Full Interview about Ivan Komlinovic

When did you start djing?

late 1993. first mix tapes were out in 1994.

What Artists is an inspiration to you?

It is extremely difficult to answer that question. After 20 years of DJing and searching for my own sound I had at least 20 artists that had strong impact to my musical and technical evolution. In general I always had special place for non predictable artists with "balls" to experiment and attitude. My roll models were few local talents, but probably Derrick May was a DJ who's set in 1996 made me re think about what I am doing, and open few extra channels in my head. After hearing Derrick, I never played same way.

As a DJ, I probably learned how to think about music from underground icons such as laurent garnier, Dj Bone, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, but as a producer and writer, my influences go beyond boundaries of electronic music. Music producers I admire can be anyone who's approach to writing, sound designing and producing I find original. I am just crazy about stripped down music without any intention to be liked, but still addictive, and makes you want to hear some more..

Are you producing and Planned releases?

I am producing music constantly. No plans, releases are for me just a good moment between artists work and label. I have 1 upcoming release for local Decoded label, and some finished tracks I would prefer to have released on vinyl labels, for obvious reason; It is the only way I could also play my music...You see, I have pretty unique way of thinking about my own music production; I just play and have great time with my instruments, every second available. I really have no big expectations from my music production, but good things just happen when right publishers feel and detect elements of art and science in my work.

Favorite label?

It would probably be 430 West, Metroplex or Underground Resistance, butI love all Chronicle releases, most of 50 Weapons releases, Token, Acid Worx, Vakum, M Plant, MFD, Burek, Dekmantel, TTT, R-Zone....

What do you think about the Zagreb Underground Club Scene?

Zagreb is extremely active at the moment. Lots of independent underground crews doing there best to keep vibe alive and to educate new generations. There are 3-4 underground clubs in Zagreb, and few really interesting crews that keep spirit Alive.

What can the Croatian club & event providers do better for underground dance music as a culture in the region?

First off they need to do lots of research to get an objective picture of how many regular party goers are out there. Then, they need to educate, themselves and there target crowd about the music presenting. Today, lots of active promotors organizations don't have a clue about music and culture they are only in it for the money. As a result we have empty or just bad partys...Lucky for us, most of the active promotors really know what they are doing and are prepared to learn and adapt...

What can your fans expect to hear in your Dj sets?

My fans can always expect real underground vibe. Sometimes very unpredictable. I love deep, repetitive hypnotic moments in clubs, so I guess it is what I tend to deliver to crowd.

What is your primary source to play music (vinyl,digital,USB, cd)?

Vinyl. I had 3 years of digital DJing period, but I just did not enjoyed..

Sounds supreme is a platform on Pulse Radio that allows me to basically extend the music boundaries of a normal show that may just focus on one genre & also enables me to get producers who might not necessarily get the opportunity to get their music on mainstream stations to play out

on the sounds supreme show. its also about showcasing new & unreleased music from wider section of music that is available and of course done with a soulful underlining.

14. What can Munich club & event providers do better for dance music as a culture in the region?

Dance culture will be what it is here, disco orientated origins determine that but I guess a few things are starting appear from month to month but I guess just do something unexpected & captivating in other genres would be a good start.

Yes of course. From my point of view Munich has a scene with two different characters.

I try to pic the right track for the moments, create a journey through different genres but always with that certain something :)
