Octex

Jernej Marusic aka Octex is one of most profiled and internationally established Slovenian electronic artists. His sound is placed somewhere in between club and avant-garde electronic music.



His debute album Idei Lahetesna (Tehnka, 2002) is regarded by many as one of the best dub-techno albums, while his second one Variations (rx-tx, 2005) showed his desire to push the sound further, deeper and more experimental, while retaining his love off deep bass and dub techniques.



After couple of years of only working on sporadic tracks and remixes for artists such as Marko Furstenberg, Gabriel Le Mar, Ultra-Red, Laibach. he is now locked in his new studio working on a new album, to be released at the end of the year on rx-tx label. Also planed for release this winter on the Thinner netlabel, is his long delayed ambient album Dead Center Of Nowhere.



In the meantime he is busy performing his audio/visual live set at festivals and clubs all around Europe, such as ARS Electronica (Linz), Club Transmediale (Berlin), ISEA (Helsinki), Dis-patch (Belgrade) Exit (Novi Sad) White Night (Riga), Flussi (Avellino).



This year he also formed a trio Ago Tela, with like minded musicians Marjan Crnkovic (Dojaja) and Mario Marolt (Electrosaurus), that focuses on live improvised electronic music.
