PODCAST #166 – SCALAMERIYA

✈ To celebrate this 166th episode, we are proud and delighted to welcome DJ, producer & VOID+1 label boss : SCALAMERIYA.

Scalameriya is a Serbian DJ, producer and sound designer known for his flashy mixing skills, eccentric productions and menacing synth design.

The combination of leaping into the world of techno at the age of 13 and having an obsessive personality lead to extensive practice-sessions and the development of impressive dexterity in djing. As difficult as growing up in Serbia has been, that experience gave him the necessary focus to dive deep into production and find refuge while creating his distinctive style of techno.

Scalameriya, written “Skalamerija” in Serbian, is a word used to describe any unfamiliar-looking device of an unknown or even non-existing purpose, function or origin. This became a concept that is reflected in the structure of his productions and DJ-techniques. Often described as hard and aggressive, he claims that his sound is heavy and intimidating, insisting that those are similar, but divergent aesthetics.

Scalameriya’s individuality and militaristic work discipline have proven to be prolific as his records can be found in catalogues of some of the most important record labels such as Perc Trax, 47, THEM, Void+1 and Genesa. Both as a DJ and a producer, Nikola demonstrates that he is an unstoppable force, delivering performances and soundtracks that are leaving behind lasting impressions all around the world.

The next chapter of Scalameriya’s turbulent saga in electronic music is Kornukopiya (2024), the manifesto of a mad scientist, a depiction Nikola resisted for years that ultimately became an embraced part of his persona as he finally takes on the lab coat of a genre-defying artist he was bound to become.
