Jan Peters (Janko Prester) is Dj/Producer from Zagreb Croatia. His musical journey started at his early age when he listened to the atmospheric electronic music from the movies and radio shows in the 80’s, usually made by early pioneers of electronic sound like: J.M.Jarre, Vangelis, Kraftverk and various authors from the early Italo-Disco and spacesynth scene. However, the real active period started more then a decade later, when he discovered benefits of software music production and decided to make his own contribution to the world music scene.
He experimented with the various styles of modern club music, but over time he found himself most comfortable in his unique style of progressive house, which combines modern electronic beats with sounds and melodies of the spacesynth era.
During his career he released dozens of tracks and remixes and his music was widely supported by many prominent arists in the modern club scene.(Olav Basoski, Glenn Morrison, Red-Eye, Judge Jules). His remixes also got strong support. In 2010, his remix for Dj Tiesto’s classic track -The tube, was one of the top sellers on the Bonzai music label, and in his home country he became well known as one of the people who remixed songs for Dino Dvornik, a legendary croatian funk singer and artist.
As DJ he already played on many shows where he demonstrated his DJ skills by combining his music with contemporary club tracks in the similar style. This allowed him to play in numerous clubs around the country, followed by strong positive reaction from the audience. But despite these achievements his career is only at the beginning and he has many more projects in the making, the most prominent being his first album “Color of our space” which is going to be released soon.
There are many inspirations behind his work, but the most important influence is the idea that electronic music should create strong emotions and encapsulate feelings about human interaction with technology and progress of human condition which is ultimately represented by the space exploration, something that was also fascination in Jan’s life. Finally, purpose of the electronic music is not just to give people a good time at the club, but also to give listener something to dream, to imagine a better world, better future and escape from limitations of the reality. In the end, music should inspire and motivate us to do great things, and that’s message behind music of Jan Peters. So feel free the join him on his journey through the electronic sound of cosmos.
