What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain, has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label, and flies? Meet UMEK, a techno legend from Slovenia.

UMEK is personally responsible for kickstarting the electronic music scene in his home country by first organizing illegal raves and then becoming one of Slovenia’s most wanted export products and the number one music ambassador to the whole world.

And he does fly! Around 100 times per year, visiting almost every continent each year. His gig diary ranges from dark underground clubs in Berlin to massive techno stages at the world’s most renowned festivals. 

Apart from making his name in the DJ booth, he’s also a tireless producer. He mostly releases on his own imprint 1605, and most of his tracks end up on the very top of Beatport’s charts. After more than 25 years as a professional musician, he decided to use his experience and skills in the entrepreneurial world. Together with his managers, he founded a music-tech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

Having started his DJ career in Amsterdam playing illegal parties and underground raves, Lauhaus went on to become a resident of some of Amsterdam’s finest clubs including: Studio 80, Melkweg, Club 11 and Mazzo.
In 2009 together with Kabale und Liebe, Lauhaus started Soweso Records and just like his DJ sets the label’s sound became synonymous with "a fine line between house and techno and a love for the deep and underground". In great testament to Lauhaus’ A+R skills, Soweso went onto feature a number of established names as well as becoming a renowned stepping stone for both home-grown and International talent
As a producer, Lauhaus has been active on many fronts in the past decade, having released on labels such as: Sushitech, Cocoon, Viva, Rejected, Circus Company and most recently Danse Club and OFF Recordings.
In conjunction with his solo career, Lauhaus has also been releasing as Polder (together with David Labeij) and after some heavy touring in the 00’s and an album on Intacto in 2008, Polder is back with a brand new liveset and releases on Amam, Bla Bla, Upon You and Danse Club.
Over the years Lauhaus has played all over the globe, at venues like Studio 80 (Amsterdam), Welcome to the Future (Amsterdam), Watergate (Berlin), Sisyphos (Berlin), Electric Pickle (Miami), Sankeys (Ibiza & Manchester), Arma 17 (Moscow), Space (Ibiza), D-Edge (Sao Paolo), Rex (Paris) and Eleven (Tokyo).
