Emerging from the depths of an atomic shelter in Novi Sad, our podcast channel is the sonic extension of a movement that began hosting underground parties in 2015. What started as an experimental project by a group of young enthusiasts has evolved into a dedicated platform for hypnotic, slow-burning sounds. Our focus spans genres like acid, electro, breaks, Italo, EBM, and slow trance, promoting vanguard artists who push the boundaries of electronic music.

Techno DJ based in Belgrade, originally hailing from Montenegro.

Purveyor of galloping, hard hitting, purely floor dedicated techno.

His style is  defined by abundant music collection, and boosted by obsessive search for more. The “X” is an abbreviation of ‘excavator’, which is an homage to the relentless track excavation ritual, that led him through deepest tunnels and caves of the Internet, over the course of 5 years. His meticulously curated track archive is ever-expanding, and ranging from 90s hard house and trance, ebm/industrial, tribal/hardgroove, and then back to the future and cutting-edge, hyper-energetic fast techno wave. Nurturing a deep passion for movies and soundtracks, while storing a huge chunk of turbo-folk discography in a distant corner of his brain, he experiments with unimaginable polymerizations, purposely poisoning his mixes, in an effort to create so called “mutant techno”.

In 2018, his 'baptism by fire' took place in Drugstore, the notorious Belgrade 'techno cathedral', which for him meant a long awaited bucket list achievement.

Dooban X is one of the founders of Kolektiv Base, a music collective from Belgrade, assembled by five DJs, producers and obsessive music enthusiasts. Sharing the same passion, but different background and experience, Kolektiv has been growing in the public eye through series of private after-hour events, taking place in their studio;  and  ‘secret location’ underground parties, scattered around hidden and unconventional locations.

Co-founder of @ctrl_art_del label

Grafik began his DJ journey in 2020 during a period of restrictions, when friends offered him the opportunity to showcase his talent and passion at underground events. Since then, his love for techno has deepened, becoming a way for him to tell stories. In his sets, he combines hypnotic, repetitive rhythms with atmospheric deep drones, creating immersive experiences for listeners.

Since 2022, he has been collaborating with his close friend Efectiv on the project CTRL ART DEL, where they jointly create unique techno events and explore new sonic landscapes with visual experiences. Simultaneously, he is fully diving into producing his own music.

As a member of the Fúze team, he is part of a significant alliance of techno collectives who together contribute to the rich Czech techno scene.
