Synchronized

Synchroni3ed (Zoran Licanin and Stefan Milenkovic) met in Belgrade in 2004, while going out to infamous progressive house Thursdays at club “Mamolo”. They soon realise that they share the same music taste, being influenced by all types of sounds.



In 2005, the duo begin to produce tracks together, their primary focus being progressive electro, with a very recognizable funky groove that defines their sound. Zoran was born in 1980 in Zagreb. As of early age he showed interest in music and started playing the guitar, which he perfected playing classical music, but in time was progressively more fascinated by electronic sound. He played and gained experience in numerous bands. Guitar effects gave him the possibility to play with his sound; fascinated with results of sound processors he strived towards incorporating electronic elements in his music, and today this is one of his trademarks.

In 2005, by Stefan’s influence completely dedicates himself to electro music.

Most of his free time, he spends by playing the piano, electrical and bass guitar, and composing his own music. In 1998, he moves to Sydney, Australia, where he discovers his affection for house music, starts DJ-ing and quickly gets invited to do private parties in Sydney’s smaller underground clubs. Stefan moves back to Belgrade in 2004 where he meets Zoran, and soon they start DJ-ing in all of Belgrade’s clubs. Also they start to produce and compose various genres of music, such as chill-out, hip-hop, techno, electro, progressive…
