Octex aka Jernej Marusic, has been experimenting with music equipment since late 90s, when he fell in love with the sound of old analog synthesizers. In all this years he found himself in doing Organic Crackle and Tone EXperiments (Octex), fusing his diverse infuences with a special flavor of Ljubljana.
This resulted in releases on numerous compilations, the first one being Eletrotehnika Slavenika that later mutated into Tehnika 1. One of his tracks from Tehnika 1 already got noticed by the legendary John Peel and played on his radio show on BBC.
In 2002 he has release his debut album Idei Lahesna on Tehnika records, which received high praises from both critics and the public. His self-made video for track “Emergon” got played on such TV stations as VIVA and Onyx TV, which is quite surprising for this style of music.
In 2003 he has received Bumerang Award for best newcomer of the year, and for second year in the row, he was selected as one of the 10 finalist for Radio France International Electronic Music Award.
In the mean time he has become one of the most active Slovenian live acts, and has performed as such prominent festivals as Club Transmediale, FutureSonic, ISEA, La Batie, Nuit Blanche, Exit… either solo or as part of multimedia project Signal-Sever.
He is also regularly playing at Chilli Space events and at the legendary Club K4 in Ljubljana, where he was resident in the 2003/2004 season. |
