Voiceless, or via his own platforms, 198319831983 delivers music that is restlessly aesthetic yet conceptually grounded, his work moves with sonic intent and lingers with emotional depth.

The future holds many hopes for Ashleigh De-Niro. Hailing from East London, Ashleigh’s passion for music was evident at a very early stage in life when acquiring a Technic turntable from his uncle at the tender age of 4. Since then Ashleigh has been a avid music listener and vinyl collector drawing influences from Jazz, Funk, R’n’B, Dub Reggae & Hip Hop. Within his teenage years, dance music played an intricate part for where he is today. The sounds of House & UK Garage in the late 90’s and early 2000’s put together the pieces for where Ashleigh’s sound lies now. In a very short amount of time within 2011, Ashleigh has emerged behind the decks at some of London’s most respectable nightspots including Egg, Public Life, Warehouse & Vibe Bar playing his unique interpretation of Deep Techno House. A typical Ashleigh De-Niro set would include energetic raw edged deep driven spontaneous grooves with sonic tech layers. Ashleigh is currently hosting his weekly radio show 'The Abyss Show' on London's leading underground station Project FM 106.5/ www.projectfmlive.co.uk on Wednesdays at 8pm - 10pm where his experimental  flavor of underground music is displayed.
