An essential component in the steady ascension of the Croatian label Low Income $quad over the last couple of years, Strahinja has established himself as a prime mover for the whole local scene, stacking up releases on labels small and big, from PUPPY Tapes to BANK Records and Natural Sciences, via London’s Bliq and the multi-faceted Clan Destine Records to Angels Gun Club, Audio Bambino & Planetaria, with a track recently out on REPITCH Recordings. His music, either production-wise or in DJ sets, is a trip from trance to ghettotech, baile funk & guaracha, hyperpop, jungle, 90s looping techno all the way to noise, industrial territory, where Memphis rap samples can sit on top of pounding hardcore and breakneck speed-techno loops. Along with being a former resident of LYL Radio, he currently holds a monthly residency on the legendary NTS Radio and, since 2020, runs an additional label called Optimism Is Out To Get You, focused entirely on new takes and variations of 90s-inspired techno and trance. His recent DJ tastes are showcased in a mix he did for the Boiler Room HARD DANCE series.
