Elektrochat #59 - Dakman

‘96 - the peak of Goa Trance and the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Sasha. The same year two boys named Igor were born in Belgrade, Serbia. 
Locally well known deejays following their own journey through sound, (Igor) Cosmic G and (Igor) Dakman have already shown maturity in both choosing and making records; their first studio work together nested IGORI, a four track EP neatly blending each one’s distinctive sound.

Straight off the bat “I” opens a portal into another dimension, with crispy percussion and intricate baseline progression, gated sounds leading to a swift breakdown before the groove takes hold once again.

“G” shows its darker tone, captivating progressive trance melodies of the turn of the century: distant vocalizations cleverly fiddle with an ever-evolving harmony, as the percussive tones maintain a high energy.

Perhaps musically the biggest achievement of the EP is the third track “O” - melodic storytelling reflecting more analogue times is tightly arranged around a striped down drum groove laced with minimal synth stabs.

“R” reflects the mood of the entire release with a classic progressive sound, swinging back to a more obscure, deep tech direction. IGORI EP is closed with an unstoppable drum programming carried by multitrack of melodies, showing a leveled collaboration of two gifted producers.

Dakman 



Beogradski izvodjač Igor Tobdžić, poznatiji kao Dakman, snažno odjekuje medju zidovima domaće klupske scene. Primer strpljivog i posvećenog rada, ovaj nadareni didžej i producent istakao se hitom “Noćni život”, zatim poveo štafetu mlade generacije. Zapažen od publike, ali i starijih kolega po kreativnosti i strasti prema muzici, uslediće saradnje sa imenima poput Dejana Milićevića, Cosmic G-ja koje su zasluženo primile pohvale i nominacije, učvrstivši Dakmanov renome na regionalnoj elektronskoj sceni.





Dakman je nastupao u gotovo svim istaknutim klubovima širom Srbije i regiona, a njegovo prisustvo na velikim festivalima dodatno je istaklo nesumnjiv talenat i energiju. Njegova muzika je simbioza dobrog groove-a i hipnotišućih melodija, osvajajući i najzahtevnije ljubitelje elektronskog zvuka: jedinstvenost Dakmanovog izraza ne može se svesti na jedan žanr, jednostavno je - dobra muzika!



Nakon rezidenture u beogradskom klubu Half sa kolegom pokreću svoj brend Mindless, danas jedan od vodećih regionalnih malih događaja posvećenih house muzici. Kroz originalnost njihovih žurki, ali i novonastalu izdavačku kuću Mindless Records, Dakman nastavlja da inspiriše istomišljenike i okuplja ljubitelje kvalitetne underground elektronske muzike, već kao ozbiljan akter na sceni.
