What's the future of DJing? Traktor. The classic analogue set-up is too restraining for DJing.
Favourite app? Native Instruments' Reaktor.
Discovery of the year? Kopaonik, a ski resort in Serbia. I've finally checked it out as a dedicated snowboarder and it's really good
Rediscovery of the year? Forget about dusting off old tunes, it's shooting hoops that turns me on again
Awkward Moment? A tabloid sent paparazzi after me while in a ski resort in Slovenia. I don't feel I'm a celebrity, I'm just a guy doing his job.
Style or substance? In music and life in general: substance.
Pet Hate? People being late. I don't tolerate tardiness in my personal circle.

“It was a very creative year in the studio,” says Umek. “I've made and released a lot of good music. My life is revolving mostly around gigs, producing music and taking care of the 1605 label.”
This year also saw Umek providing resident support for Carl Cox at Space Ibiza, and the unveiling of his Behind The Iron Curtain radio show. “I'm happy we've finally developed this project,” says Umek. “We've secured our niche on the global EDM-radio scene, with a partial focus on Eastern Bloc, which is usually overlooked by the western music and media industry.”
2012 will see one artist release/remix per month from Umek, and a new, extensively planned 1605 live project, premiering in February. TRISTAN PARKER
