DJ MCMLXXXV, born in 1985 in Belgrade, Serbia, has established himself as a key figure in Europe’s underground electronic music scene. After early exposure to the city’s post-Yugoslav rave resurgence, he began DJing as a teenager, quickly developing a distinct sound rooted in raw, industrial techno, acid, and EBM influences. Moving to Berlin in the late 2000s, he became deeply integrated in the city’s vibrant club community, co-founding the celebrated party series and record label **TANZTIERE**.

His marathon sets at institutions like Berghain, Tresor, and Drugstore cemented his reputation for uncompromising intensity and restless energy. He is known for seamlessly blending faster tempos and hypnotic rhythms with a deep reverence for rave history, often weaving unexpected classics into forward-thinking sets. As a producer, MCMLXXXV’s tracks have appeared on labels such as **Pinkman** and **Return to Disorder**, drawing praise for their analog grit and relentless percussion.

He continues to foster the next wave of Balkan artists, curating showcases and workshops that highlight underrepresented voices from Eastern Europe. Now based between Berlin and Belgrade, MCMLXXXV remains a driving force in pushing techno’s creative boundaries while building bridges across scenes and generations.
