| Splendex real name(s): Boris Boras place of living: Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina email: borisboras(at)gmail.com Borgie a.k.a. Boris Boras was born in Sarajevo (BiH) following the shocking death of the Yugoslav leader Josip Broz Tito in 1980. It was only natural for a kid who grew up in the 80s with the sounds of Soft Cell, Inner City & Technotronic to see himself in Detroit sound in the early 90s, only to draw great inspiration from the German minimal techno scene that brutally enslaved him to living, creating & mixing techno.
At the dawn of the new millennium he started promoting electronic music with two of his friends, Mustafa Salcin & Samira Poricanin, on a local radio station then called Sarajevo 202. The concept of this project entitled Fresh Beats was to lift all Bosnian artists creating and playing electronic music to a higher level, as well as to maximize their public representation. The project also sponsored almost all parties, promotions and leaflets related to the scene. During this time of 2000-2004 all DJs from Bosnia played in the show, and the promoters provided the audience with the sounds coming from some of the best DJ names in the world who either mixed or gave interviews in Fresh Beats, to name just a few: Dr. Motte, Shrike, Marshall Jefferson, Massimo, Adam Beyer, Marco Bailey, Carl Cox, David Morales, Billy Nasty, Marusha.
Nowadays Borgie is mostly preoccupied with a webzine netlabel Oscilator releasing his production & mixed compilations. In addition to his original alias, Borgie is working as Splendex when presenting minimal & electro, and also as Kran 709 for sounds like Detroit & breakbeat together with his friend Zlijay. And finally, at the end of the the beginning, Borgie became part of Buka label management, along with many music lovers and his friend Ymo17, a founder of the association.
