Control (Original Mix)

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.

I just like to share my favorite music. That's pretty much all I have to say.

Originaire de Lille basé à Paris 🇫🇷.
Ancien créateur du Label KTK Records mais également Organisateur d’évènements Parisien, la musique a toujours fait partie de lui.

Il parcourt les festivals de différents pays comme Awakenings / Time Warp / DGTL Barcelone à la recherche de nouvelles idées. 

Adouci avec le temps, il est maintenant influencé par des artistes comme Recondite, Tale of us, KAS:ST mais cela ne l’empêche pas de revenir sur les fondamentales de la techno si besoin.
Ses sets mélodiques vont à coup sur vous faire voyager.
