EGOLESS

Born in 1984. in Croatia (former Yugoslavia) when (after Tito’s death) the country was slowly preparing for a bloodshed which cumulated in the beginning of the 90-ies, exposing the worst in human beings, turning the thief’s and the wicked ones into moral authorities who took over the country to this day. From and early age music was an escape from harsh reality that was surrounding him, and very soon, after discovering punk & rock around 1997. he started his first band, and did his first gigs from an age of 14.

After moving to the capital (Zagreb, where he resides to this day) he instantly got hooked to dub, reggae and especially jungle music, through Goldie’s “Timeless” album and shortly after that in 2002. started getting into ,music production, doing dub, reggae, jungle and some experimental music while still playing and touring with various bands as a keyboardist, guitarist or sound engineer.

In 2009. he started Egoless project with No, Ego, No Problems EP, but quickly started combining dub and dubstep music into one organic whole, while keeping the both foundations of styles in tact, utilising old Jamaican dub techniques and hardware (analog mixer, tape, tape echoes, spring reverbs, instruments). In the same spirit he is doing the performances live utilising the same techniques.

After 2012. and first vinyl release and recognition, he never looked back and dedicated himself solely to the project and after countless successful vinyl & digital releases and remixes for highly respected labels in the scene such as System, Scrub a Dub, ZamZam, Lion Charge, Blacklist and gigs, festivals and tours all around US, UK, Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Canada, India and Russia he signed and released highly praised Empire of Dirt EP on Mala’s influential DEEP MEDi MUSIK label and continues to play gigs all around.

During COVID pandemic he decided to rethink his live performance, rebuilding live rig from scratch which now includes samplers, modular gear, looper, bass guitar… The new setup allows. much more experimental and improvisational nature of the performance.
