Mixed by: Cosmic G
Serbian DJ, producer and promoter Cosmic G in the mix with 1 hour and 50 mins of heady chilled out euphoria. Definitely someone to keep an eye – check out Igor’s productions on Haws and Snippets with his buddy Laars and solo upcoming ones on Ritmo Fatale, Comma Trax, System 108 etc.
Hi there, how’s things? Can you introduce yourself briefly to our listeners?
Hi everyone, I’m Igor Radošević aka Cosmic G dj and producer from Serbia, a small country from the Balkans.
What’s been keeping you busy of late – you’re both a DJ and a producer?
To be honest, it’s difficult to do everything since making a career from music is nearly impossible anymore, especially in Serbia. But, because music is my passion and my profession, I always make time for producing and DJing.
Do you have any fond musical memories from your childhood?
My whole family is in some way into music, so I was surrounded by good music from a young age, which was an integral part of my life. Later, I enrolled in a music school, which was a stepping stone to my musical career.
What drove you to electronic music in the first place?
I had a band for a number of years before discovering electronic music, but the first couple of parties with my brothers when I heard drum n bass and psy-trance altered everything.
What about DJ’ing, and how did you get started?
I began my party special with a couple of buddies in an abandoned home in Belgrade. That’s where it all began.
Name a few records or songs that had a big impact on you in your early days and why?
Definitely Infected Mushroom, Linkin Park and LTJ Bukem!
Do you have any memorable experiences to share from your early days as a DJ?
The best memory was playing for my friends, which made me really happy as we were trying to find places to listen to the music which we love but we couldn’t really find a place where we could go and listen to it.
How has your music collection expanded over the years – is your approach systematic or organic?
I’ve never set a restriction on the genres I listen to or play. The system is more organic, and in general, I play music that I enjoy in the way that best represents me through the selection of various tracks, vibes, and so on.
When you select records for your sets, what’s your approach like?
It depends on where I perform, how many people are there, and what slot I have, but in general, the music always goes in the direction of what I consider appropriate and how I show myself in the best way.
What have been your most memorable record finds? Any good stories?
My really good friend brought me some time ago really interesting records and compilations from the Moroccan Market.
I just need to ask, how’s your vinyl record collection organised?
Really badly right now as I am trying to DIY some type of shelves at the moment since my collection got really big.
Name five tracks or releases that are currently on heavy rotation?
1. VA – Retrodelics vibe 5, especially Jaia-Mai Mai
2. Phony Orphans- Chocolate Icetea
3. N.U.K.E.- Nana (Technovision)
4. Bob & Ian- Kat-I-Kizm
5. Force Mass Motion-Fall Deeper
Who are the artists and DJ’s you think deserve more attention than they get currently?
Tifra, Bliss Inc, Dylan Forbes, Anderson, Remotif, Solar Suite, Dj Life, In2Stellar, Hannd
Did DJing eventually turn your attention into making music or was it always there right from the beginning?
To be honest, I first started producing then djing.
How have you evolved as a producer?
When I started with exploring electronic music, I started off with some techno & psy which began to sound a bit basic to me and I knew that it was not everything that the genre has to offer, so I explored and started with breakbeats, more proto trance and 90s electronic music.
Out of your own releases, which do you have the strongest bond with and why is that?
There are a few which are not released yet, ofc it’s like that because I am always excited when I produce new tracks and the strongest bond is always with the newest ones.
What does the coming 12 months hold for you in regards of releases, collaborations etc.?
I’d want to tell you everything right now, but let’s keep at least one thing secret. Though one thing I can guarantee is that a lot of music will be ending this year and next.
What’s your current favorite piece of kit?
Roland TR8, MC 307 and TD3-MO
Let’s talk Belgrade. Can you talk about your beginnings?
Since I am the only one doing this style, it’s really hard as I am trying to implement it in Belgrade nightlife and I’m doing everything by myself from promotion to educating the audience that you can actually listen to the music in the clubs you go to.
So the mix, can you tell us a little something about that?
I can assure you one thing, you will hear some forgotten sounds as well as a futuristic take on those.
