Kozmik Communications is one of the leading DJ organizations in Yugoslavia. It was founded in autumn '94 by music editors from Radio B92 Gordan Paunovic, Vlada Janjic & Boza Podunavac. After births of Kozmik and another big organization, Integra, nothing was the same on Yugoslav techno scene. As the people from Kozmik say, they formed it because they were not satisfied with current sound that was played in the clubs, like trance and commercial versions of techno and house. So, they were into funky techno & house sound, as they are now, plus drum'n'bass and jungle which were added later.

A year after its genesis, Kozmik started to bring, at the first place and the most techno, then house and drum'n'bass international DJs. In the beginning they started with not-so-famous names, but later, with building their reputation, they brought very big names. International guests, brought by Kozmik in Belgrade were (chronologicaly listed): Riccardo Rocchi / ACV Records, Mark EG / Eternity Magazine, Warlock / Kickin Records, Ross Allen / Dorado & Filter Records, Craig Thomas / Digital Nation, Colin Faver / Deep Space / Kiss 100 FM, Nikki C / Jungle Mania / Jungle Nation, Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle (Slam) / Soma, Phil Perry / Full Circle, Brenda Russell / Deep Space / Mayday 9, Billy Nasty / Theremin Management, Trevor Rockcliffe / Ultimate, Francesco Farfa (Italy), Hell / Disko B, Eric Powell / Ultimate, Charlie Hall / MC Projects / Ultimate, Misjah / X Trax / XS & Daz Saund / Ultimate.

Kozmik DJs didn't play at raves organized in Yugoslavia. The reason for that is, as they say, that from the beginning they wanted to be only a little addition to the scene, and its corrector, and that they always had clear conception - underground. So the organizators of bigger events haven't called them. Only on Teknosys, rave organized by Kozmik, Integra and club Industria last year, Boza Podunavac played with Misjah, Good Groove, Andy Slate and Mark Wee. Kozmik DJs have played in almost all Belgrade clubs & cafes, at the first place Industria, Soul Food, Dom Omladine and Barutana / UrbaBar, then Shlep, Omen, Magna House and in many clubs all around Yugoslavia and Macedonia.

Kozmik has a well media cover on Radio. They have four broadcasts on Radio B92 92.5 MHz FM: Spin, BPM and Relaxacija (these are one of the first techno related broadcasts in Yugoslavia) and Club Chart. Relaksacija goes every Monday 01.00-02.00 and presents deep house by Vlada Janjic. Spin is edited by Gordan Paunovic, and goes every Tuesday from 22.00 till 24.00. You can hear new techno, house and drum'n'bass releases, and in the second hour of the broadcast goes Spin Mix, mix by some DJ from Belgrade scene. BPM is Boza Podunavac's two-hour long live techno mix, which runs every Friday from 02.00 till 04.00. Club Chart goes every Saturday 22.00-23.00, and on this chart are techno, house and d'n'b hits, lined up by music editors of Radio B92.
