What’s 2 m tall, lives Behind the Iron Curtain,
has 1605 reasons to run an awesome label and
*fucking 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 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 on 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 musictech startup Viberate (www.viberate.com), where they are building the world’s greatest music platform.

Biografie
Der 23 - jährige Frankfurter Dustin Wagner aka DARKNER kam Ende 2016 auf einem Rave das erste Mal mit Techno in Berührung, dabei verliebte er sich direkt in den melodischen & düsteren Sound. 
Anfang 2017 fing er durch seinen besten Freund, damals noch an einem 2-Kanal Mixer, an sich mit dem auflegen zu beschäftigen. Schnell wurde ihm klar das er so seine Emotionen ausdrücken möchte und so entschied sich DARKNER Ende 2017 dazu, seinen eigenen 4-deck Controller zu kaufen.  Seine Inspiration holte er sich von DJs wie JUNKY, Champas und MORSURE und so verfeinerte er immer mehr seinen eigenen Sound. Im Herbst 2018 entschied er sich dann für einen DJM750K um seinen Sound nochmehr zu optimieren und wurde Resident der Frankfurter Veranstaltungsreihe Beastmode. Und seit Sommer 2021 auch bei der Kölner Veranstaltungsreihe Bassismuss.

As a collective, label and organizer Serotonin is present in Cologne since 2020. This project was founded by Niclas Engelken and Monotrack.
Since day one, Serotonin stands for constant advancement, musical diversity and kind people who have created an environment in which you can discover your creativity.
Their numerous events in Cologne, mainly at Club Domhof, proved to be a kind of finding phase. The experiences made in this early phase shaped the culture of the collective: the team was fascinated by accompanying people through the course of a night and putting a smile on their faces. Giving their visitors a great experience became their philosophy. Through a well-structured musical selection, visitors are offered a magical atmosphere from start to end, inviting them to dream and devote themselves completely to the music.
In its weekly podcast series Serotonin gives artists the opportunity, not only to present their music, but also their face. They want the listener to know who the person is behind the art. They also regularly release music as a registered music label.
The team behind Serotonin is excited about the future and looks forward to many encounters and experiences with people who share their passion.
