Octex aka Jernej Marusic, has been experimenting with music equipment since late 90s, when he fell in love with the sound of old analog synthesizers. In all this years he found himself in doing Organic Crackle and Tone EXperiments (Octex), fusing his diverse techno, dub, ambient, hip-hop and other influences with the flavor of Ljubljana.
This resulted in releases on numerous compilations, the first one being Eletrotehnika Slavenika that later mutated into Tehnika 1. In 2002 he has release his debut album Idei Lahesna on Tehnika records, which received high praises from both critics and the public. His self-made video for track 'Emergon' got played on such TV stations as VIVA, Onyx TV... which is quite surprising for this stile of music.
In 2003 he has received Bumerang Award for best new comer of the year, and for second year in the row, he was selected as one of the 10 finalist for Radio France International Electronic Music Award.
In the mean time he has become one of the most (if not the most) active Slovenian live acts. Performing on such diverse locations as Club Transmediale festival in Berlin, Meet Me festival, Slovenian Ministry of Culture New Year's party..., regularly playing at Chilli Space events, and becoming a resident at the legendary Club K4 in Ljubljana, for the 2003/2004 season.
