    Organizacija dogodkov, žanrska evolucija in Butik Festival (Rotor Motor) — Backstage #39

    V 39. epizodi Backstage Podcasta gostimo Luko in Nejca, poznana pod umetniškim imenom Rotor Motor. Preden sta združila moči v DJ dvojec, je Nejc ustvarjal v kolektivu Lanterna in organiziral zabave v Mariboru, Luka pa je deloval kot producent v skupini Matter. V pogovoru odkrivamo, kako sta oblikovala svoj glasbeni slog — od začetnih arpeggiatorskih zvokov in italo-diskoidnih synthov do sodobnega trancea, eurodancea in ghetto housa. Razkrila sta, kako se pripravljata na svoje sete, kaj ju navdihuje, kako se je razvijala njuna glasbena pot in kje se vidita v prihodnosti.
