Podime - Pi Na (Original Mix)

A native of Macedonia and longtime resident of Seattle, Kinjo contributes to the Pacific Northwest music community as a DJ, producer, promoter, and record label head. His sound has morphed through the years, yet an aura of psychedelia lifted through space by futuristic rhythms and basslines remains his consummate passion. Along the way expect teasing vocal samples, trippy twists & turns, and trancy grooves on a minimal tip.

Describing his journey through music: “The desire to play music to friends and acquaintances brings you from the dance floor to the DJ booth. The desire to see and hear how they respond to music, keeps you in the booth.” It all began with small private events in Macedonia, leading to clubs, festivals, and the Beatnex party brand in Skopje. Once in Seattle, Kinjo supported production of the venerable Decibel Festival and eventually established Grounded alongside then-local Miles Mercer. Across several years Grounded provided an unparalleled space in Seattle’s music culture for up & coming, genre-bending local DJs and premieres of touring acts such as Frank & Tony, Dorisburg, DJ Dustin, Chaos in the CBD, Toshiya Kawasaki, Palms Trax.

Alongside long-time friend and b2b partner Konifer, Kinjo launched Rhizome Records in 2018. Rhizome created a platform for introducing West Coast producers to International remixers specializing in minimal and eclectic dance music. With 2 vinyls and 6 digital releases already in its catalog, the future looks bright for Rhizomeiros everywhere. 2022 saw the emergence of the Makes Me Human events series, marking a new chapter in Kinjo’s engagement with the Seattle music scene through a monthly introduction to the international underground circuit’s finest talents including Sepp, Mihigh, Janeret, Alexandra, Cosmjn, Amir Javasoul, and an ever-growing list of must-hears.

Biography
Real Name: Julijan Tarasov
Artist Name: DicƎr
Hometown: Zagreb/Croatia
Birth date: 29th September 1990.
Occupation: DJ & Producer

My interest in electronic music started with satellite television. The first time I heard The Prodigy on the ViVa music channel, it intrigued my meanderings.
As I got older, I started earning and saving money and from the age of 16. Bought my first DJ equipment, it was a golden Pioneer Cdj 100 and a Behringer mixer, so let's see what DJ Tiesto played at Live under the bridge afterparty. TMF 2005 that was in my head.
Various interests and tastes in music have awakened, try everything and see what kind of sound I will find that will sink into my bones, where I will convey my emotions through sound waves, say, tell with melodies, and that is love.
Sven Vath, I love him, his energy doesn't give up, let's move on, that euphoria made me fall in love even more with deep groove, progressive sounds, visions, deep.

I played publicly for the first time in club 100 in Velika Gorica in 2008, and that's how it started, together with appearances at Jarun, Londoner, Aquarius, Mungos, Fanatik, Jedinica, GjuroII, F klub, OTV, Depo, Sound Factory, I was interested for the festivals Exit, Invasija, which gave me the special feeling and difference of playing outdoors.
In 2015, together with Filip, the two of us started a joint collaboration called Slicer&Dic3r, we experimented with sounds, followed people, had a crazy time, played wacky, joked, supported and laughed, it was a very happy and good experience, 2018 . I had the opportunity to play on my own desk in the basement of VictorieCRO, creating and playing with sounds, it's wonderful to feel the sounds traveling through your body.
I am glad and grateful that I played on various programs, there were also collaborations with more famous ones, some of them are CORTEX THRILL, Cid Inc., Ilija Djokovic, Siniša Tamamović, Fixsell, Mary, Toxic, Blacksoul, FSOZ , Miche, Asta Nova&Mo'Funk, The Yellowheads...
I continue as DicƎr, further into sound research, because that's what they say that music is something that guides you, that you can't live without.

So, keep your head straight up and let yourself be creative!
