DJ Umek planted the seed of this new electronic music initiative in the beginning of 2007. The project builds mainly on live presentations of machine-made music, and is also supported by a label of the same name.

The international initiative 1605-Sixteeofive builds on the philosophy that defined Slovenian techno as one of the leading forces in the global music milieu. This tradition that was initiated under labels such as Recycled Loops, Consumer Recreation and Astrodisco, is now getting fused with similar incentives that build on genre bending, sound searching and cultivation of yet unknown music territories. The ultimate goal of the 1605 Tribe is to invest electronic dance music as a unique cultural expression artistically equal to the ones that build on choir, band or orchestral performances.

The monthly 1605-Sixteenofive radio sessions promote the journey of the 1605 Tribe and to further contaminate the club scene and your ears with its musical philosophy. Umek and his peers will be in charge of the program, and the vanguard of electronic pioneers from all over the world will share their magic with you. Join the 1605 Tribe on www.inthemix.com.au every month.
