We are very lucky this week to have as our guest @audiostormmusic, whohails from the beautiful European nation of Montenegro on the Adriatic Sea, across from Italy. Regulars of this podcast will instantly recognize his name, given the number of times we’ve featured his tracks and remixes.
A thirst for music knowledge borne from listening to such iconic bands as Joy Division, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and Depeche Mode, Ognjen Vukovic only slaked that thirst once he began to truly understand the music production process for himself. Now, an industry-recognised figure, Vukovic’s AudioStorm pseudonym has transformed the Montenegrin into a much sought after artist as his production skill and DJ talent have thrust him into the European limelight.
Proficient in a wide variety of musical genres, AudioStorm’s success has seen over 200 production credits found against his name allied to such luminary imprints as Sudbeat, Bonzai, System, Baroque, Natura Viva, Movement, Lowbit, Balkan Connection, Dopamine Music and Stripped. Supported by the DJ glitterati from Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo to John Digweed and Richie Hawtin, Paul Oakenfold, John 00 Fleming and Solarstone, Dixon and Ame, AudioStorm has generated a momentum that is gathering pace at remarkable speed.
