their own biography
the whole biography
Exposed to music from day one, the guitar was first for Luka and it came from somewhere harder. Growing up in Belgrade under sanctions and bombs, music became his fantasy world for escaping reality. Spending weekend nights in his mid-twenties in Berlin’s scene while studying classical music and preparing concerts in Zurich, he discovered something in endless nights at Panorama Bar and rising collectives that a concert hall couldn’t offer: belonging, a space where community and music became one, where joy rose into a form of resistance and healing. „I‘m not a DJ, you mixed me up“, Luka turned down his first booking request. 2 months after that first show for Herrensauna in Zurich, Paragon NYC happened and he fell in love, even though it took him a while to call himself a DJ. Luka digs what moves and plays tight, blending overlooked records with modern productions until the decades between them disappear, moving from floating to physical, hypnotic to hard, shaped by years spent collaborating across dance, visual art and live electronics before touching a CDJ. The concert hall still shows up in how he plays: long phrasing, returning motifs, a build that teases before it breaks. tanzen6000 grew directly out of that experience and a need for unity: Zurich’s scene felt split into bubbles that rarely met, so he pitched an idea for a tiny venue: 4 DJs, completely different sounds. It sold out. The second edition doubled capacity. Today tanzen6000 is one of Zurich’s vital queer-led collectives with home-base at Kauz, where POC, trans, queer and FLINTA artists shine and amplify unity between communities. Selected past venues: Macadam (Nantes), Motel Campo (Geneva), Montreux Jazz Festival, Nachbar (Amsterdam), Bizarre Festival (Paris), Dalston Superstore (London), Garcon Sauvage (Lyon), sic (CDMX), Paragon (NYC), Podlasie (Chicago), Le Bain (NYC), Schwing & Stampf Festival, six dogs (Athens), Kauz (Zurich), Exil (Zurich), Circle Park (Brussels), Dolu (Sofia), Brutal MX (CDMX), Vago (Lisbon), Flower Factory (Washington D.C) Selected podcasts: Smut, Kiosk Radio, Rinse, IsBurning, Vitamine, Homodropoften with Elon, Chuwee, Zeravla, none of them here that night
