Zone Magazine Issue 036 - DJs From Mars

Their dance floor-oriented DJ sets have seen them
playing in Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Austria and many other
festivals. Never unconstrained by boundaries, as they
effortlessly transition between techno, house and
everything in between, demonstrating an immaculate
understanding of the audience’s wants and needs. Their
willingness to expand the components of their productions
while staying firmly rooted in what they do best—colossal,
haunting house and techno tracks overflowing with noise
and static, throbbing bass lines, and epic builds that
manage to be both tasteful and Stereolynk’s music is
ultimately about moving bodies, not knobs, all the while
giving way to an unprecedented degree of dynamism on
dance floors around the world. Welcome to the wonderful
world of Stereolynk!
Hey guys! Thanks for chatting with
us!
invite!
Hey! The pleasure is all ours. Thank you for the
Tell us where in the world are you
guys based ?
We are based in Nova Gorica, Slovenia - a small
but very beautiful country in the middle of Europe.
How did you guys meet ?
Me & Nenad meet a long time ago, I think it was in
around 2000 but never worekd together till a few years
back when we strated Stereoylnk over a few beers.
electornic muisic but have listend to everything from rock
to metal and I am pretty openminded about music. My
early days in house music were mainly soulful & disco
oriented and i switched to prog & techno later on. I'd say
the likes of King Unique, Henry Saiz, Christian Smith,
Masters At Work, Sandy Rivera, Harry Romero, X Press 2,
Pete Heller and likes all infulenced me through the
year. Nenad on the other hand has alway been in differnet
bands and as far as I know him, I belive he has been
infulenced by the likes of Nile Rodgers, Brand New Havies
and beyond as he is even more open minded about music
and follows a ton of artists.
What have you guys released to
date ?
As Stereolynk we had a bunch of releases on
ICONYC, Pro B Tech, Krafted Underground, Pangea, Melodic
Beats and my very own Mirabilis Records between originals
and remixes. Not much but we treid to focus more on
finding our own sound and give attention to details for
every trakc we worked on and we are quite happy as every
release got a strong DJ support accross the globe and also
some very good chart placements.
What are you guys working on
now ?
We just wraped a rmx for BC2, have a few singles
in the pipeline ready to drop in the coming months. We just
got back in the studio after a few months off and curently
we are working on orignal material with a bit of a different
vibe to it, darker and dirtier!
Tell us about your signature sound!
Our sound is a mixture of prog, techno but
Nenad always inject a bit of funk into it as well. We
try not to stick or follow a pattern but always go with
the flow when working on new own material. It is a
bit different when remixing as we try to keep the original
vibe while still adding our own touch to it.
Take us trough your writing
process!
We usualy start with building up the groove & bass
combo and we add more melodic elements over it just to
have a good loop going on and we than work on the
arrangement together, while Nenad is the musical brain
and he adds various harmonic elements and does the
mixing and tweaking. I give some ideas but he is the skilled
one here!
Who or what are your favorite or
most influence artist label or sound ?
This might be a tough one to answer... I have
more of a DJ background and I have always been into
Where can we catch you play?
We don't DJ much these days as between our day
jobs and families it it is quite hectic just to find the time to
get in the studio together, but yes - we have a monthly
show on Di.Fm called Mirabilis Selektions where we try to
deliver some fresh beats every month! Look up for it folks!
" We mainly work in
Ableton but I also use
Logic sometimes. I'd say
our go to plugins are from
Native Insturments
Komplee series and
Izotope - we just use
them on every project "
