Aleksandar Ordev (Александар Ордев) – Шут

Stotrojka, an independent label run by Kanal 103 radio, delivers a fantastic EP by Aleksandar Ordev. It features tight grooves that are eminently danceable, making it perfect for both dancing and getting lost in the music. Check it out on the label’s Bandcamp site.

“Art teacher by day and musician by night, Aleksandar Ordev is a veteran of the Macedonian electronic scene, experimenting with DIY electronics and sound design since the early ’90s.

Шут (Jester) is his latest release, stitched together under the glow of a disco ball in his home studio on Maksim Gorki Street in Skopje.
With modular synths tangled into a chaotic harmony of obscure archives, the deep internet void, vintage pop, and Balkan pathos, he reshapes memory and sound into something strangely moving. Equal parts serious research and inside joke, this is a sonic journey at its most personal and peculiar.”
