Neka Neka

Neka Neka (on General Purpose) is the first solo release by multi-disciplinary artist, Ex Ponto (Ivan Masić). Coming of age during the mid-90s Melbourne rave scene, Ivan was infected with music by the legendary Kate Bathgate on 3RRR community radio. Hearing music by the likes of Oliver Lieb, Will E Tell, HMC, and other producers of the time, an infection quickly turned into a music obsession that lives on today. In the following years Ivan would go on to manage one of Melbourne's longest running record stores (Dixons Records) and in 2005 built a recording studio, aptly named The Womb. From 2005-15, he produced and played on over 20 albums for improvisation collective, Council of Elders and, experimental, no-wave band, Wunderlust. Neka Neka is a nod to ex-Yugoslavian experimentalists of the '80s (Rex Ilusivii, Kozmetika, Miha Kralj, etc.) and the thriving, late-night hedonism of Belgrade's Club 20/44. Includes download code.
