Whether in Ljubljana, Berlin or beyond, 198319831983 creates music that lingers - deep, angular, emotionally textured, and driven by restless intent.

198319831983 is an alias of electronic music artist Jakob Bekš, whose trajectory traces a reccurent arc: from the political urgency 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 the 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.

ODPODCAST044 - SOD-90

SOD-90 is a French hybrid artist, producer, DJ, and classical flutist. He began producing electronic music while studying at the conservatory in Berlin, developing a sound defined by raw textures, twisted synths, heavy drums, and complex arrangements. His music seeks to capture the fragile balance between raw grit and functional club power.

Supported by leading names and with releases on Avoidant, Warehouse Manifesto, Strange But Dance Music, and Bipolar Disorder, SOD-90 continues to refine his aesthetic while carving his own path outside conventional industry trends. His next EP will be released next month on Co-Accused Records.

Strange But Dance Music #219: Mika Regards

Maschine Brennt is the electronic project of Swedish producer Joacim Thenander, active in the scene since the late 1980s. Originally launched in 1991 as a side project to Cultivated Bimbo, Maschine Brennt explores the intersection of man and machine — blending classic ’80s electro aesthetics with modern precision.
After years of producing house, techno, and drum ’n’ bass, the project was revived in 2014 with releases on Plonk, Encrypted Records, Battery Park Studio, Ukonx Recordings, Bass Agenda Recordings, and Connectome Records.
Maschine Brennt has also remixed artists such as The System, Emmon, Kretz, Datapop, and Vogon Poetry, and contributed DJ mixes to Tracklistings, Dark Science Electro, Noise To Meet You, and several editions of Encrypted Transmissions.
This mix reflects his ongoing dedication to deep, machine-driven rhythms — merging dark techno energy with the timeless pulse of the Düsseldorf electro tradition.
