As a young force, local DJ Yakka comes to complete our madness at Crazy Island Festival.

Given that we have already briefly introduced him at the Crazy Island Festival line up, we have prepared a few questions for him.

Awards

1. Yakka, some time has passed since your first Ambassador award in 2018, where you won the title of best DJ of the year. How did your life change after that? Was it the award for the best house dj or ?

Yes, but a small correction. In 2018 the award was Croatian DJ of the year, and in 2019 the best Croatian house DJ. I prefer the term “DJ of the year” because it is easier to be objective and more measurable than “the best”, which is quite a relative term. The awards certainly did not take away anything but contributed to the career. Consistency with performances is important to me and that I am always at the top of the list of the most wanted domestic DJs.

Remixes

2. I remember that you had some killer remixes for a quality part of the local scene, and then you decided to make your own album, which was a balm for the ears. Are there any indications of a new album?

That’s right, in the beginning I was throwing things out of the hobby and there was a bunch of everything, better and worse. At some point, out of curiosity, I remixed a couple of local artists and it was well received. Some of these remixes have hundreds of thousands of listens. The album was a logical sequence of events, at that time I was solidly satisfied with the result, but over time it is natural that we learn and strive for better, so a new album is on the horizon, which for me personally is better than the first, and it will be up to the audience to judge. The album will be called “Soulshine”. I want to release the first single out in the summer, while I choose and decide the right mixes & masters.

Studio

3. Is it much easier now that you have a studio in your own home?

I’ve always worked from home, but it’s definitely easier when you have a separate space for it that isn’t decorated and equipped according to your own taste. That’s where I close myself off and work unhindered when I have the will and inspiration.

4. Which study detail would you single out that you could not live without?

For me, the big jump in sound quality was getting a more professional sound card (RME Fireface 802) and monitor (Focal Shape 65). I would single out that as more important items in the studio and the jump from some amateur equipment to something more specific. It meets my needs for now.

Playlist

5. Since we will soon see each other at the Crazy Island Festival, please tell us who has left the biggest musical impression on you recently and in which direction will your playlist move?

I’m a DJ who loves style and can go wide in the domain of house subgenres through the sets, sometimes even a few techno tracks break. It is important that the audience has fun. Everything depends on the moment and the audience in front of me. At that moment, I evaluate how much I will experiment, or go “safe”, aggressive, softer, etc. Other DJs leave an impression and inspiration on me in general with their attitude, energy, way of mixing, a bunch of little things… all this more than just the music they play. My role models are old school house dj’s, but sometimes I learn something and I’m really impressed by relatively anonymous DJs who, for example, play a warmup set for me. I’m looking forward to the Crazy Island Festival, and I’ll decide on the spot which direction the set will go.

Yakka, thank you very much for your time and for the interview. See you soon in the center of madness.

DJ known as a representative of the urban music of Northwest Croatia for more than a decade. Pintha InDaHouse is coming to complete our madness at Crazy Island Festival.

Present on the house music scene for more than 15 years. Member of the prestigious Croatian house label Blacksoulmusic. Resident of the cult club night Tech Room & finalist of the Police DJ Battle in 2011.

He was the music editor of the grovie music shows “Dance Floor” and “Soho groove” which are broadcasted for years. Yeah, we must admit it. Radio Sjeverozapad had the best shows back then.

During his career, he shared his decks with renowned dj names. Those names include: Blacksoul, E-Base, Ivan Mastermix, Kay Zrill, Gramophonedzie, Paolo Barbato, Dave Manali, Peznt, Ferreck Dawn, The Shapeshifters, The Freemasons, Tim Taylor, Darren Shambhala, Jannet Slack, Miss Maverick, Happy B, Dj Om, Magic J and many more.

Pintha, tell us… Of all the collaborations with world-famous DJs, which one would you describe as the most significant?

Over the years I have literally played and met DJ stars from all over the World. But if I 

Can single out some of the most significant collaborations? Honestly, I can’t. At such events, the stars are in focus, not us other DJs, but still one of my favorite DJs and friends with whom I have both a business and private relationship is certainly Marko Miličević, better known as Gramophonedzije.

For me, the most important DJs with whom I still work today do not have a “world star” in their sign, but they have always supported and supported my development. E-Base, Kay Zrill, Balcksoul i.e. Peznt  were always there when needed.

We believe that the collaborations expanded when you moved from your hometown to Zagreb. How would you look back on the Varaždin scene now?

As for nightlife, Varaždin and Zagreb simply do not go together. Zagreb offers entertainment options in all genres of music while

Varaždin is deprived of clubs. The equation is simple, there are no clubs, there are no parties. Citizens of Varaždin are deprived of space where events could be held and the only thing left for them are open air events and more or less private events that are organized wherever there is a place. The DJs in Varaždin are excellent and it’s a good thing that they are not limited to playing only in Varaždin because they wouldn’t play!

If you could change or repeat any moment from your musical career, what would it be?

And this is a very difficult question. Tthere were so many wonderful moments and people that there is simply no scale by which to measure it. For example the sunrise in Dubrovnik with the song Everything but the girl – Tracey in my room, every ending of Arena Cool Beat. Monsoon rain in Terme Tuhelj and 5,000 people dancing like there’s no tomorrow. Early morning swimming on Rab after a crazy night in Santos. The ban on entering Slovenia with vinyls, haha. Simply, in the many years I’ve been playing, from every party I have wonderful memories. So there is nothing I would change or repeat because I could never know what good things could happen at the next gig.

Pintha thank you for your time. See you soon at the Crazy Island Festival. Do you have any final message?

Thank you, I have a message for the end.

 Time flies and never comes back. So don’t think. Live life to the fullest, have fun, dance no matter if the dj is a mega star or your local dj. Know that mega stars were also local DJs. Time passes but memories remain. See you soon to build a beautiful memory together!!!

The Crazy Island Festival was first planned for 2020. The year of the greatest challenges. Since challenges are something we like, we are happy to introduce you to the artists with whom we have something in common. Simon M, welcome to the Crazy Island Festival.

Wicked parties

1. So, Simon M, you have been known for years as a synonym for wicked parties in Varaždin downtown. In recent years, you present yourself as a dj at music festivals. What is the difference on the dance floor?

Well, the difference is quite big. Given the large filtration of people in the clubs the whole evening has its own flow. From the beginning of the evening until the end. Thats why music is mixed in the way there is always some “moving”, to create a good atmosphere for the crowd. On the other hand, at festivals, in that hour and a half, you present yourself and give the audience the “peak of the evening”, because at festivals the audience is targeted to dance well and have fun.

Clubbing

2. Is your music different when you play in a smaller club and at a bigger festival?

Well, the music is different in the sense that in a smaller club it is more based on some “mashup”, where there are all kinds and genres. Thats why there is something for everyone, and yet that it is incorporated into one whole to sound good in the end. At the festivals, however, the atmosphere is more intense, and the music is such that the audience is dancing all the time.

Vibe

3. We see you spreading a good vibe with your music outside county borders. What are the music tastes outside the county?

Well, the tastes are quite similar. A good atmosphere is important for everyone to have a good time. In my set, during the evening there is something for everyone.

Event

With you on board a wicked party is guaranteed. Do you have a message for our crazy dancers?

Yes, I do. I invite all dancers and people who want to have a good time to come to the Crazy Island festival. To dance well and to have fun because behind the whole festival is a good story and great organization.

Johnny Costa is one of the guys we will be extremely pleased to present at this year’s Crazy Island Festival. To give you a better idea of ​​the caliber of the young man here, we have prepared a few questions.

1. Ivan, hello, welcome to madness. We booked you 2 years ago when the covid situation postponed the event. How did you spend that period? Do you have any music surprises ?

Greetings!

Thanks for the welcome, the pleasure is all mine!

Yes, I was booked 2 years ago but unfortunately the Covid situation screwed us up like many others. That is why this year we are going even stronger and crazier!

Well I spent the covid situation working, I had a few performances, nothing too much because of the measures that were and honestly I really miss the stage.

I decided that I will still leave the music surprises for the stage. To be a real surprise 

2. We are glad that you continued to nurture your music career in a special way. Please tell us what event in your life prompted you to start making music?

Wellll, I started playing music when the first Ultra Europe came to Split. My biggest role model and inspiration was Hardwell who also returned to the scene after a long time.

3. From all the events you performed at, we know that there were many outside country borders. Which event would you single out as the one that stuck in your memory the best?

I have performed at many events, from Croatia, Slovenia, the Czech Republic… It is difficult to single out the best because each is special in its own way and I always do my best for the audience to enjoy.

But if one could separate, it would be a performance in Slovenia. Great party, top organization and definitely one of those parties you remember.

4. And finally, we see that we are driven into madness by a very distinctive person. Tell us please, what are you preparing for 30.07. ?

I am preparing a lot of things, both newer and older, to bring back that spirit of the former parties after this quarantine that caught us.

I will leave the details for the performance though!

See you and I can’t wait!

Johnny Costa
