SZCH

SZCH (pronounced [ʃt͡ɕ]) is a Zagreb-based DJ and producer from Istria. His high-energy, genre-shifting sets lean into internet humor, sharp left turns, and sudden BPM pivots. He has performed across Europe and appeared on NTS and Red Light Radio. He formerly co-founded the Low Income Squad collective and later founded Value, a Zagreb project highlighting talent in music, art, and photography. “A lo-fi house trailblazer in the Balkans and master of melancholy summervibez™, his tracks such as ‘Untitled (B)’ were being played by Objekt at a time when our local scenes felt detached from the epicentre, always lagging behind. He’s helped increase the visibility of the region in recent years, both via the Low Income $quad label and their NTS show. Like a charming Jadrolinija sailor trying his best pickup lines on the Brits as they head towards Tisno, SZCH conspicuously flirts with hyperdigital patinas, syncopated beats, and cyborgian timbres to great effect.” - Jaša Bužinel for The Quietus
