Andrej Imamovic a.k.a. D Liner, C Photon, BROTHERS FOR REAL

Andrej Imamovic aka D Liner - Producer, DJ, promoter and journalist from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Before I started producing electronic music, I used to play drums in various so called "alternative rock" bands in the period 1995-2001...

Later on, I started producing as C Photon in March 2001, spending numerous hours trying to learn how things work in the studio, producing mostly ambient and experimental electronica. Apart from that, in recent years my focus has also been on dancefloor oriented music. I have been producing and performing as D Liner in regional Balkans clubs and music festivals, including EXIT fest 2006 and 2008 (Novi Sad, Serbia). My works could be described as minimal and at times dark electronic music.

Since 2003 I have also been running a radio show and label Oscilator with my friend Greg Punkov. Label has now grown to over 60 releases, we have spent hundreds of hours on air, organized numerous parties, and our work is today recognized by lot of names from the associated music scenes. Oscilator has become a platform for many producers, DJs and other artists, to express their inspiration and publish their works, thus strengthening independent scene in our hometown Sarajevo. The music you can hear in this show is contemporary electronic music and ranges from experimental music and disco to minimal house and techno. Show is now broadcast weekly on BH radio 1, national (state-wide public) radio station.

In 2008 I started working with my brother Irmin Imamovic, and Brothers For Real are now playing live and DJ-ing, working on the new tracks, and spreading love for old skool house sounds, but in new form. In 2008 we have organized a first edition of TERMINAL - a four-day series of events promoting contemporary electronic music culture. In this way we continue promoting regional and international acts that we love.

In 2009, with my friend Irie Electric, I have launched new label Circuits Records. And these days I live between Berlin and Sarajevo and work on the new D Liner tracks and live set, which will be more deep and techno influenced than my earlier works.

Ensar zgodiĆ a.k.a. Greg Pavlov / punkov, Iumatico, VIDEOSIGNAL, Yurockolonia

Ensar started creating music just for fun 5 years ago, thus expressing his memories and creating new life of Yugoslavia socialist TV music aesthetics, at the beginning in his head only, and later on through obscure sound under project Yurockolonia. His first release ever was issued in cooperation with his friend Deno Zivkovic, with whom he shares passion for old-school dance and electro. From that time on, Ensar starts creating music as Greg Pavlov, alias who inspired him to push us with strong desire to bring some retro yet fresh, synth-flavoured electro with some Italo-influenced touch and smooth dance floor beats. After a while, Greg Pavlov finds his brothers (Iumatico, Videosignal) who confirmed Greg's SCH as a usual producer's disease. Finally Greg Pavlov became Greg Punkov, and that does not bring us to the end of his story. He published for netlabel Oscilator. Greg is co-founder of Oscilator, with his friend Andrej Imamovic, and he plays at gigs as a DJ as well.

Boris Boras a.k.a. Borgie, SPLENDEX, BORIS THE BLADE

Boris Boras was born in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) following the shocking death of the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980. It was only natural for a kid who grew up in the '80-ies, with the sounds of Soft Cell, Inner City & Technotronic, to recognise himself in Detroit sound of early '90-ies, only to draw great inspiration from the German minimal techno scene that brutally enslaved him to living, creating & mixing techno.

At the dawn of new millennium he started promoting electronic music with two of his friends, Mustafa Salcin & Samira Poricanin, on a local radio station then known as Sarajevo 202. The concept of this Fresh Beats project was to lift all Bosnian artists creating and playing electronic music to a higher production level, as well as to maximize their public representation. Fresh Beats also sponsored almost all parties, promotions and leaflets related to the scene. During this period, 2000-2004, all Bosnian DJs played in the show, and promoters offered sounds from some of the best known DJs worldwide to their audience. These DJs either mixed or were interviewed by Fresh Beats - Dr. Motte, Shrike, Marshall Jefferson, Massimo, Adam Beyer, Marco Bailey, Carl Cox, David Morales, Billy Nasty, Marusha, to name just a few.

At the moment Borgie mostly releases his production on the Oscilator netlabel. In addition to his original alias, Borgie is working as Splendex when presenting minimal & electro, and also as Kran 709 for sounds like Detroit & breakbeat together with his friend Zlijay. And finally, at the end of the beginning, Borgie joined Buka label management, along with many music lovers and his friend Ymo17, founder of the association.
