Biography
Mad As Hatter (Antun Conkas) has been into the electronic music scene for more than two decades as a listener, and couple of years as a DJ when he finally managed to buy turntables and started playing his favourite vinyls. As a kid, he was influenced by Kraftwerk, KLF, U96, Jean Michel Jarre and Vangelis, which led him to artists such as Laurent Garnier, Silicone Soul, Circulation, Doc Martin, Mr. C, Technasia, Richie Hawtin (especially his Plastikman project), Alexander Kowalski, Gaetano Parisio, Sven Väth, Funk D' Void, Danny Howells, Lee Burridge, Agoria, Moderat, Extrawelt, Björk, Leonard Cohen and many other electronic and non-electronic artists that have contributed to the establishment of his present musical taste.
His music varies from house to techno and one never knows which track is going to occur, because he plays different types of tracks. His mixes can be filled with an abundance of emotions and he is able to pick out just the perfect track to transmute you from sadness to happiness, from calm to fear, from playful tunes to darker spectra of sound; you never know. He played in clubs such as Aquarius, Boogaloo, AKC Medika (all of them in Zagreb), La Noche, Discordia, Seven (Rijeka) and Ambasada Gavioli (Izola, Slovenia). Nowadays, when he is not occupied with his daily job, he produces his own music which ranges from experimental from ambient, thus being quite different from his DJ sets. Well, enough with the talk. The best way to get to know him is to visit audio section on his webpage and listen to one or two of his latest promos. Maybe Shutout or Rest in pieces are your choice for today ;-)
