DERNAJ is a Slav born Australian producer and DJ. He recently relocated to Europe to draw inspiration from his Balkan roots and to become a founder of a new multidisciplinary design company. DERNAJ has been immersed in electronic music since a child and was initially influenced by the Melbourne rave scene and artists such as Underworld, Chemical Bros, HMC, Aphex Twin and Sven Vath. Perfecting his production skills over the last few years, he has created a massive back catalogue of music ranging from pulsating techno, explosive acid and early 90’s German trance. Since his move to the Adriatic coast, he has performed extensively at many clubs, festivals and underground events. Inspired by the raw and vibrant energy of the region he is in the midst of launching his own techno label and music documentary series ‘Live & Intimate’ from his studio in Kotor, Montenegro. He recently released the heavily acidic ‘Call Yourself EP’ on Reset Brazil in collaboration with Reset label boss Stefano TT. Along with his debut ‘The Fundamentals of Allegory EP’ on Hellraiser’s “Tension Music” label have all been positivity supported by the broader techno community. 2024 is set to be very exciting with a recent resident announcement with Balkan Electronic organisation Ecstatic Move. He has several collaborations with Antarctican based artist Julika (who wrote the Space Ibiza Anthem of 2016 with Carl Cox),Montenegrin Ecstatic Acid Queen - Stamina Vu and the [RE]SET Records Head Honcho - Stefano TT all set for release later this year. A [RE]SET Records European label tour is planned for September and October to truly finish off the year in spectacular fashion.
