Marko Vukovic - Beer Fest- Belgrade RS - Aug 2007

Biography of Marko Vukovic

Born in 1976, he showed his enthusiasm towards electronic music long time ago, in 1993, with the opening of the legendary club “Industry” in Belgrade. Gathering knowledge and technique from other DJ’s from that period, he started to swim in DJ waters by the 1999. By the end of 2002, he meets DJ Choda who was at the time owner of the local record shop “Groove Inn” in Belgrade, and with him and another DJ friend, DJ Mandarina he co-founds organization GROOVE INN. Working in the record shop and mixing daily for hours, he picked up a serious mixing technique on the vinyls and demistificated all the possibilities of DJ mixer.

He acquired his first residentship in 2003, at a club Mamolo, and continued to be a successfully resident there of Tuesday nights during 3 seasons, while the club was open. A lots of local DJ’s were a part of that Tuesday nights in Mamolo, some of them were famous, some were young aspiring DJ’s, as that was the original concept of those Tuesday nights at Mamolo - giving a break to young and undiscovered talents. Aside from that residentship he was also resident of Friday nights at a club Cvijeta, where he also had many local guests, as well DJ guests from countries in the region.

Beside playing at every important club in Belgrade (Plastic, Andergraund, Mamolo, Cvijeta, Exile, Sound...) and many gigs around Serbia, he also played at festivals such is “EXIT”, “This is My City”, “Beer Fest”, “BLEF”...

In 2007 he was a part of “TECHNOLOGY - The best DJ annual awards”, where he was selected as The Best DJ in Serbia in 2007.

He shared his place behind the decks with stars such as Eelke Kleijn, Fine Taste, Yousef, Greed, Ladytron, Eddie ‘Evil’ Richards, Liz Edwards, John Silva...

By the end of 2007 he moves to SELECTED DJ’S organization and starts his own music production.

He doesn’t like to place the music he spins into genres. That’s simply progressive music
with massive sound, end with elements of house, tribal, electro, minimal, and sometimes even trance. He’s known for his dynamic mixing abilities, and his communication with audience during his sets. He might even step down from the decks, straight to the dance floor, showing his own moves.

“The most important thing for me is a feedback from my audience. I don’t like when DJ is not paying attention to the crew in the club. After all, we are here so they can have good time, and to present our music in the best way we know how. If there is a feedback, if there’s contact with the audience, the party can not be bad.”
