Vladimir Ivković, born and raised in Belgrade, is a DJ, curator, and storyteller with a rare gift for crafting immersive musical journeys. Starting his DJ career in the mid-’80s, he found his spiritual home at Düsseldorf’s Salon des Amateurs, a haven for boundary-pushing sounds alongside artists like Lena Willikens and Tolouse Low Trax. His adventurous approach extends to his label, Offen Music, launched in 2015, which unearths experimental Serbian rarities, ambient explorations, and moody synth-driven gems.

A fixture on the global club and festival circuit, Ivković has performed at iconic spaces like Berghain, De School, and Concrete, as well as festivals including Dekmantel, Houghton, and Primavera Sound. His curatorial vision shines through his monthly Lunatic Love Songs radio show and contributions to platforms like Noods Radio and Kiosk Radio, where he explores deep, psychedelic soundscapes. More than just a DJ, Ivković is a sonic architect, shaping dancefloors with his unparalleled storytelling.
