About Lobor D
Lobor Darko was born in Belgrade, Serbia on 27. January 1985., but has spent most of his life in a near by town of Pancevo. Even in his early childhood he all ready shown interest in all forms of creative activities, such as music(singing and playing synths, guitars etc.), drawing, painting, photography, sculpturing etc. That interest is still present in his life to this day, as well as in his music, which is deeply influenced by all forms of art work he comes across.
Lobor D a.k.a. INperCeptiON started out mixing and producing in the small town of Valjevo, in 1999. It started out as just a pastime activity with a few friends, during the bombing that was going on in the region. After a few years of experimenting with various instruments, he reentered his music making carrier in 2001, back in Pancevo - his home town for the last 20 years.
Lobor basically stuck with the idea of making a fusion of his favorite genres, House, Techno, and deep progressive house. : Which is more than obvious in his tracks. In addition to his production preferences, he takes his live mixes up and down from top to bottom, playing stuff from acid jazz, over all kinds of house, to minimal and other sorts of tech, which lunched a certain fresh originality stamp associated with his performances.
Now totally concentrated on developing his production skills, and achieving his goal of bringing together these genres, Lobor also adds a down..s.
Currently his work is signed for a few American and European labels, but he is still awaiting for some,that will spread his gospel to a wider public. In the mean time, he strives to never fail in surprising his public with new and inventive vibes, and ever better production quality.
