Your Periphery Is My Center- Bosnia and Herzegovina - Oramics & ELMÆ - 21 Oct 2024

De/constructed club experience created in a challenging sociopolitical environment but confined to no address.

At the nexus of Radićeva 1 lies an alternative haven, cultivating art's birth and delight. Yet, its essence roams far from mere coordinates, embracing myriad realms, intertwined. 

We are boundless - being, becoming, and reimagining.

We practice the future in the now.

@elmaemuslija aka SESTRE is a multidisciplinary artist, a DJ, and the CEO of Radićeva 1 - deconstructed club experience created in a challenging sociopolitical environment but confined to no address.

SESTRE is an audio-visual project which in its 10-year long run went all the way from designing social values and equalizing between creative and political authorities through various exhibitions and performances, to pioneering an inclusive club experience in Sarajevo. In his ever-changing music narrative, in the past 10 years, Elmæ has created a spacious ethereal atmosphere with hard-hitting-hardstyle-inspired beats which sound like a collapsing building; but now he has reached, what he thinks is, his final destination: an ecosystem called E-motional landscapes which is a fresh blend of playful breakbeat, IDM-ish glitched-out beats, breakbeat, neurofunk and heavvvy bass. Is SESTRE club music? Depends on when you tune in. After all, it is about dissecting the club in the name of creating a new one.

ELMÆ is a Bosnian-born multidisciplinary artist, producer, DJ, and the CEO of Radićeva 1 (@radiceva1) - a deconstructed club experience created in a challenging sociopolitical environment, yet confined to no fixed address. 
In his ever-evolving musical narrative over the past ten years, ELMÆ’s presence has centered on continuity and the creation of self-sustaining ecosystems. 
The (art) practice he is most known for is SESTRE (@sestresjj) - an audiovisual project that, over its decade-long run, has evolved from designing social values and constructing artificial equalization between creative and political authorities through exhibitions and performances, to pioneering an inclusive club experience in Sarajevo. A spacious, ethereal atmosphere paired with hard-hitting, hardstyle-inspired beats - sounding like a collapsing building -served as a precursor to his latest project: an ecosystem called E-motional Landscapes, which has been ongoing for three years. Using the overly monetized SoundCloud platform to declare a non-place as someplace, to turn a person into a club, ELMÆ creates a digital conglomerate of emotions, love, and memories - translated into the language of disintegration. Yet, it is always more than a regrettable, ill-fated dogma. Its static, linear notion of transmitting information is sometimes interrupted - often in the form of IDM, glitch, leftfield, jungle, breakbeat, neurofunk, and heavy bass - but the conversation remains ongoing.
