About Me

BORKA is a 26 years old DJ/producer/promotor from Ljubljana, he's been spinning records since 1999. His style is quite eclectic: he plays breaks, from funky breaks, dubby breaks to nu-skool. He also plays drum n' bass (from deep & dubby stuff to liquid funk...), hiphop (mostly abstract, instrumental and leftfield beats, headz), and might add a scratch rutine to his set. Has played all over Slovenia and abroad: Croatia, Hungary, Germany, Austria, France, Great Britain, Norway, Serbia, Bosnia... with various international artists. His set was played on the infamous London based radio Kiss FM (in the Tayo Poopola show). Borka is a member of a dj/vj/someotherstuff collective called Code.EP. He's also producing music. Has few releases on few compilations, does production/beats for the Ironic Tronic project and some other hiphop acts. Besides deejaying Borka has worked on various projects: a turntables/double bass act with bass player Tomaz Grom, music for a feature movie, animations and theatre... Does promotional/program work for club K4 (mainly dn'b, freestyle & hiphopish events), done nights with deejays like Bonobo, Zinc, Big Bud, Dj Format, Danny Breaks, Dj Yoda, Quantic ... Has a radio show called BreakWave on Radio Student which is dedicated to presenting fresh breakbeats in the broadest sense of the word. Writes music reviews for some magazines (Mladina, Muska) ...
