Východiska: Kozmické disco z Banja Luky

Vlastným menom Igor Delič, opisuje sa ako audiovizuálny umelec zo zapadákova, bez peňazí, bez práce a s predpotopným počítačom. Igora, ako mnohých, ku hudbe priviedol záujem rodičov. V 90-tých rokoch ho ovplyvnili britskí Underworld a až oveľa neskôr začal produkovať svoje prvé tracky.

Elektronická scéna v Banja Luke je veľmi malá a väčšina producentov sa venuje hiphopu, alebo minimal technu. Podobné je to aj v iných východoeurópskych krajinách, kde sa elektronická scéna ešte len štartuje. Igor svoje veci ešte nehral naživo a hudbu väčšinou púšťa ako dj na svojích vernisážach.

Igor Delič momentálne pracuje ako zamestnanec luxusného starobinca pre ex-juhoslávsku elitu. Hostia za pobyt bežne platia aj viac ako 1500 Euro mesačne, pričom Igor zarobí maximálne tri stovky. Ako podľa Igora ovplyvnila vojna jeho generáciu ?

„Pred pár dňami som bol s kamarátom na pivo. Hovorili sme o tom, ako je naša generácia v hajzli. Povedal: "Vidíš ako sme skazení - asi nám chýba nejaká vojna". Tu je to bežné, môj starý otec bol vo vojne, môj otec bol vo vojne. Mal som len 13, alebo 14 rokov keď sa vojna odohrávala. To sú roky, kedy sa mozog potrebuje vyvíjať za normálných podmienok. Mať matku a otca. Lenže otec bol vo vojne. Nerád by som aby to vyzeralo, že mám nejaké "daddy issues". Sú to fakty. Tak to majú všetci z mojej generácie.“

Ani 18 rokov po Daytone nevyzerá situácia v Bosne optimisticky. Únavu a zklamanie z politiky možno len ťažko nazvať pokrokom. Situácia ma vplyv aj na rôznodosť bosenskej hudobnej scény. Hudobnú produkciu Igora Deliča nájdete na soundcloude pod pseudonymom Della La.

The war in former Yugoslavia was ended with the Dayton peace accords in 1995. They created a state of two entities sharing the area of former Bosnia. One is Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina, composed of Bosniak and Croat cantons, and the other is the Serb Republika Srpska. From Sarajevo we traveled to its capital Banja Luka to meet a musician going under the name Della La on the internet. Igor Delič describes himself as an „Audio-visual artist from the ass of the world with no money, no job and an old computer.“

Igor, as many others was led to discover music by his parents. In the 90's he was influenced by the british project Underworld. Much later he started to produce his first tracks.The electronic scene in Banja Luka is quite small and the majority of producers creates hiphop or minimal techno. It is simillar to other eastern Eu countries in the time when their electronic scene was starting up. Igor has yet to play his own music live. So far he played only as a DJ n his own art opening.

Currently he works as an employee of a luxurious retirement home for the ex-yugoslavian elite. The patrons pay up to 1500 Euro a months for their stay, whilst Igor earns maximally three hundred. How does he perceive the effects the war had on their generation ?

„Few days ago me and my friend were drinking beer. We talked about how screwed our generation is. "You see how screwed we are", he told to me, "probably we miss some war in this area". It is usuall here that my grandpa was in war, my father was in war.. I was 13 or 14 years when the war was happening. Those are the years, when the brain needs to develop in some normal circumstances, having a mother and father. And the father is not here. I dont want to give the impression that i have some "daddy issues", but those are the facts. It is about everyone of my generation.“

18 years after Dayton, the political situation in Bosnia is not bright. One can hardly call a progress the politicaly fatiqued and disilusioned population. This has also an adverse effect on Bosnian music scene.
