Teenage Techno Punks are a young techno DJ duet from Belgrade, formed by Marko Nastic and Dejan Milicevic.
Both of them are interested in DJing since the begining of year 1995, when they started
to collect their first vinyls. Marko spent most of his time in that period practising
in famous DJ Lale's Happy People shop, where numerous Belgrade enthusiasts used
to gather. His first gigs were on Happy People parties, spinning records in club Omen
and Magna House club. First gig in most famous techno club in Belgrade - Industria was
in march 1997. on Lords Of Acid party together with Gordan Paunovic, Banyan and Mr. P.
He still plays on Happy People parties, despite the fact that most of his gigs are
under TTP.
Dejan Milicevic had his first sets also in Omen and Magna House. First bigger gig he
had together with Boza Podunavac on DTT:NYC:CHI party (january 1997), and soon
after that he was a resident DJ on these parties in club Industria. Their friendship
brought them to start working on parties together, in december 1996 (Magna House club).
Soon they are booked for numerous parties in Belgrade and across Serbia and
Macedonia (Skopje, Nis, Krusevac, Novi Sad, Kraljevo, Kragujevac, Kula, Indjija, Banja
Luka, Negotin...). Christening was on april 5th 1997 on Kozmik Attack party where
they worked together with Eric Powell, Boza Podunavac and Vlada Janjic. Since then
they are known as Teenage Techno Punks (thanks to Gordan Paunovic)! Within a month
they are on the second place regarding votes of club Industria visitors (after Boza
Podunavac). Vertiginous success was followed by a everytime better attendance on their
parties and also few DJ sets on Belgrade radio stations (B92, YuRadio, Studio B,
Radio Roda). At the end of 1997 on traditional Radio B92 Ritam Herca annual award, TTP
duet takes award for the best YU DJ. Besides Industria and Omen they also perform at
club Underground and ofcourse Barutana. At the YU Fashion Week (Prokovic sisters designs)
they were musical support. Fact that they had more than 110 bookings in 1997 is for
sure impressive!! As we speak of bigger parties, they worked with Charlie Hall, Eric Powell,
Daz Sound, Misjah, Mark E.G, Fred Giteau... These days (october 98) they are
ready for opening of clb Industria. They are residents at Omen club (tuesday)
and club Underground (thursday). On october 17th in cooperation with Gordan Paunovic
and Rex Cinema was held a party that will be the first in a raw of parties that will
follow. On these parties - matines (17:00-22:00) besides high quality minimal techno
sound, people can watch bizzare videos such as manga porno, trash films, and also
domestic and some foreign skate and in-line skate films, whose participiants are also
regular visitors on these parties.
As guests on these parties also planned are Lale, Boris Simov, Milos Pavlovic, Petko,
Boza Podunavac and also guys from block #64. As previous party, forthcoming will also
include 3 turntables, and news will be MC, drums and bass guitar! TTP plan to
gather great number of young people and to protect their work and interests, as
they will enable them to show their creativity to other people on their parties.
Till the end of november 1998 they plan to release mixed tape and CD, which will
be accessible via YuTechno website. As we speak about collaboration with other
artists they are keeping eye over Urgh! and HeadStream, both bands from Belgrade.
TTP own great thankfulness to Belgrade audience for following and supporting
us for a long time. Special thanks goes to Gordan Paunovic, Boza Podunavac,
Vladislav Tomanic, Lale and parents that have not supported us :).
