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.

Jabiluka is the debut EP from new Sydney triumvirate YOKE. 

Working with The Jezabels’ Nik Kaloper, the Sydney 3-piece have crafted an EP full of “perfect shorts-weather pop” (Noisey) and “sweet New Wave sounds” (whothehell). Referencing the immersive sounds of Cocteau Twins and The Cure, along with Prince and alt R&B, Jabiluka showcases the bands distinctive yet very accessible style.

After sharing stages with the likes of Banoffee, Collarbones and Holy Holy, YOKE returned to the studio in 2015 with producer Nik Kaloper of the Jezabels. The resulting single ‘So far’, embraces the expansive world of chill wave and synth pop. YOKE are eagerly working on material for their forthcoming debut album and "shimmer with the promise of becoming a big deal in years to come." (the music)
