Dub yourself

About Me

I was introduced to music at age of 12. My first encounter were the drums. I was listening to Joshua Three, album by U2. I was amazed and I decided to make a record myself. My first record was recorded on a tape, while I was playing on 2 metallic candyboxes. Then, a few weeks after, the unfortunate disaster began...the war inna Bosnia. I took the last possible Bus that came out of the country in flames, to Germany, where my uncle lived with his family for several years. I began to go to school and learn German. After few weeks spent in Ludwigsburg's primary school I was introduced to my future music teacher and I began, for the first time, to handle with real drums. It continued so on for some 2 years more until the day when I was kicked outta Germany, yes no shit!!! The reason was the forthcomming „Liberation of my Country“, and I was supposed to go back to Sarajevo, while actualy the war didn't cease yet. Since this day I realised what means to be a clandestino!!! Such a clandestino myself, I went to Switzerland, precizely Geneva, and I continued my studies. New Country, new loanguage, new people... In my College, I was introduced to Raphael Daniel, music professor. The man could play any instrument in the world!!! We have created a Jazz band in the musical section, and that's where I discovered the musical improvisation! Since then, I participated in various combination of musicians;...Metalfreaks(myself a formewr one), Street Musicians, Religious Musicians etc... I discovered the Dub before i even knew about Reggae. Thanks to the former squatt Le Goulet in Geneva, which does not exist any more , I simply fell in love with a Soundsystem! Then I discovered Reggae, step by step. So, I was playing drums fom long time till the moment when I discovered the Digital Production possibilities. From this day I try to explore the unlimited ways to express myself through a computer!! Hehehe...what a cynical bastard I am! Personaly I think that DUB can unite even the worst ennemies! Give peace a chance by leting the Bass touch Your heart and lead to the way of salvation!Jah Bless and DUBWISE!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------- With a little help/ pomoch of me friend and brethren Billain who s space is inevitable to see and hear. Billain, producer and sound designer opened my eyes and ears on the possibilities of producing music at home/ computer, without professional monitoring! As U can hear it!As we both search for the ultimate maast/positive allaround grease, we explore the unexplored frequencies under sub level!May all the SUB- woofers worldwide finaly comprehend that grease is inevitable, like an old bosnian poet once said......ashik maaast, ashik maaaast,...nek curi iz woofera, aman woofera!
