Baby Kate was formed in 1984, in Beograd, Serbia.
This is their one & only album from 1985. I don’t really know anything
about this band other than members from Baby Kate have gone on to play in many
influential & well known bands, like Partibrejkers, Centar, Rimtuti Tuki, & Ekatarina Velika, to
name but a few.

dreDDup are an massacre
industrial band formed 4th of June 1997 in the small city of Novi
Sad, located in the province
of Vojvodina, Serbia. The
band are pioneers of this sound in Serbia. The original line-up of the
band were just two punk guys Mihajlo (Mikka) & Robert. dreDDup was known to
experiment with weird sounds & dark wave / industrial music genres. Shortly
after their inception, they moved into the more strictly industrial vein.
They DIY produced their
first demo BDTP in late 1997. Their first demo album Abnormal Waltz,
late 1998, was originally the soundtrack for the movie “Noir” that never came
to fruition. dreDDup self-released 100 copies of the demo to friends &
fans. During the late 90s dreDDup were part of what was known as the post-Vivisect
industrial / noise movement. As part of that scene, they attracted the
attention of net-label Amduscias Records in USA. Amduscias finally officially
released Abnormal Waltz in 2002 (it was re-released in 2007 on Dadaist
Audio from Netherlands).
miKKa says this about
Abnormal Waltz: “This album is very
atmospheric in a way that it shows the sickness of mixing weird sounds and
echoes of rough drums. It is very apocalyptic and depressive.”
“However, even though it had the production limits of the time, it sounds really well when we listen to it today. Don't forget that we live in Serbia, a militant country that doesn't give a fuck for the art or the underground scene. I'm sorry to say that we are the only live industrial band in the whole country and we are very, very lonely in our music here. So listen to this LP carefully, at moments it will be boring, at moments it will be sick, at moments it will be catchy, and sometimes it will be amazing. This LP is from our old sound.”
They have released five
studio albums worldwide. New members joined the original duo & their sound
changed from album to album finally settling on their current style, massacre
industrial (industrial/crossover), of which they are the main purveyors. Their performances are characterized as energetic,
dangerous & filled with theater-like presentations. Their music is
characterized by dark, truthful lyrics with great attention to atmospheric
detail, exploring the dark sides of the human mind & the distorted
production of industrial music.
Former members: Robert - co-founder; Erich – guitar; Giaccometti – guitar; Malter – bass; & Sergio – drums. Current line-up: miKKa (Mihajlo Obrenov) –
co-founder, vocals & electronics; frAntz – drums; xxXandra (Aleksandra
Vukošić) – bass; Armageddon – guitar; & GPS – backing vocals.

Alexander Blu is the kind of musician that I really admire. He makes music for the sheer joy of it & shares that joyousness with others. I first discovered Alexander on Jamendo when I was researching musick for this project when we originally imagined it several years ago. I downloaded his FREE!!! musick, an album entitled May, which last time I checked had more than a million hits & over 60,000 downloads.
It probably is still my favorite, although I have not had a
chance to give his other offering equal time as of yet, but I felt I would post
up a different release. The other one that I’m especially partial to is Moderato.
It was made in the period between 1998 - 2000. All the songs are instrumental
except for “Flying” & “Jesenja jutra” which have guest vocalist Goran
Vasovic, a talented singer of a very well known Serbian band Eva Braun.
You can visit Alexander’s website & download any of his other great works, all free for you listening
pleasure. You can also learn more about Alexsander.
Briefly, he was born in Novi Sad, Serbia
in 1966. He has been interested in music since an early age. He composed his
first tunes at age 10. He has been trained in piano. During the 80s he played
in different rock bands. In the 90s he first started doing studio &
production work. He works out of his own studio that he started with a friend.
In the years since, he has recorded, mixed or produced about 100 records,
mostly of the pop/rock or electro genre.
