DJ UMEK

Uroš Umek is internationally acclaimed music producer from
Slovenia, seducing the masses with his own music blend for more than a decade.
Always on the look for new sounds and determined to challenge every existing
cliché in music industry, he managed to define his own vision of vanguard
techno. Sure, this would not happen without the support of his loyal peers
who’ve joined him on the production platforms such as Recycled Loops, Consumer
Recreation and Astrodisco, with which they defined “Slovenian techno sound
and successfully invested it as an important driving force on the global club
scene.

The year 2007 marked the beginning of new chapter in Umek’s music
career. After spending enormous amount of time and artistic energy bringing his
characteristics sound to the whole new level, he presented new international
music therapy called 1605 – Sixteenofive. No doubt this was a very risky move
for such an established artist as DJ Umek. But it was the only way for him to
stay on top of the game. And it seems he picked up the right decision at the
crucial time: the response to his new vision of electronic dance music from his
peers, critics, media and most importantly his fans is great and his productions
are supported by some top dogs in the industry.

Umek recent productions
include highly acclaimed club releases such as Overtake & Command, Ricochet
Effect, Another Matter Entirely and Faithful Nights, but it were MTV supported
hit singles Posing as Me and Carbon Occasions that stirred the most media
attention and crossed over to the daily radio stations. Umek’s releases were
lately included on the premiere club compilations mixed by artists such as
Sander Kleinenberg, Judge Jules, Eddie Halliwell, John Digweed, M.I.K.E. or Carl
Cox. He was amongst the headliners of esteemed summer music festivals such as
Primavera, Monegros or Dance Valley and he conquered the South America on the
joint tour with Valentino Kanzyani and Marko Nastić once more. And this was only
the introduction in the Umek’s year 2008, when he plans to finally present long
expected new artist album and his own live band.
